About Sports Interiors
In 1992, the owners of an athletic club in the north suburbs of Chicago concluded their indoor tennis courts were not bright enough and the issue was with the open-web truss ceiling that was sucking up all the light. The ownership recognized the need to devise a reflective and durable white liner material that could be applied to a ceiling above their indoor tennis courts. The liner material would have to reflect indirect light back onto the playing area, cover unwanted pipes/beams, and overall deliver an aesthetically appealing environment for indoor tennis.
After testing out countless types of material, there was one in particular that delivered everything the athletic club owners were looking for. After applying the Liner material to their own facility, the athletic club owners began receiving a lot of interest about their new white liner material from tennis clubs around the Midwest. From there, Sports Interiors began selling and installing its Liner System on the ceilings and walls of indoor tennis facilities across the country. In addition, we can add insulation behind the Liner System for increased HVAC savings and year-round comfort. With the ability to use its own indoor tennis courts to test different lighting systems in conjunction with our Liner System, Sports Interiors leveraged its relationship with one of the top LED manufacturers to develop an indirect lighting system that would dramatically increase light levels and quality of light while reducing energy and maintenance costs.
Today, through implementations of our LED Lighting and Liner Systems, we aim to deliver the best indoor tennis playing experience. We have hundreds of implementations of our Systems where we handle all the legwork to ensure an efficient installation process with an emphasis on minimizing disruption to facility operations.
