Brand Surfaces Maple Engineered Hardwood

Most people choose engineered hardwood for the look and keep it for the stability, the part you only appreciate after a few Ontario winters.

In simple terms: Brand Surfaces 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. The wear layer is 2mm of real wood, enough for one careful refinish down the road. The core is the quiet workhorse here. A cross-layered engineered core resists the expansion and contraction that makes solid wood cup, gap, or lift. Planks run 7 1/2 inches wide, a wide-plank look that shows off the grain. A handscraped surface gives it a worn, characterful look. It carries a 25-year warranty. Colours in the range include Maple Engineered Warm Onyx, Maple Engineered Blacksmith, Maple Engineered Millstead, Maple Engineered Pottery Barn, and Maple Engineered Wool Coat.

Decision line: Brand Surfaces Maple is the practical middle ground, real wood with the stability to go over concrete, into basements, and across the seasons.

We install Brand Surfaces 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.

Wood reads differently across a full floor than in a sample chip, so it is worth seeing Brand Surfaces Maple under room light at either showroom. Contact us to check availability, or browse the full hardwood flooring range.
