Maxwell Hardwood Flooring produces a wide variety of ¾" and ½" solid hardwood flooring products for nail down or glue down installation. Each Maxwell floor can be custom sanded and finished to meet your individual style. Let us make your house a home with the beauty and warmth of a solid floor.
Quality is our number one goal at Maxwell Hardwood Flooring. Lumber used in our facility is carefully pre-dried in a climate-controlled system, and then kiln dried to exact standards of moisture content needed to assure lasting quality. Boards are then carefully milled to create ready-to-finish, ¾" or ½" thick flooring strips in widths of 2 ¼", 3 ¼", 1 ½" and 4" and 5" plank all with precise tongue and groove configuration for easy installation. All boards are then graded according to the natural characteristics of their appearance and all Maxwell Hardwood Flooring is produced and graded according to NOFMA (The Wood Flooring Manufacturer's Association) Certified Grade Standards.
In every case, Maxwell Hardwood Flooring will meet the most demanding requirements of the professional installer. And, it is properly packaged to make all handling and installation easier. Shrink-wrapped packages protect each pallet of flooring from atmospheric moisture and dust.
Grades
Appearance alone will determine the grade of flooring since the strength of hardwood is achieved through interlocking tongues and grooves and is
uniformly strong regardless of grade. Boards are individually graded according to the natural characteristics of their appearance.
Grades are determined by clarity, grain appearance, knots, dark stains, character marks and other features that might have been present
in the tree. All Maxwell Hardwood Flooring is produced and graded according to the Certified Grade Standards of NOFMA
(The Wood Flooring Manufacturer's Association).

Janka Scale
The Janka hardness test measures the force required to embed a .444 inch steel ball to half its diameter into the wood. It is one of the known ways to test the ability and wear of hardwood flooring. The higher the number, the harder the species of wood.
