Maple flooring: three looks, same premium quality

Discover how nuance, variation and the V+ option transform the natural character of oak to suit your decor.

Maple stands out for its hardness, fine grain, and natural clarity.

Its creamy to golden-beige tones bring brightness and visual balance, while its smooth, uniform texture complements both modern and timeless interiors.

Nuance

Maple Nuance offers our most uniform and refined appearance, highlighting the natural finesse of this wood’s tight grain. Its smooth, consistent texture reveals light shades ranging from cream to pale beige, with exceptional natural brightness. This selection favors the most homogeneous boards, with minimal contrast and no visible knots, resulting in a clean and contemporary look.

NATURAL COLOR

Relatively uniform with a slight variation in color.

PRESENCE OF KNOTS

Healthy and/or repaired knots are occasionally permitted up to 3/16" in diameter.

CRACKS AND SPLITS

None.

MINERAL STREAKS

Small streaks accepted up to 102 mm (4 in)

MARKS AND CHECKS

None.

OTHER CHARACTERISTICS

Slight abnormal color variations accepted (e.g. tool marks, stains on slats, discoloration, bluing, etc.) Occasional unrepaired open defects are permitted up to 1/16".

(*) In the hardwood flooring industry, there is an accepted allowance of up to 5% for planks that may be misgraded or off-grade. This means that while the vast majority of the flooring will meet our high-quality manufacturing standards, it is possible to find a small percentage of pieces with imperfections or defects. This allowance is standard across the industry and ensures that any minor variations in grading are within an acceptable range.

Wood is a natural, noble material. Each board is unique and may display variations in color, grain, and natural characteristics consistent with the selected grade.

Variations from box to box are therefore expected and are an inherent part of the product’s authenticity. They do not constitute manufacturing defects.

To ensure a balanced and harmonious distribution of natural variation, Preverco strongly recommends opening and blending a minimum of 3 to 5 boxes simultaneously during installation. This practice allows tonal differences, contrasts, and natural features to be evenly distributed across the installed surface.

When installation is performed by a third party, it is recommended that the homeowner:

attend the installation when possible, and/or
clearly communicate aesthetic expectations prior to the start of installation.

Natural characteristics may be positioned strategically depending on the desired visual outcome.

For example:

If a more uniform and understated look is desired, boards with more pronounced knots or stronger contrast may be installed in closets, cuts, or less visible areas.
Conversely, if a more rustic and expressive ambiance is preferred, these features may be prioritized in open living spaces.

Any board deemed ‘’less desired’’ should be set aside prior to installation. Once installed, it is considered accepted.

Proper planning and clear communication are essential to achieving a final result aligned with aesthetic expectations.

Variation

Maple Variation reveals more of the wood’s natural richness. Boards display a variety of tones, from golden blond to warm honey brown, while maintaining the smooth texture characteristic of the species. The grain, sometimes gently wavy, enhances the floor’s visual movement. This appearance offers a harmonious balance between natural character and elegance.
