WHAT IS AN ARTIFICIAL TURF SURFACE FOR PADEL COURTS MADE OF?

  In order to guarantee this performance, manufacturers of artificial turf for padel courts have developed specific solutions for the sport.

  There are three types of artificial surfaces for padel courts currently available: fibrillated, with straight filaments, or with texturized monofilaments.

  The latter is undoubtedly the best in terms of technical performance and aesthetic appeal.

  They are filaments made via a thermal-mechanical process – texturization – which guarantees that the filaments maintain their defined dimensional memory and their characteristic curly appearance.  The structure, grooves and ribbed parts of the filaments – with thickness ranging from 160 to 250 microns – were defined through an interesting R&D process, to guarantee the best ball bounce and optimized speed of play.The texturized filaments are also designed to encapsulate the sand inside the turf surface, to minimize wear of the fibers and balls, guaranteeing greater durability for the surface.Both the straight and texturized monofilaments are sewn onto special supports and finally attached to the propylene backing using resins or polyurethane (the preferred material thanks to its resistance and durability).

  Once this process is complete, the surfacing is found in the form of rolls ready for installation of the artificial turf on the padel court: a fast and simple operation, when carried out by qualified professionals.
