The
4'0" x 8'0" tongue and groove panels are built
around a .050" thick laminate on both sides of the
particle board core - this is the thickest laminate available
for court use. The sandwich-type construction gives the
panel the structural stability needed for play and is
stronger and more durable than other systems. The playing
surface of the panel is a white velvet finish used essentially
for aesthetics and proper ball reaction. The panels are
machined to our exact specifications with tolerances of
±1/32".
The front wall panel is 1-1/8" thick; the side
and rear wall panels are 7/8" thick; and the ceiling
panel is 5/8" thick. The tongue and groove panels
are faced with a plastic laminate that resists damage
during play. Racquet and ball marks can be easily wiped
clean with a household detergent.
The
panels are glued and screwed into place directly to
the structural "C" studs that allow the walls
and ceilings to be totally self-supporting. Typical
court framing consists of 18 or 16 gauge galvanized
steel with varying sizes of 4" to 6" depending
on the location and design of courts.
A hardwood maple floor system is recommended using
either a sleeper or plywood system. The standard court
floor system utilizes 25/32" thick maple on top
of a resilient padded subfloor. The floors are seal,
finished, and painted with the red racquetball floor
game lines.
The Court Company's glass system meets the highest
manufacturing standards and complies with all safety
and performance criteria. The glass walls and windows
can be fabricated to just about any size for use throughout
the court and comes complete with all flush hardware
and permanently etched game lines.
By including other accessories such as wood or glass
doors, fluorescent or metal halide light fixtures, storage
boxes, and wallyball nets The Court Company can provide
a complete turnkey racquetball court guaranteed to last
for years to come.
