Comparing Maple and Beech: Which Wood Is Right for Your Squash Court

- Maple: Known for its dense grain, maple offers a slightly firmer surface and bright, classic appearance. Its high compressive strength supports intensive sports use and is widely favored for its predictable ball bounce and grip.
- Beech: Junckers’ SylvaSquash Beech is specifically engineered for squash, with a slightly roughened, unsealed surface to enhance player safety and stability. Beech’s unique press-drying process ensures dimensional stability and optimal performance, even in fluctuating humidity.
- Decision factors: Consider usage intensity, aesthetic preference, and facility maintenance protocols when selecting between maple and beech. For facilities prioritizing a traditional look with proven shock absorption, maple is an excellent choice.
