The MFMA provides fantastic training, opportunities, and education for the Sport flooring segment of Maple wood flooring. When you watch NBA games, take a closer look at the beautiful floors each team plays on. Every floor has set standards for installing, finishing, the paint used in graphics, and also the systems that are not visible underneath those floors. These standards meld together to deliver a floor that provides the spring, grip, and performance needed for everything from high school volleyball to NBA games broadcasted across the world.
A huge thank you to the MFMA from our companies and teams. A+ organization.
