If you have in mind the construction of a padel court or you are curious about the types of floors you can have this article will be of great help.

Before mentioning them, it is important that you know that they must be flat and uniform, so that the padel ball can bounce without problems and it must also prevent water from getting into the place. As for its colour, it must be green, blue or earthy brown according to the regulations, if you want your court to be durable, you must ensure that you have good materials and that the people who install it do it in a proper way, not leaving any kind of inclinations on the floor. Other elements must be taken into considertion, such as the enclosure structure, which is normally made of galvanised steel, which usually consists of a zinc coat on top of an iron coat. This antioxidant treatment is highly recommended to avoid a possible oxidation.

The ideal maintenance reuired for the court, will vary according to the material used on the floor. The structure can be made of metal, wood, tempered glass, glass or crystal among other materials. The lighting system has been modified, replacing old halide bulbs with LED lighting.

It is advisable to water the courts in hot months. Another thing to take into consideration when playing sport either Tennis or Paddle, is the use of a racket or shovel and shoes suitable for playing on artificial grass, Cement, Concrete and other surfaces such as:

• Synthetic Resin: this type of floor is used due to the cushioning it provides to the players and the ball, allowing a better development of the game because the ball bounces easily and thus the game progresses smoothly. It is a material of excellent quality and players indicate that they suffer fewer injuries. It is for this reason that is widely used in tournaments.

• Artificial grass : It requires a more thorough maintenance than other soils and as a result it could be more expensive. However it tends to last longer in time. The right way to install this artificial grass is floating on top of a stable and fixed pavement, also to finish you must place the filling and silica sand containing 0.1 and 0.8 mm thick. It is practical for players to move without falling and if for some reason a fall occurs, it won't result in injury.

• Porous concrete: the porosity provided by this material allows better drainage, which is ideal to avoid the appearance of any fungus, also it does not have the sand that is usually found in concrete. It contains a combination of sand, gravel and granulometric stones, the concrete slab is used for beginners in paddle tennis, as it allows players to perform more slowly.

• Cement: It represents a higher level of risk in terms of injuries. In addition, players indicate a higher physical fatigue, so its use is not frequent due to its lack of cushioning that creates greater difficulty for movement while playinn.
