Western Maple Flooring Vancouver Island
unique, beautiful character from a locally-grown renewable resource.
Western Maple (Acer Macrophullum) is a fine-grained hardwood that has more colour variation and beautiful figured grains than Eastern Maple. Rich and warm, subtle and swirling. West Coast Modern. Elegant with a bit of nature.
Western Maple is found all around us here on Vancouver Island which offers ideal conditions. A fast-growing renewable resource from our own back yard makes it a planet friendly building option.
We source our trees from local logging companies, private woodlot owners and through salvage. Our target is large-diameter logs with character which provide opportunities for targeting grain configurations. Older trees also offer more figure and colour which is what makes Western Maple flooring so unique and special.
The tongue and groove flooring we produce comes in ¾” thickness and a variety of widths and finishes.
Coastal Timbers is a second-generation family sawmill located in Cedar, BC which specializes in Western Maple flooring and furniture wood. Each log is assessed and milled to maximize board quality and character which results in beautiful flooring for your home. After milling, flooring blanks are air-dried for 6 months, then kiln dried and profiled to customer flooring specifications.
The tongue and groove flooring we produce comes in ¾” thickness and a variety of widths and finishes.
Each floor is different and distinct with a wide range of colours from light tans through darker earth tones depending on the age, soil, conditions and genetics of each tree. Local Western Maple flooring is a wonderful way to add unique character to your home and a testament to the infinite creativity of mother nature.
