Quality You Can Count On – The MFMA Difference

When it comes to maple sports flooring, not all products are created equal. One of the key differentiators that sets the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association (MFMA) and its member mills apart from the rest of the industry is an unwavering commitment to quality through strict adherence to time-tested standards.

MFMA member mills are held to the highest level of accountability in the industry. Each quarter, these mills undergo unannounced product inspections conducted by MFMA-certified inspectors. These meticulous evaluations are designed to assess manufacturing tolerances, overall product quality, proper moisture content, and length distribution. The result? Only the best hard maple flooring earns the MFMA stamp—and only the highest-quality materials make it into your sports facility.

This rigorous inspection process isn’t just a formality—it’s a guarantee. Every strip of maple flooring from an MFMA member mill complies with stringent MFMA grading rules and quality standards. From initial processing, including strict kiln drying standards, to the final product, nothing is left to chance. Wood moisture content, a critical factor in flooring performance and longevity, is closely monitored and must fall between 6% and 9% during the manufacturing process. Proper length distribution is also verified to ensure ease of installation, structural integrity, and improved aesthetic appeal.

Mills are trained by MFMA inspectors and must consistently demonstrate compliance. This ensures that every MFMA-labeled product is backed not only by tradition but also by technical precision and expert oversight.

Choosing MFMA maple flooring means choosing excellence, reliability, and peace of mind. It’s more than just wood—it's a performance promise.
