Squash Courts
Tempered glass walls and sprung maple floors built to World Squash standards.
Precision spaces for a consistent squash experience
Squash demands coordinated dimensions, walls, flooring, lighting and ventilation within an enclosed space. Clear height, existing structure and moisture conditions should be reviewed before selecting walls, timber flooring and door or glass details.
Across the UAE, exposure, drainage, operating hours and access constraints can differ substantially between sites. We review these conditions alongside the intended users and lifecycle needs, so the specification is appropriate to the location rather than a copied material list.
Scope of work
- World Squash-standard dimensions
- Tempered glass or specialist walls
- Sprung maple flooring
- Glare-free lighting and ventilation
The right solution, not one solution for everyone
Specialist wall systems
Uniform, stable surfaces with treated joints and a system suited to use.
Glass wall systems
Engineered glass and fittings with coordinated contact zones, visibility and access.
Existing court refurbishment
Assess walls, flooring, glass and lighting to address causes of defects before refinishing.
Engineering details that make the difference
Dimensions & enclosure
Check area, clear height and services that could interfere with play.
Timber flooring
Resilient build-up, expansion details and finishes suited to moisture and use.
Lighting & ventilation
Consistent visibility and suitable airflow without direct glare sources.
From site assessment to handover and operation
- 01
Assess the site and brief
Review dimensions, access, ground conditions and services, then discuss intended use and operational priorities to define a realistic scope.
- 02
Design and select the system
Coordinate layout, levels, surfaces, equipment, lighting and drainage. Explain technical options before approving materials and quantities.
- 03
Prepare the site and base
Protect existing areas and organise access, then undertake base preparation, civil works and drainage to the approved drawings.
- 04
Install systems and equipment
Follow the specified application sequence and manufacturer guidance, checking site conditions and interfaces between surfaces, equipment and services.
- 05
Inspect and close observations
Review surfaces, junctions, fixings, markings and equipment operation. Record and resolve observations before acceptance.
- 06
Handover and plan care
Provide agreed documentation and operating, cleaning and maintenance guidance. Clarify use limits, warranty terms and follow-up arrangements in the contract.
What do we review before handover?
Material conformity
Review system and material data against approved project specifications and check storage conditions before application.
Installation consistency
Monitor base readiness, layer uniformity, seams and edges. Resolve defects before covering them with subsequent layers.
User safety
Inspect fixings, edges, transitions and safety zones, and check equipment within its specified operating limits.
Clear documentation
Provide agreed care instructions, technical information and warranties. Independent certificates or testing are included when specified in the scope.
Protect your facility’s value after installation
Use timber-compatible dry cleaning, monitor moisture and inspect glass, fixings and walls.
Care frequency depends on use intensity, exposure and manufacturer instructions. Keep a record of inspections and repairs, use compatible cleaning methods and restrict access to damaged areas until assessed. Corrective work should address the cause, not only the visible defect.
Maintenance & renovationWhat determines the scope and cost?
Area and site condition
Cost is not determined by surface area alone. Removal, grading, base strengthening and site access can change the construction scope.
System and equipment level
Materials and quantities depend on surfacing, equipment, fencing, lighting, drainage and specified performance requirements.
Operations and testing
Phased work at a live venue, independent testing and additional documentation requirements affect the programme and scope.

Answers before you start your project
Can any enclosed room become a squash court?
No. Dimensions, clear height, structure, ventilation and access must be checked before approving a layout or equipment.
How is a quotation prepared?
Start with location, intended use, photographs or drawings, then determine whether a site visit is needed. The proposal sets out works, materials, quantities, exclusions and a proposed programme for a clear comparison.
How long does installation take?
Duration is determined after reviewing the site, system and quantities. Civil works, procurement, application conditions and curing periods affect the schedule. The proposal sets out a programme rather than a fixed duration for every project.
Does the service include design and equipment?
Design, civil works, surfacing, equipment and lighting can be coordinated within one project. Included and excluded items are explicitly defined in the proposal and contract.
Does every system certify the completed facility?
Material or system certification does not automatically certify the installed facility. If formal approval is required, the standard, tests and assessment body are defined in the agreed scope.
What warranty and aftercare are available?
Terms depend on materials, system type and use conditions. Warranty duration, coverage, exclusions and care obligations are documented in the contract; a suitable maintenance programme can also be agreed.
Can work take place without closing the entire venue?
Phased or zoned work is assessed where safety, access and application requirements allow it. Closure periods and protected areas are agreed before work starts.
