Maple is a strong, close-grained hardwood from northeastern North America. Hard maple (Acer saccharum) has a dried density of around 705 kg/m³ and a high Janka hardness of about 1,450 lbf — one of the reasons it is the standard timber for sports and dance floors, worktops, and butcher blocks. Soft maple (Acer rubrum) is lighter, around 610 kg/m³ and 950 lbf. Both are naturally non-durable (EN 350 Class 5) and perishable outdoors.

BFP Thermo® Maple is heat-treated in a low-oxygen atmosphere — typically around 190 °C for interior-grade stability (Thermo-S) or about 212–215 °C for exterior-grade durability (Thermo-D). The process reduces the wood’s moisture movement, lifts its durability class, and deepens its pale, almost-white colour to a warm, even brown that carries right through the board.

Maple’s tight grain and hardness give thermally modified maple excellent wear resistance, making it well suited to flooring and heavily used surfaces. Because the colour change is consistent through the section, scratches and edges stay discreet — an advantage on floors and worktops that see daily use.

For designers, thermo maple offers a smooth, uniform surface with an understated grain and, in select boards, prized figure such as birdseye or curly maple. It delivers real toughness with a clean, contemporary look.

As a trusted wood supplier in India, we develop custom maple profiles to order. Clients weighing thermo maple wood price generally do so on the basis of its hardness, wear resistance, and long service life.
