Light. Clean. Unmistakably Refined: Discover Hard Maple
The Clean Sophistication of the Allegheny Mountains
Hard Maple is the quiet powerhouse of premium hardwoods. Sourced locally from Virginia’s mountain forests, it’s prized for its pale, creamy tones and fine, consistent grain.
Its natural strength and resistance to wear make it ideal for high-traffic spaces—while its light tone brings a modern, airy feeling into any room. Whether you're designing sleek cabinetry or brightening up a floor plan, Hard Maple adds understated prestige to your home.
Minimalist in appearance. Maximum in impact.
Exceedingly pleasing to the eye, Hard Sugar Maple has a reputation for having it all. The brilliant grain is mainly closed tight, with uniform texture but unlike most suppliers, we include curly and bird’s-eye figuring. Commercially used for bowling alleys and gymnasium floors, Hard Maple is quite hard and exceptionally durable.
