Maple Hardwood Grading Standards

MFMA Northern Hard Maple Flooring is a dense, strong, remarkably hard and supremely durable product that offers a wide range of uses and color possibilities.  Northern Hard Maple is close-grained, hard-fibered, free from slivering and splintering, and polishes well under friction. Northern Hard Maple flooring has a natural beauty when given a transparent finish and is suited for a variety of uses due to its unusual ability to resist pointed pressure without abrasion. It is easily covered with attractive finishes.

First Grade Maple

1st Grade: This highest grade is the clearest, most uniform in appearance and is practically free of all defects. Slight shadows and color variations may occur with the use of some finishes.
