Big Leaf Maple
Big Leaf Maple is prized for its bright champagne color with pale blush undertones. Grain is subtle, swirling and three dimensionally cloud-like, finishing to a rich, luminescent glow. Clean and elegant but not sterile like East Coast Maple can be, has a warmth that belies its uniformity. Character is strong and a nice counterpoint to the elegance of the Select grade.
Appearance Grades
SELECT is our finest grade, appropriate for wherever a refined, upscale look is sought. Virtually clear, Select allows an occasional small pin knot and burl.
CHARACTER is our popular appearance grade. Highlights the structurally sound natural features of the wood, including knots no larger than 2” in diameter, tight burls & small fillable holes which will not effect the integrity of the flooring.
Hardness
Janka rating 850 suitable for residential applications (comparable to Cherry)
Flooring Types
Engineered Pre-finished
A solid slab of 3/16" (4.5 mm) hardwood mounted to furniture grade multi-ply birch. 5/8" or 3/4" final thickness. Our GM Silk Floor Oil is a natural, zero VOC finish providing a subtle sheen, easy to maintain & very durable surface that brings out the luster and beauty of the wood without the "glazed" look of most factory finished floors.

Solid Un-Finished
Our traditional 3/4" thick solid wood, sand and finish on site floor. Square edges (no micro-bevel) means a good old fashioned seamless floor they way they were made for centuries. Extra Long lengths means fewer seams and longer runs for a less "bricky" appearance. Click here for more info...
