If you’re planning to build a squash court for your school, sports club, or academy, one thing is clear: not all squash courts are the same. The right court enhances player performance, reduces injuries, and ensures long-term durability. A poorly built court, however, can limit training potential and increase maintenance costs.
At Sunflex Sports Infrastructure, we specialize in building squash courts that meet World Squash Federation (WSF) standards while tailoring them to your specific needs in India. This guide will walk you through the key factors to consider before finalizing your squash court project.
Standard Squash Court Dimensions
A squash court must follow WSF-approved dimensions.
- Lines, service boxes, and the tin must be accurately marked to ensure fair play.
- With Sunflex, you get courts built to global specifications, making your investment competition-ready.
Squash Court Flooring: Safety + Performance
Flooring is the most critical factor in squash, it directly impacts player safety, ball visibility, and game speed.
- The best choice: hardwood floors, especially maple. Maple is not only durable and resilient but also has a light natural shade that enhances visibility of the black squash ball against the surface. This makes it easier for players to track the ball at high speed.
- Benefits: slip-resistance, shock absorption, reduced joint strain, and long lifespan.
- Sunflex provides FIBA/WSF-compliant maple squash floors designed for both performance and safety, ensuring players train in a court that feels professional and world-class.
Squash Court Walls: True Rebound is Key
- The walls of a squash court are just as important as the floor. A high-quality wall ensures a true rebound, meaning the ball bounces back predictably every time. This consistency is crucial for fair play and professional-level training.
- At Sunflex, we use specialized hard plaster imported from the UK, designed specifically for squash courts. Unlike ordinary wall finishes, this plaster resists chipping, maintains smoothness, and guarantees accurate rebounds for years.
This ensures that every rally feels like it’s being played on an international-standard squash court.
Lighting & Visibility in Squash Courts
Many people don’t realize that lighting affects the speed of the game. If the court is poorly lit, players lose track of the ball’s bounce, leading to missed shots and safety risks.
At Sunflex, we guide schools, clubs, and developers to install squash-specific LED lighting systems that make the black ball easier to follow, ensuring both visibility and energy efficiency.
Why the Right Court Makes All the Difference
For schools, clubs, or private academies, building a squash court isn’t just about putting four walls together, it’s about creating a space that develops athletes safely and professionally.
Did you know? Even details like maple flooring for ball visibility or UK-imported hard plaster for true rebounds can dramatically change the playing experience.
That’s where Sunflex comes in. With global-standard materials and turnkey expertise, we don’t just build courts, we build arenas where talent grows.
