I'm considering a prefinished "natural character" Maple floor (uv aluminum oxide).

The salesman said I don't need to worry about it yellowing over time but I wanted to ask you folks.

Yes, it will discolor over time.

I have prefinished maple flooring in my living room with an area rug on it. I also have one window that is single pane without low-e. The sun has shined in (direct light over about 12 years) and discolored the floor around the area rug. Now, I can’t move the rug or it will show the “discoloration”.

I’d be careful if there is direct sunlight.

    I'm accustomed to discoloration but I'm used to it either darkening (like cherry) or blonding (like walnut) I'm specifically wondering if it gets yellow.

    Mine darkened, but it probably maters which brand of stain is used.
