WHY REBOUND

The Squash wall surface

Squash is a game played in 135 nations with over 47,000 courts worldwide. The large number of players and vastly improved playing standards mean that Squash courts have to cope with unprecedented pressure from the volume and intensity of play. Nothing is under greater stress than the playing surface itself -it must be tough, accurate and lasting. An unwise choice of material will inevitably result in surface damage, with courts out of commission, lost revenue and costly repairs.

The first choice every contractor has to make is the type of playing surface. What are the advantages of plaster over panel systems? 

• True and consistent rebound of the ball
• Uniform appearance
• Acoustic experience of the game
• Water and dampness resistance
• Fire protection and damage resistance
• Straight forward installation 

Rebound Squash wall surface

Rebound is the result of years of research and development in glass-reinforced cement technology (GRC). In the early seventies Rebound pioneered the use of GRC in Squash courts in Lancashire. Since then it has been applied in courts throughout the world. The glass-reinforcement gives Rebound its unique qualities, namely:
 

• Rebound has an impact resistance up to six times greater than plaster-based wall coatings 
• Rebound cement based plaster, unlike gypsum based plaster, has a tensile strength equal to its compressive strength
• Rebound is outstandingly durable
• Rebound environmental benefits--long life, low energy, low replacement, low maintenance

Rebound has many environmental and maintenance benefits thanks to its durability. By choosing Rebound, you are sure to make the right decision. Here are some other characteristics of Rebound which make it a surface uniquely suitable for a Squash wall:
 

• Rebound is applied as a monolithic system which eliminates the risk of delaminating between coats
• Rebound is not affected by humidity or condensation, making it ideal for use in basement or subterranean situation
• Rebound is naturally white and does not require painting
• Rebound stands up to the most punishing treatment, and it provides an accurate playing surface requiring minimal attention.
• Rebound has been approved by WSF
