In fact, the company is the longest standing member of the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association, also known as the MFMA. However, the company is better known for providing flooring systems for the NBA and NCAA.
The company has provided the game floor for the NBA All-Star Game over 25 times. Basketball courts are typically made out of hard maple wood. This kind of wood is used because of various traits including it being harder than other woods, having a tighter grain and containing a lighter color.
