The CourtGlass-Glaverbel fin glass backwall

A finned backwall stands alone, requiring no attachment exept for at the court sidewalls and at the concrete slab below. At both these locations (sides and floor) the glass is located in an aluminum U-channel that is fixed to the substrate. A finned backwall consists of four glass panels and one door, all fabricated of ½" (12mm) tempered glass. This wall is supported by four fins, typically the same height as the glass wall and in standard heights, measuring 12" wide. The purpose of the fins is to aid in the distribution of impact on the glass wall panels into the concrete below. All CourtGlass backwalls are delivered with 36" (914 cm) wide (ADA-compliant) door and can be configured for either flat slab or depressed slab installation. All walls are delivered complete with all fittings required for.
 

            
CourtGlass-Glaverbel glass hardware:

The glass wall hardware is extruded aluminum finished with an automotive-quality white coating, eliminating any chance of discoloration with age, a common problem with plastic and nylon fittings. Aluminum is also demonstrably stronger and more structurally stable than non-metal fittings used on many competitors' walls. All doors are hung with three hinges to prevent sag and stand up to long-term use.
 

CourtGlass-Glaverbel hinges are designed to prevent interference with the exposed edges of glass and to reduce any possibility of fingers
getting trapped between the door and adjacent side glass. In addition to maximum design for use, the CourtGlass-Glaverbel hardware is also aesthetically-pleasing, using higher-strength materials in smaller size so as to maximize spectators' enjoyment of play and be as unobtrusive as possible. The CourtGlass-Glaverbel door latch uses a knob and D-ring combination to provide a positive locking function and create minimum obstruction on the playing side of the wall.

ProView vision enhancement technology


For glass side- or frontwalls, chosen as design features for some court facilities, it is necessary
to have a treatment applied to the glass such that players have an accurate view of the ball while spectators are able to enjoy watching play on the court. For this purpose CourtGlass-Glaverbel
offers the ProView "Club", an open, or reversed, dot treatment that results in a relatively opaque playing surface and a relatively clear viewing opportunity at the same time. This treatment consists of one color ceramic screen-paint, usual white, but colors available on request, that is fused into the glass during the hardening process, creating a proper play wall with surface tension and a surface that cannot be degraded by racquets, sweat, glass cleaner, etc.
 

For four-sided professional tournament glass courts, CourtGlass-Glaverbel offers ProView II, a special decal treatment incorporating a double-dot system (usual white over black) that provides optimal vision for players and spectators alike in an environment where there are no solid backgrounds to provide contrast. The ceramic decal dots are fused to the glass during the hardening process, similar to the screen-paint in ProView "Club" . This process can be supplied in several colors to suit demand. The CourtGlass-Glaverbel portable tournament glass court is designed with the minimum number of unique glass panels; this allows cost-effective maintenance of spares, an important factor in a court that is to be erected and demounted regularly.
