Anderson Tuftex Bernina Maple Engineered Hardwood

Real wood on top, a stable core underneath: that combination is why engineered hardwood ends up in more Toronto condos and finished basements than solid ever could.

In simple terms: Anderson Tuftex Bernina Maple is genuine maple on top of a stable engineered base. That is what lets real wood go into rooms solid flooring cannot, while still sanding and finishing like the real thing. We carry it and install it with our own team.

It is real maple, a fine, even grain that reads light and clean, at home in contemporary spaces. On the Janka scale Maple runs about 1450, harder than oak and a strong choice for high-traffic rooms. It uses a 1.8mm wear layer, built to be lived on rather than resanded, so it is best treated as a durable finished floor. Underneath the wood is a dimensionally stable engineered core, and that is the whole point: it keeps the floor flat where a solid board would react to the seasons. That is why it can go on, above, or below grade, including basements and concrete slabs, and over in-floor radiant heat, places solid hardwood cannot.

Decision line: treat Bernina Maple as a long-wearing finished floor rather than one you resand. Within that, it is a stable, real-wood option for slabs, basements, and radiant heat.

We install Anderson Tuftex Bernina Maple with our own team, not subcontractors, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County. The method depends on the subfloor, glued to concrete, floated, or nailed to plywood, and a flat, dry base matters more than anything. Read how we work on the hardwood installation page, or see our projects.

Wood reads differently across a full floor than in a sample chip, so it is worth seeing Bernina Maple under room light at either showroom. Since it works over radiant heat, it goes well with the in-floor heating membranes we carry. Contact us to check availability, or browse the full hardwood flooring range.
