Designed
for heavy use, The Court Company's squash panel system
is composed of materials that are prefabricated, prefinished,
and pre-cut in order to provide you with a cost-efficient,
professional-playing court tested and approved by the
World Squash Federation (WSF).
The Fiberesin panel is a solid, rock-hard sheet of
materials that meets the rigid specifications and requirements
demanded for sports courts. The panels are composed
of a high density particleboard core and multiple layers
of thermalset resin impregnated sheets. With the aid
of controlled heat and high pressure, the laminate and
board resins form a single sheet that is solid from
face to face. The standard playing surface of the panel
is a white finish and can be easily wiped clean with
a household detergent.
The
front wall panel for a WSF certified squash court is
1-7/16" thick and the side wall panels are 1-1/8"
thick. Typical squash courts stop the panels at the
playing lines at the front and side walls, but if you
want the panels to extend up to the ceiling or if you
want panels at the ceiling, that is not a problem.
The panels are attached with a concealed H spline and
screw applied to the vertical framing members. Construction
glue and shims are used between the panels and framing
members to provide a positive yet flexible bond.
The
most popular material used for framing the squash courts
are 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.
We offer a WSF certified hardwood maple floor system
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
typically not sealed nor finished but are painted with
the red squash floor game lines by the local floor installer.
The Court Company's glass system meets the highest
manufacturing standards and complies with all safety
and performance criteria as well as the requirements
of the WSF. A standard squash glass rear wall is 7'0"
high, but we can fabricate the glass walls and windows
to just about any size for use throughout the court.
The glass system comes complete with all flush hardware
and permanently etched game lines.
By including other accessories such as wood or glass
doors (in courts without a glass rear wall), fluorescent
or metal halide light fixtures, tell tales, and game
lines The Court Company can provide a complete turnkey
squash court guaranteed to last for years to come.
