Phase One
Padel Surfaces
Specifically designed to meet the requirements of padel, the recyclable artificial turf boasts optimal functional properties that allow athletes to perform at their peak.
- UV Protection for long lasting fibre colour stability
- 10 mm filament height for optimal playing conditions
- Game speed can be adjusted individually by sand infill quantity
- Low maintenance artificial turf for minimal upkeep
- Recyclable thanks to a sustainable PU backing
Ground preparation, survey & soil testing:
Assess slope and topography for drainage glow.
Concrete Ring Beam (Perimeter Beam):
This structure provides larger anchors and serves as the foundation for fencing and walls, as the client frame is steel and will require more load bearing.
Dimensions:
300mm wide x 500mm deep
Reinforcement:
4 longitudinal rebars + stirrups @ 200mm c/c
Concrete Grade:
C25/30 minimum
Reinforced Concrete Slab Thickness:
150mm
Reinforcement:
Welded mesh or steel bars
Finish:
Power floated or brushed to provide grip
Sub Base Construction:
Type E1 Lakfold padel base to reduce impact and improve energy absorption
Surface Finish:
Professional turf performance installed over sub surface.

Phase two
Glass & Framework
Pillar and popup style padel tennis courts, 10mm toughened (tempered) glass is commonly used as the rear and side enclosures. Below are the technical specifications, standards, and installation considerations for this type of glass in padel court applications.
Standard Panel Sizes
Back Wall Panels:
- 3000 mm x 2000 mm (common)
- Some systems use 3000 mm x 1000 mm in pairs
Glass thickness:
- 12 mm
Large panels with minimal framing require greater thickness (12 mm) for stability and wind resistance.
Side Wall Panels:
- Typically 2000 mm x 2000 mm
Side Wall Panels:
- Typically 2000 mm x 2000 mm
Glass Type & Properties
Type:
- Thermally toughened safety glass (aka tempered glass)
Impact Resistance:
- 5–7x stronger than standard float glass
Breakage Mode:
- Shatters into blunt granules for safety
Complies with:
- EN 12150-1 (EU standard for toughened glass)
- UNE-EN 15163
- FIP regulations for panoramic court design
Edge Processing & Drillings
Edges:
- Machine–polished (flat or arrissed)
Spacer Gaskets:
- EPDM or neoprene inserts to cushion between metal and glass
Drillings:
- Ø14 mm to Ø18 mm holes (quantity varies by frame)
- Clean countersunk holes for bolt-through bracket systems
Installation System
No vertical pillars in the corners—glass panels are joined with special connectors or adhesives, and supported by:
- Lower aluminium or steel U-profile channels
- Minimalist corner joining systems
Mounting:
- Fixings from the base or occasionally top–framed with stabilising bars
Structural &
Environmental Considerations
Must withstand:
- Ball impact (up to 130 km/h)
- Wind loads per local building codes
- Thermal expansion
Wind Load Tests:
- Usually rated for up to 0.8-1.0 kN/m² depending on fixings and installation height
- Easy to clean with standard glass cleaner
- Resistant to UV, water, dirt, and chemicals
Can include:
- Anti-scratch coatings
- Anti-glare or anti-reflective films
- Low-iron options (extra clear)
Acoustic Properties
12 mm toughened glass offers some noise containment but does not
absorb sound like acoustic glazing. It reflects noise effectively.
| Panel Size | Thickness | Weight (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 3000 × 2000 mm | 12 mm | ~180 kg |
| 2000 × 2000 mm | 12 mm | ~120 kg |
Panels are delivered in steel A-frame stillages, often with vacuum lift needed for on-site handling.
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Glass Thickness | 12mm |
| Panel Sizes | Up to 3000 x 2000 mm |
| Standards | EN 12150-1, FIP compliant |
| Mounting Style | Frameless/minimally framed |
| Installation | Base channel + bracket + corner join |
| Edge Finish | Polished (safe to touch) |
| Typical Use | Premium/viewer-facing courts |
Here's a full breakdown for 12 mm toughened glass, the industry standard for panoramic padel courts:
Standard Panel Sizes
Back Wall Panels:
- 3000 mm x 2000 mm (common)
- Some systems use 3000 mm x 1000 mm in pairs
Side Wall Panels:
- Typically 2000 mm x 2000 mm
- Glass thickness: 12 mm
- Panel weight: Approx. 30 kg/m², so a 3 × 2 m panel weighs ~180 kg
Large panels with minimal framing require greater thickness (12 mm) for stability and wind resistance.
