ASB System40 SquashCourt
Squash court built of wall panels, thickness 40mm, which are anchored to the building wall.
The ASB System40 panels are generally usable for either a new court or a renovation of an existing court made of plaster or other materials which are not resistant to the impact of the squash ball. This already brings us to the challenge to manufacture a good squash wall.
When a squash ball hits a wall at high speed a mini-vacuum is generated. This vacuum arises because the part of the ball hitting the wall first immediately leaves the wall again. With the even smallest unevenness this mini vacuum causes small parts of the plaster to be sucked from the wall. The ASB System40 wall prevents this phenomenon lastingly.
The ASB Panel is fixed to the existing wall and is aligned vertically and horizontally. ASB technology helps to keep the distance between existing wall and panels. This cavity is filled with fire-dried sand, which is compressed. After this installation, the surface is without any visible joints and is covered with the ASB coating.
In its specifications the World Squash Federation (WSF) reduced the dimensions for renovated courts by 8 cm each in width and length for renovations and made these dimensions standard. These new dimensions are necessary as the System40 wall will be installed on top of an existing plaster wall, for example.
