Materials used in squash courts are sensitive and excellent air conditioning is critical. This includes not only maintaining the proper temperature, but the ideal humidity and air circulation as well to assure the longevity of the squash court. Allow expansion joints in floors and walls for the expansion and contraction of materials. It is aesthetically less pleasing than the other two options, but it offers the lightest weight and is the least expensive choice. BRB worked with the New York Knicks to develop their floor system.
Lighting is a key element for players and viewers alike.
It should offer a low glare, protected lens and recessed fluorescent fixtures. BRB also worked with one glass manufacturer to help develop clear glass brackets for the back wall, instead of the traditional black fastener. A squash ball is black, so the black fastener is distracting to the players and viewers. The glass-backed walls provide a viewing gallery for as many people as possible to observe the game with unrestricted views of the action on the court. This also makes what was traditionally a hermetically sealed room into a more pleasant space for players to play the game, said Greer, who recommends that clubs allow 200 lbs.
