Since 1897, the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association (MFMA) has served as the leading authority on hard maple sports flooring. Comprising top-tier member flooring mills, allied manufacturers, skilled sports flooring contractors, distributors and affiliates, the MFMA plays a vital role in setting the standard for quality, performance and sustainability in the industry.
Recognized as the trusted source for technical expertise, the MFMA publishes grading standards, guide specifications and floor care recommendations that architects, facility managers and contractors rely on when selecting and maintaining maple sports floors and systems. The MFMA’s PUR (Performance and Uniformity Rating) standards — covering shock absorption, ball bounce, surface friction and more — are the industry benchmark for evaluating sports surface performance.
Why does this matter? Because maple is more than just a beautiful wood — it’s the performance backbone of professional and college basketball courts, school gyms and community recreation centers throughout the world. Durable, flexible and environmentally responsible, maple flooring offers unmatched longevity and athletic benefits.
MFMA members are also committed to responsible forest management and sustainable manufacturing, ensuring that today’s sports floors contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.
Whether you’re specifying a new floor or maintaining a decades-old court, the MFMA is your go-to resource for best practices, product standards and support.
