What are the standard widths and thicknesses for maple flooring?
A. Maple flooring is made in 2 common widths, 1-1/2″ and 2-1/4″, and 2 thicknesses, 33/32″ and 25/32″. The thicker profile, 33/32″, is being specified less often due to cost, and also because the theoretical increase in life span of 1-inch thick maple flooring has been called into question by the MFMA. In fact, the MFMA has sent a position paper to Architects urging them to avoid specifying it, calling it a waste of natural resources.
