Squash Court Floors
Squash court floors are typically made from high-quality hardwoods such as, beech, oak, or ash. Unlike standard sports floors, the surface of squash floors is specifically designed to prevent the 'aquaplaning' effect, which can cause slips due to sweat. To achieve this, these floors are not coated with a glossy finish; instead, they are treated to maintain the wood's natural porosity, providing grip while protecting against moisture.
It is highly recommended to install floors in accordance with EN 14904 standards, as those that do not comply can lead to increased wear and tear on the body.
Standard Court Lighting
An effective squash court lighting arrangement enhances the overall playing experience by providing clarity and minimizing eye strain. Following these guidelines guarantees a well-balanced, well-lit, and consistent lighting environment, which in turn enables a smooth game for both players and spectators. The level of illumination measured 1000mm above the finished floor shall be: Minimum standard 300 lux, recommended standard 500 lux. ​
Tin
The tin is designed to produce a distinctive sound when struck by the ball, ensuring clear identification of errors during play. It is height adjustable, allowing it to be set at the standard height of 480 mm from the finished floor level, or lowered to 430 mm, depending on specific game or tournament requirements.
