Maple hardwood produces extremely durable wood floors. When comparing Maple vs. Cherry, for example, Maple has a hardness rating of 1450 while Cherry's rating is only 995. When considering Oak vs. Maple, Oak is more porous and easier to stain while Maple floorboards offer a more uniform look for larger, open spaces. And when looking at Birch vs. Maple, Birch floorboards have more personality in the grain while Maple offers more subtle, consistent tones.
The term "prefinished" refers to how the floors are finished, while "engineered" refers to how the floorboards are made. Engineered or manufactured hardwood floors are made with multiple layers of backing material on which a top layer of hardwood is glued. The result is a floorboard that's more resistant to changes in moisture and relative humidity.
A solid Maple hardwood floor is cut from a single piece of Maple timber. A laminate floor is made with a layer of backing material on which an image of a Maple floorboard is printed and then covered with a transparent wear layer.
Yes. With prefinished Maple flooring, we can finish all the individual pieces of your floor and cut them according to the pattern before the floor is shipped to your location for installation.

Carlisle has been a leading force in innovation in wide plank floors and for more than 50 years, and our prefinished flooring is no exception. When you order prefinished Maple flooring from Carlisle, we’ll manufacture it with small batch production that uses a specialized “three coat” process. This proprietary technique delivers 3x the durability of site-applied finishes and gives each board a hand-rubbed appearance rather than one that is painted on. Your prefinished Maple flooring will be sanded, stained and sealed under the most ideal conditions. With many of our prefinished floors, we apply stain to the side match tongue and a final coat of urethane to all four sides of the board, hiding seasonal gapping and creating a floor that’s more resistant to moisture. With Carlisle prefinished Maple flooring, you’ll have a floor that will exceed your expectations and that will serve as a welcome reminder of where you are, every time you return home.
