Unique design to raise profile of squash

GLASS sports floor manufacturer, ASB GlassFloor, has partnered with entrepreneur Yossi Fixman to develop smart outdoor squash courts to increase the visibility of the sport.

Launching his company TPoint, Fixman brought ASB onboard to develop a flexible, scalable and modular construction system that can be quickly implemented anywhere in the world.

The first project launched in Tel Aviv. Meeting the standards of the World Squash Federation, the development comprises four fully glazed and roofed courts and is supported by a steel structure developed by ASB GlassFloor, featuring LED illuminated game lines. The easy-to-clean and robust alternative allows players to play matches safely with its grip and elasticity. The LED lines also match the lines on the side walls.

“The revolutionary thing about TPoint is the court determines the building and not the other way around. This will help make the sport of squash much more visible. It’s quite fascinating that investors can now devote 100 per cent of their capital in player-relevant hardware and don’t have to spend 80 per cent of the total project on infrastructure and the creation of a partitioning building,” says Christof Babinsky, managing director of ASB GlassFloor.

The outdoor sports centre can be used around the clock via an electronic access system to help to increase the popularity of the sport. People meet at the courts before and after the games creating a social hub.

Plans are already underway for TPoint squash courts at other international locations.
