MAPLE

Product catalog summary

Wood Description: The sapwood of Maple is very pale reddish white and impregnable, while the heartwood is pale red with straight to sometimes wavy grain direction and fine to very fine grain. It has low impregnability.

Technological Characteristics: Maple has an apparent density of 700 Kg/m3 at 12% humidity, making it semi-light to heavy. It has a volumetric contraction coefficient of 0.49% and a contraction ratio of 2.06%, indicating a tendency to deform. The hardness is rated at 4.5 (semi-hard wood), with resistance to static bending at 1,090 kg/cm2, elasticity modulus at 126,000 kg/cm2, and resistance to parallel compression at 540 kg/cm2.

Uses and Applications: Maple is used for indoor furniture, fine woodwork, carving, lathing, curved furniture, woodwork on openings and claddings, doors, flooring, parquet, wainscots, mouldings, and decorative plates.

Transformation and Installation: Sawing requires power, drying is easy but moderately slow with risks of collapse, cementing, and warping. Planing and other operations may cause peeling. Gluing is easy, while nailing and screwing require pre-drilling. Finishing is easy.

Product Formats: Maple wood flooring is available in formats for gluing or nailing, with dimensions ranging from 400/1600 x 90, 100, or 115 x 19 mm, and for nailing at 500/2400 x 90, 100, or 115 x 19 or 21 mm.

Quality Standards: The flooring meets various standards including AITIM quality seal, UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015, UNE-EN 13756:2003, UNE-EN 13226:2009, UNE-EN 1910:2000, UNE-EN 13647:2003, UNE 56810:2010, and UNE-EN 14342:2006.

Coating and Varnishing: The varnished solid wood flooring contains 8 layers of coating, including 5 layers of UV-drying acrylic and water-based primers and 3 anti-scratch coats. It adheres to standards such as AITIM quality seal, UNE-EN ISO 2808:2000, UNE ENV 13696:2001, UNE ISO 4624:2002, UNE 1109-6:1990, UNE 56817:1974, UNE-EN ISO 11998:2002, UNE-EN ISO 2409:1996, and UNE-ENV 12633:2003.
