The Durability of Glass on Padel Courts

The safety and quality of glass is a guarantee

The use of glass is a key factor in the design and construction of padel courts. Construction parties usually choose 12mm tempered glass as the main material for the court. This glass is favored for its high safety and strength, which is 3-5 times stronger than ordinary glass. In addition, the excellent transparency of tempered glass allows spectators to easily watch the game inside the court.

Tempered glass has strong process capabilities

Tempered glass has been improved in strength and impact resistance through a heat treatment process, making it a safety glass. Its production process involves heating the glass to a high temperature and then cooling it rapidly. This process causes compressive stress on the surface of the glass, thereby enhancing its ability to withstand external impact. For this reason, tempered glass is widely used in padel courts and other places that require high-strength glass.

12mm standard thickness determines the impact force range

The thickness of the glass plays a vital role in its strength and durability. The thickness of 12mm not only provides enough strength to withstand the impact of the ball and the collision of the players, but also ensures the stability of the glass under high pressure and high stress. Although tempered glass is very strong, it still has a certain rate of self-explosion due to its material properties. Although the probability of this self-explosion is extremely low, it can still occur under extreme conditions.

The stability of the foundation is related to the glass

In order to maximize the stability and safety of the glass, each padel court needs to be fixed to a reinforced concrete surface, such as a ring beam or concrete slab. This fixing method can provide additional support and reduce the stress concentration of the glass caused by external factors, thereby reducing the risk of self-explosion.

The importance of 12mm tempered glass

As the main material of the padel court, 12mm tempered glass can provide high strength and high transparency, as well as high safety. However, the choice of construction and fixing method is also crucial to ensure the stability and durability of the glass, thereby providing a safe and reliable competition environment for athletes and spectators.
