Padel Courts vs. Moisture: How to Cope with this Issue in terms of Materials and Maintenance
The winter months are definitely the most delicate ones for padel courts, especially outdoor ones that will inevitably be more exposed to rain, cold and, more generally, humidity. Although, as we will see, in some countries, such phenomena can also characterize the summer season.
Let's start by saying that, unfortunately, humidity has repercussions, albeit different ones, on all three major components of the padel court: the structure, the glass, and the turf.
Ready to find out more in detail? Let's get started.
The Consequences of Moisture on the Structure of Padel Courts Index
In terms of maintenance, the structure of padel courts is the part that suffers the most from moisture: whether in tropical areas or in areas that are quite rainy, moisture can cause the metal structure and fences to rust leading inevitably to aesthetic and especially structural damage.
NXPadel's Fiberglass padel courts are designed to be totally immune to this issue. In fact, Fiberglass is the only material in this industry that is chemically stainless without requiring galvanization of any kind. This allows our courts to be installed in any location while keeping the aesthetics intact and without the need for maintenance work.
The Consequences of Moisture on the Glass of Padel CourtsIndex
The above-mentioned phenomenon of rust related to the structure also has repercussions on the glass of padel courts as it is easy to understand that in case of rusted and damaged fasteners or components, one can more easily go towards glass breakage as well.
In addition, moisture on glass also has a significant impact on playability as the ball will tend to bounce less.
ComfortGlass is the first padel “glass” that, thanks to its special acrylic composition, is both totally indestructible but also less prone to temperature changes and moisture buildup, ensuring an ideal and, above all, safe playing experience.
The Consequences of Moisture on the Synthetic Turf of Padel CourtsIndex
Finally, let's turn to synthetic turf, which, especially on outdoor padel courts, can suffer quite a bit from moisture. In fact, when the drainage system of the concrete slab has not been performed as well as possible, rainwater could tend to accumulate and stagnate inside the mat, damaging it and leading to the formation of mold or moss.
A good solution in this regard is undoubtedly our ZeroS, the first sandless synthetic padel turf that, thanks to the absence of latex backing, is 100% permeable over its entire surface and dries much faster.
As we have seen, it is now more crucial than ever to make sure that the materials and technologies of one's padel courts are always state-of-the-art. This not only translates into savings in maintenance and a long-lasting padel court, but also in providing your players with a sports facility that is 100% safe and provides the best padel experience possible.
