Maple for sports wood floors

With the promotion and support of sports, the market demand for sports flooring is also increasing. In order to win a larger market, many enterprises and businesses have continuously improved the quality requirements of wood flooring. Special attention is paid when choosing the material of sports wood floor.
North American maple is also known as the "natural choice" for sports wood floors. In the United States, more than 75% of sports wood floors are made of maple.
Advantages of maple wood
Hard maple material has high density, high strength, impact resistance, wear resistance, and its hardness is 7%-12% higher than that of white oak and red oak. The maple produced in North America, which is north of 35 degrees north latitude, has a shorter growth period, so the wood texture is finer, and it is not easy to break. It will appear brighter and smoother under repeated friction, and can withstand strong impact. Durable and wear-resistant, it has a good effect on all kinds of paints.
Maple performance advantages
Maple wood is an organism of wood fibers and cell vesicles, with natural shock-absorbing properties. Its own characteristics, plus the combination of various sub-board structures at the bottom when designers design, can well meet the requirements of various types of sports floors in terms of safety and performance.
Maple appearance advantages
The appearance of maple wood has a natural beauty and a mild sound; the color difference of maple wood is small; the color is soft, the texture is fine, and the surface organization has subtle bumps, which can scatter the light and avoid stinging the eyes of athletes. At the same time, for courts such as basketball and volleyball, the natural light color and brightly colored paint surface can form a more intuitive contrast.
It is precisely because of the unique conditions of maple that it has been the material for sports wood floors for a long time; although other materials are also available, maple floors are still the mainstream when customers choose.
