Here, you’ll find a practical overview of the materials, construction methods, and standards that ensure your squash court meets the demands of both players and facility owners. Whether you are designing a new facility or considering an upgrade, this guide provides the key information needed to specify and maintain a wood floor that delivers on safety, stability, and longevity.

Sub-construction: The foundation for your squash court

Sub-construction refers to the underlying structure that supports the playing surface of a squash court. The sub-construction of a squash floor plays a critical role in the overall performance and safety of the court. A well-constructed sub-floor and sub-structure provide a stable foundation for the playing surface, ensuring that the court remains level and does not warp or buckle over time. They also help to absorb shock and reduce the impact on players' joints, helping to prevent injuries.

At Junckers you can choose between a wide variety of sub-constructions that will fit any need you might have.

Key Performance Factors for Squash Court Flooring

Grip and Player Safety

The intense pace and quick directional changes in squash demand a surface with optimal grip. Junckers’ Beech SylvaSquash floors are engineered with a slightly roughened, unsealed surface that delivers dependable slip resistance—helping prevent falls and supporting fast, agile movements. This approach to wood flooring for squash ensures safe play at all skill levels, from amateur to professional.

Shock Absorption and Ball Response

Consistent shock absorption and precise ball response are essential for competitive squash. Junckers floors are manufactured from 22 mm solid hardwood and built to meet EN 14904 requirements for shock absorption and resilience. Athletes benefit from a surface that reduces fatigue and injury risk, while maintaining excellent ball bounce for fair and predictable play.

Durability for Demanding Environments

Squash courts face constant wear from heavy use and rapid movement. Junckers wood flooring for squash features solid Beech, processed using a unique press-drying technique that improves dimensional stability and resistance to humidity changes. The robust 22 mm construction allows for multiple sanding cycles over the floor’s lifespan, making it a cost-effective solution for facilities seeking long-term performance.
