A new challenge is open in the Padel world, the challenge between classic padel courts and Fiberglass courts proposed by NXPadel. Let's find out if it’s really a smart and beneficial solution for clubs, players and installers.

Fiberglass: the new material proposed and adopted by NXPadel for the construction of Padel courts. A real revolution from what has been proposed until now, iron. But is it really a better solution? Iron has always been used for court structures, so why should you opt for Fiberglass ?

By analyzing the patented court of NXPadel, an Italian manufacturer, you can easily understand why Fiberglass is certainly a superior product.

The structure, in fact, has objective and strategic advantages that involve all actors in the sport: Installers, Club Managers and Players.

The first feature that distinguishes NXPadel's Structures is the total impossibility of rusting; it is chemically impossible for weathering, saltiness or any climatic factor to damage the court and ruin both its aesthetics and performance.

Definitely a structure that lasts over time, not only thanks to the absence of corrosion, but also thanks to the extreme elasticity and resilience that increase the safety of play for all players.

A feature that cannot be overlooked given that most players are novices and not familiar with the dynamics of playing padel, having a court that absorbs impacts and at the same time provides psychological safety is also a great advantage for clubs that protect themselves from injury and offer an extremely innovative service to their clients.

For all those who already have experience with iron courts, the first approach with Fiberglass is peculiar; a ''plastic field'' that seems to be light and not very strong...

The reality, however, is quite different, because the incredibly elastic meshes are supported by a thick and strong structure that hides enviable structural and engineering technicalities.

“The first Fiberglass court model, which for the record was sold in 16 countries (about 800 units), already offered most of the advantages of the new model, but from a technical point of view we improved it to make it easier to install and increase its resistance to wind, earthquakes and impacts'' - Luca Ceresoli, founder of NXPadel and Inventor of Fiberglass Padel, explains.

Improvements that are a real delight for technicians in this sector: a fastening system that is as clever as simple: a “Rail system” and clips that allow the interlocking of poles, beams and meshes in very short time and using almost zero hardware.

“Compared to classic iron structures, the brand new Fiberglass system is truly something unique! "You may or may not like it, but no one can say that our court does not have objective advantages and unique features that make it the most innovative on the market. Iron padel courts do their job, if they've been made for 30 years it's because they perform the function decently... we don't just want Fiberglass Structures to be used as ''fencing,'' but to have added values to make the playing experience perfect and simplify the management to the extreme." - adds CEO Nicola Ceresoli.
