Unopark Canadian Maple Nature represents a premium collection celebrating the natural beauty of North American hardwood. Bauwerk's commitment to rigorous wood selection and refined surface treatments delivers a two-layer parquet system that satisfies both aesthetic discernment and practical durability requirements. Canadian maple presents a naturally calm, light beige character that harmonizes seamlessly with contemporary interiors, Scandinavian minimalism, and refined traditional designs. The dual-layer construction—four millimetres of authentic Canadian maple veneer bonded to a European spruce base—ensures dimensional stability and longevity, resisting the daily stresses of modern living spaces without compromise.

The wood's personality emerges through subtle natural variation classified as sort 1–5 lively—characterized by nuanced tonal shifts and organic figure that avoid uniformity without becoming visually chaotic. The surface receives a matt lacquer finish, a protective layer that preserves the wood's authentic tactile and visual character while delivering superior resistance to moisture, staining, and mechanical wear. This matte coating avoids plastic-like glossiness, creating an understated elegance suited to contemporary homes and professional environments. The absence of bevelling creates a seamless visual plane, essential for open-plan spaces and rooms where continuity matters aesthetically and functionally.

The dimensions of 470 x 70 x 11 millimetres position this as a medium-width strip format, balancing proportion and presence in diverse room scales. The four-millimetre wear layer provides substantial reserve for light sanding should future restoration become necessary. The L+R tongue configuration permits flexible laying patterns—shipdeck, English bond, ladder pattern, or herringbone—enabling interior designers to craft visually distinct floor compositions. Total thickness of 11 millimetres combines structural integrity with compatibility across standard subfloor systems, ensuring problem-free installation and long-term dimensional integrity.

Underfloor heating compatibility is rated at 100 per cent—a decisive advantage for contemporary homes with efficient climate control systems. The two-layer construction, combined with stable finish chemistry, responds predictably to thermal cycles without warping, cupping, or separating. Durability is assured by the substantial wear layer and industrial-grade lacquer system, designed to endure years of daily use in living spaces, offices with moderate traffic, and bedrooms. Maintenance remains straightforward: regular light cleaning and dedicated lacquered-parquet care products suffice to preserve the floor's appearance indefinitely. This floor suits modern residences, professional interiors, family homes prioritizing both warmth and resilience, and any space where authentic wood character and practical performance must coexist.

The 1–5 lively sort embraces natural wood variation—subtle tonal gradations and organic figuring that reflect the tree's growth without excessive visual drama. This selection speaks to interiors celebrating organic authenticity: warm Scandinavian minimalism, Mediterranean simplicity, farmhouse-modern aesthetics, and transitional designs that value character over uniformity. Those seeking absolute visual consistency will find restrictive sorts elsewhere within Bauwerk's portfolio; those drawn to wood's honest imperfection and living presence will recognise the 1–5 lively option as the genuine, confident choice.

Yes, Unopark Canadian Maple Nature is 100% compatible with underfloor heating. The 11 mm total thickness and 4 mm wear layer ensure optimal thermal stability and uniform heat distribution without the risk of warping. We recommend a maximum surface temperature of 27°C for long-term durability.

The '15 lively' grade showcases pronounced natural color and texture variations inherent to Canadian maple, creating a dynamic, authentic appearance. This is not a defect but a quality characteristic that celebrates the wood's genuine character. This grading is ideal for interiors that value natural wood authenticity and visual depth.

The matte lacquered finish requires regular vacuuming and occasional damp-mopping with distilled water only. Avoid oil-based cleaners and excess moisture, which can dull the finish and compromise durability. For minor scratches, use specialized care products for lacquered parquet. Maintain room humidity between 40-60% to prevent excessive wood expansion or contraction.

Unopark's L+R strip format accommodates four laying patterns: Shipdeck, English Bonded, Ladder pattern, and Herringbone. The 470 mm length is ideal for Herringbone and Shipdeck arrangements, which create sophisticated visual effects. Shipdeck delivers a classic, airy look, while Herringbone is recommended for high-traffic areas due to uniform force distribution. Choice depends on desired interior style and room dimensions.

Canadian Maple Nature's light tone and lively color variation suit Scandinavian, contemporary minimalist, and elegant classical styles beautifully. The matte lacquer finish conveys lightness and subtlety, ideal for living rooms, offices, and home workspaces. In bedrooms, it creates a warm, inviting atmosphere without heaviness. It adapts less well to heavy industrial or traditional rustic designs, which benefit from darker, more textured woods.

The 4 mm wear layer of solid Canadian maple and matte lacquer finish give Unopark excellent resistance to daily heavy traffic. The two-layer construction with European spruce backing ensures long-term thermal and mechanical stability, preventing deformations. For maximum durability, use entrance mats and maintain proper room humidity. With proper care, the parquet reliably performs for 20-30 years.
