Standard WSF singles court dimensions are 9.75 m long x 6.4 m wide x 5.64 m high; doubles court is 13.72 m x 7.62 m. ChampCourts delivers turnkey from Rs 15 lakh (school-grade singles) to Rs 40 lakh (PSA-spec singles with full glass back wall and broadcast lighting).

The WSF court spec is exacting: dimensional tolerances to the millimetre, smooth plaster walls without any joint visibility, professional-grade hardwood floor and a 12-15 mm tempered glass back wall that allows spectator viewing without affecting play acoustics. Get any of these wrong and the court does not play correctly - serious players notice within the first few rallies and stop booking. ChampCourts has built 14+ squash courts to date, primarily for the BCG \/ RCGC-tier private club segment and a growing residential premium-amenity segment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe total build is a mini-construction project. We coordinate brick wall plumbing to dimensional spec, plaster application with sanded smooth finish (no joint visible), maple sprung floor install, tempered glass procurement and frame fabrication, LED lighting design with anti-glare diffusion, HVAC ducting for active humidity control, and final WSF-spec line-marking. Construction takes 45-65 site days. Below Rs 18 lakh total project cost, we typically counsel customers that squash is not viable as a quality build - the dimensional and finish demands cannot be met without proper investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingles dimensions (WSF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.75 x 6.4 m x 5.64 m h, front wall 4.57 m, tin 0.48 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDoubles dimensions (WSF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.72 x 7.62 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaple T\u0026amp;G 19-22 mm on EPDM-sprung plywood substrate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloor finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-5 coats matt PU sport lacquer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront + side walls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlaster on brick, 18 mm thick gypsum-cement finish, white smooth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack wall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTempered glass 12 mm (residential) \/ 15 mm (PSA), full panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium \/ wood band 0.48 m above floor on front wall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLighting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED 600-1000 lux, recessed, anti-glare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVentilation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHVAC, 12-15 air changes\/hr, 50-60% RH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eService life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20-30 yrs (floor);

Build cost for doubles is roughly 1.6-1.8x singles given the larger floor, walls and HVAC envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDoor, viewing gallery and acoustics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSquash courts have a single point of entry typically as a frameless glass door integrated into the glass back wall - allows visual continuity for spectators and maintains the smooth back-wall plane during play. Above the back wall, a viewing gallery can be raked back 2-4 m to accommodate 20-40 spectators for member-tournaments. Acoustics: hard plaster + maple + glass creates a live acoustic environment that is part of the sport's character; reverb time is acceptable up to ~1.5 seconds for play, though tournament broadcasts often use directional microphones to control echo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy ChampCourts for squash\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWSF-spec dimensional precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e Measured and verified at multiple build stages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMFMA-certified maple sprung floor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Same quality as our hardwood basketball.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTempered glass back wall:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 mm residential, 15 mm tournament-grade, full panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlaster smooth finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e No visible joints, no defects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHVAC + ventilation engineering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Active humidity control for coastal venues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5-year warranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePSA-tournament-spec build option:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broadcast lighting and full glass for premium venues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSingles or doubles court?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingles (WSF standard) is the right pick 95% of the time.
