Facility owners frequently ask the question: “What grade of maple should I put in our facility?” There really isn’t a right or wrong answer to this commonly asked question. Grades are simply a way of discerning between different visual characteristics of maple flooring.
To illustrate the point, compare maple grades to the craft beer at your favorite local micro-brewery:
- First Grade is a nice blonde lager
- Second and Better is more of an IPA or pale ale
- Third Grade is a hearty stout
Bottom line is you really cannot go wrong with your decision – whether it’s grades of maple or craft beer choices. It’s all about personal preferences. All the choices will serve you well.
