APPEARANCE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
The sycamore is classified as medium-weight, hard, elastic and tough. It shrinks only lightly and is otherwise stable. Its low durability means that it is unsuitable for use outdoors.
Maple is used for applications requiring particularly good rigidity due to its higher density (0,62 g/cm³)and better strength properties.
The surface of maple wood can be cleaned easily due to its fine pore structure. Compared to beech wood, maple is less susceptible to water penetration. It is therefore often used for tables in restaurants and pubs.
