Synthetic Floor
While wooden floors are the traditional choice for professional squash courts, synthetic flooring has become increasingly popular in sports complexes, schools, and recreational clubs. Synthetic squash floors are made using PVC, polyurethane (PU), or rubber-based surfaces designed to replicate the performance of wood while offering lower maintenance and higher durability.
They provide good shock absorption, grip, and consistent ball bounce, making them suitable for training, recreational play, and multi-purpose sports halls.
