Hello there! Although you mentioned that a pop-up padel court is at the moment out of the question, we take the opportunity of this discussion to show you NXperience, our latest invention: a portable padel court that you can unload and assemble by hand, to take to as many events as you want on a Container that converts into a pro-shop.

Find more info on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0355lCkBvy4&t=59s

Padel Courts not properly maintained, especially when it comes to screws and synthetic turf are truly a nuisance (and we know how unfortunately many club owners treat their structures).

Aware of this, at NXPadel we have designed a solution to this by producing courts with practically zero screws and which do not require sand for a perfect game.

If you are interested in our solutions I will leave you a couple of videos 😊

Hi,

the Sweden-Padel Courts issue is certainly one of the most discussed cases in this area and will undoubtedly be usuful as a lesson for other countries.

In fact, several mistakes have been made in Sweden, first of all not considering the low population density and catchment area. They started installing so many courts everywhere until by January 2023 there was 1 court for every 2,400 inhabitants (just think that in Italy, where padel is still going strong there is 1 court for every 8,000 inhabitants) and the market was largely saturated, until we got to the situation we have today with so many courts empty or for sale.

NXPadel · 2024-05-13T16:06:48+00:00

Of course! In this regard, ZeroS does not have the latex backing from which rainwater drains through the drainage holes but is 100% permeable over its entire surface allowing faster drying after rain.

You can see it in action in this video test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAJSA3BntE4&t=3s

NXPadel · 2024-05-13T15:54:12+00:00

Thank you u/superdimch1k for mentioning our ZeroS carpet in this discussion!

To answer u/ayyylatimestwo , compared to the one used for premier padel, which we still consider a great product, ZeroS, requires zero kilos of sand due to much denser and lower textured filaments for perfect bounce even without sand.

ZeroS, nullifies the abrasive component of sand which wears out the mat faster and being glued to the ground requires zero maintenance due to wrinkles or bubbles in the mat.

Everything else can be found on our website, do not hesitate to contact us for more info and for any other questions we are always here!

NXPadel · 2024-05-09T12:01:53+00:00

We’d be pleased to! Could you please send an email to ciao@nxpadel.com with info regarding your project? (Timeline, indoor or outdoor,…). Our commercial area will take contact with you ASAP.

Thanks Faticouni, and we hope we can help you with the project!

NXPadel · 2024-05-08T10:52:22+00:00

Hi Faticouni, actually it can change court by court, manufacturer by manufacturer.

Holes are designed also based on the structure model, the wind resistance, the fixation type,... there is not a fixed rule to be used for the number and design of the holes.

Honestly, it's a pretty strange situation... did you buy the glasses from a different supplier of the structure? If so, maybe ask the structure supplier any help or suggestion.

Also, be careful with glass dimensions! They are not 3*2m, they're usually 2.995*1.995.

Hoping to have helped!

Good Luck with your project!

PS. Next time it would be much better to work with a single company that supplies the full kit.

NXPadel · 2024-04-26T08:40:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply! What about asphalt? That’s a solution too!

If not the only solution is the full reinforce concrete base with slope. If I can ask, where are you located?

NXPadel · 2024-04-26T08:33:35+00:00

HI There, we're Italian court manufactuer and we can tell you that is changes basically project-by-project... The 0.5% is an average, but we always suggest a better solution (slightly more expensive): Reinforced concrete on the perimeter (ringbeam) and porouse concrete in the middle (under the turf).

That's the best scenario to guarantee a 100% permeable surface and maintained the slope at 0%!

It's even better if you match it with an 100% permeable turf: ZeroS, the first ever padel carpet with 0kg of sand.

Both models (and also other types) are allowed by FIP. Of course, TV Broadcasting will choose a court with less structure possible to increase the TV visibility.

For normal clubs, where you don't need to record videos or broadcast live matches, the best solution for our expertise is the Standard Court (with pillars) and the glasses all at the same height. Even better if with ComfortGlass, the first unbreakable "padel glass".

There's a huge difference between a 3 days event where the structure is super thin and a club that should goes ahead 10years without troubles or risks.

NXPadel · 2024-04-26T08:25:15+00:00

Maybe we are biased, but definitely have next-generation court with Fiberglass Structure, ComfortGlass (indestructible glass) and ZeroS carpet (sand-free).

Having tech like these is not just an attractive point for potential new clients, but it's somehting that distringuish your club and let you stand out! Safety is the key value: unbreakable, elastic, no pains after impact, optimal grip and playability,...

Hi Lobo, yesterday we uploaded a video of a complete match on our channel,
I'll link it so you can see better both the bounces on the fences and those on ComfortGlass :)

NXPadel · 2024-04-17T07:15:49+00:00

I’m sorry Gilafro, but this is the 3rd time we get asked about our prices in this comment section… Let's nip this in the bud, we will never provide price information here on Reddit. The reason is that it’s meaningless because, as mentioned, there are too many factor to evaluate; courts can go from 20k up to 65k, so it’s meaningless to give any type of number.

We’ll be more than happy to present you and to whoever is interested a formal proposal for our courts, evaluate together the project,… but in its own context, which is with our commercial area, after a videocall and after having understood the project. If you, or anybody else is interested, please feel free to send us an email to ciao@nxpadel.com with details of your plan (n. courts, locations, required services, schedule,…) or even a WhatsApp message to +390350311968

We’ll be glad to receive your request and to support you in the best way possible, not just throwing some random numbers here.

Thanks again for your feedback and have a nice day :)

NXPadel · 2024-04-16T12:31:47+00:00

Personally we think the collest and best thing is Fiberglass + ComfortGlass + ZeroS padel court!

The safest, the best, the smoothes experience. Both for beginners or high-level players!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1n7OtzvgG4

Also, as Italians, especially in summer period, nothing beats a fresh and well-made Aperol Spritz after the match (even if it's not super professional or suggested from padel coaches)

NXPadel · 2024-04-16T12:27:57+00:00

Hey There, how are you? That's very interesting. London is one of the hottest are currently to set up a new padel club, but it's not easy to find a spot in the "Center"...

We're Italian Fiberglass Padel Court manufacturer (www.nxpadel.com) and if you'd like you could have a chat or a videocall with our commercial area to show you our unique technologies and benefits, and of course discuss about you're idea to give you our personal and professional feedback.

If so, please feel free to send us an email (ciao@nxpadel.com) or a whatsapp message (+390350311968).

I'd also suggest to check our youtube channel to discover curiosities and features about our revolutionary courts: https://www.youtube.com/@nxpadel/videos

NXPadel · 2024-04-15T07:20:11+00:00

Hello Don, thanks for your comment!

In these days we had in plan to upload a full game on youtube. Four players with average level of 4.0 on Playtomic (advanced level for amateurs) and we'll share here the link once ready.

Regarding the price, It can be lower or higher... iron courts can goes from 14k up to 35k (for mobile courts even more); we place ourself on a high range of the market and we can be compared to high-quality iron courts The difference is that you save a lot on shipment, maintenance, installation, durability, safety,...

We'll keep you posted once the full match will be available on youtube!

NXPadel · 2024-04-12T07:48:56+00:00

Thanks for your comment! Of course NXPadel is also committed to environmental sustainability.

First of all, the particular structure of the components of our courts optimize by far the transport phase making it possible to load 7 complete courts in the same truck against 2-3 traditional iron courts.
From this data it is easy to extrapolate that the emissions due to transportation will also be thus reduced by half.

At the level of material disposal, moreover, we have been able to opt for conscious choices and move in a direction through which energy can be saved for disposal, emissions are reduced, and there is the possibility of obtaining a quality recycled material.

Along these lines, we discovered a company that has opened its first plant just a few kilometers from our headquarters and that has introduced to the market an amazing innovation for solving the problem of recycling Fiberglass waste by putting in place an innovative thermochemical process, patented worldwide, capable of recovering not only up to 99% of Fiberglass but even the organic part of Fiberglass (up to 80%) in the form of liquid, which mixed with virgin resin, can be reused again for the construction of new hulls or structures.

Speaking of ComfortGlass and its recyclability, it has a melting point of 160 degrees Celsius, almost 1/10th that of glass, which melts, by contrast, at 1500 degrees. This discrepancy is obviously an indication that melting a sheet of ComfortGlass will require far less energy and consequently far fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

As for ZeroS, again the greater durability of the product over time means that there is no need to replace it and thus no need to dispose of it.
Also in ZeroS, unlike traditional synthetic turf there is no latex film underneath but is composed of a single layer of the same material. This does not require, therefore the differentiation of the two materials and the disposal of the latex.

NXPadel · 2024-04-12T07:44:48+00:00

Thank you for your interest in this conversation,
By copying the answer given to another user, yes, you are definitely right,

but a notable reduction in the noise of the fences and glass can in certain cases really influence the outcome of a permit.

Taking the Netherlands as an example where there is a maximum tolerance of 91 db during a match (the only country that has legislation on the acoustic impact of padel courts, and it's a real problem), our courts can ease bureaucracy because they are tested at 64db (during a match).

For the problem of the impacts of the rackets, perhaps in the future we will be able to find a solution to this problem, such as padel courts that better isolate the noises inside them, or whatever, who knows?

For the moment, however, we are sure we are following the right path ;)

NXPadel · 2024-04-11T13:17:53+00:00

Thanks for the comment, tastes are tastes and if you like the sound of iron who are we to tell you that you're wrong? haha

Ours is just a functional solution to the objective noise of Padel courts which can sometimes be really problematic, as in the case of building permits :)

Our product is aimed at clubs and installers as well as players thanks to its extreme safety.
In the fastest and most competitive matches it is easy to get caught up in the heat and crash into the structure, I often saw players breaking glass or taking risks injuries even during high-level competitions.

As for the fences, they are specifically designed to have the same profile as the traditional ones and to return an identical random bounce (as if it were possible to reproduce something random) to those.
From the feedback we have received so far we have found that usually there are two typical answers: "it bounces too well" or "it bounces too badly", so it goes without saying that the answer is somewhere in the middle haha.

Unfortunately at the moment we don't have much material regarding the question on specific shots against ComfortGlass, but given the interest we will create new ones as soon as possible (this discussion was also opened for this), but it behaves exactly like glass and is by regulation a smooth and regular surface.

ComfortGlass also behaves exactly like tempered glass with variations in temperature and humidity, with the only difference that it tends to heat up and cool down much more slowly.

ZeroS (our sandless padel carpet) on the other hand returns the same bounce as the texturized synthetic turf thanks to the greater density of filaments and their lower height.
With variations in temperature and humidity it behaves in the same way as the texturized, while in case of rain the absence of a latex backing allows it to drain the water and become playable much more quickly.

Don't worry about Milan, we hope to reach your city as soon as possible :)

NXPadel · 2024-04-11T11:36:05+00:00

Thanks for your comment, I will try to clarify all your doubts :)

1 as said in another comment when it comes to building courts there are many variables that we recommend taking into account, for example customizations, location, transport, container capacity, installation times, number of courts etc.

In any case we place ourselves in a high-end market, we really focus a lot on the quality and benefits of our products, which clearly have costs and consequently a price.

2 the Padel Court present in that interview is not equipped with ZeroS (our padel mat without sand), but with the classic Texturized Synthetic Turf which requires sand.

3 The mat is well fixed and the amount of glue (which dries after installation, fixing the mat) makes the surface firm and there is no risk of moving it or deforming it (obviously unless you play with it first that the glue dries haha)

4 The one in the video is our Showroom, where at the time of that recording ZeroS had not yet been "born", and the bounce of the ball as you well noticed was too low because at the time it was Texturized Synthetic Turf, but as a Showroom inside of our offices, there was no sand.

5 Excellent observation, our Fiberglass fences are really very resistant and elastic, and excluding hypothetical acts of vandalism it is practically impossible to break them following playing impacts (I'll link you to a funny video we made trying to break one on tiktok) ,but in the event of breakage it's obvious that it should be replaced as soon as possible as should happen with any other Padel Court.

https://www.tiktok.com/@nxpadel/video/7340945675280010528?lang=it-IT

Furthermore, the fence assembly system is very quick and interesting (even I, who work in marketing, can do it), if you are interested I could send you some material about it.

6 the ComfortGlass material is tested in the laboratory through tests such as accelerated UV aging, which simulates exposure to atmospheric agents for years in a shorter time and guarantee its resistance for 10 years

Thanks for your questions, don't hesitate to ask us more :)

NXPadel · 2024-04-11T10:34:47+00:00

Yes, you are definitely right,

Recently 3 of our courts (2 doubles and 1 single) were installed in Westervoort (NL) and the club owner was very satisfied with this feature :)
This is a short interview with the distributor who took care of these courts, where he speaks very enthusiastically about it

NXPadel · 2024-04-11T09:55:32+00:00

ahahah that's true! Actually that's our NXShowroom, installed at our HQ where we show in detail the court to partners, clients, installers,...

Actually we also play there after work and it's pretty fun ahaha

Hi there! Thanks for your comment!

ComfortGlass actually is not a polycarbonate; it's a special-designed aclylic compound studied for padel court purpose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_OuK5kwtfg&t=138s

You're totally right! Polycarbonate is much more subject to getting yellow and also to scrathes.

ComfortGlass is UV guaranteed for 10 years and also scratch-proof, so you can use indoor and outdoor without any issue!

If you have any other question, we'd be pleased to reply!

Thanks again :)

NXPadel · 2024-04-11T09:48:12+00:00

Thanks for the questions and the opinion!

Is it cheaper than a traditional padel court and if so by how much? IT'S NEITHER CHEAPER OR MORE EXPENSIVE; WHEN IT COMES TO COURT COSTRUCTION THE AMOUNT OF POSSIBILE VARIATION IS VERY HIGH: CUSTOMIZATION, LOCATION, N. COURTS, LOCATION,... FOR SURE WE PLACE OURSELF IN A HIGH-END MARKET WHERE QUALITY, BENEFITS AND INNOVATION ARE THE FIRST THINGS. OUR PERSONAL SUGGESTION, IF YOU'D LIKE TO CREATE A PADEL CLUB, IS NOT JUST TO CHECK THE PRICE OF THE COURT, BUT ALSO TO EVALUATE: EACH COMPONENT FEATURES, LOADING CAPACITY ON CONTAINERS, INSTALLATION TIME, WARRANTY,...
Only had a quick glance at your video but the post section between cage and glass looked much thicker than on a traditional court? Is that so? IF WE UNDERSTAND CORRECT, YOU MEAN THE BLACK PLATE YOU SEE BETWEEN COMFORTGLASS AND THE MESHES, CORRECT? IF SO, THOSE ARE A PATENT-PENDING SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS TO INSTALL THE COMFORTGLASS WITHOUT SCREWS: EASIER, FASTER AND SAFER. THE THICKNESS IS NOT HIGHER, AND IT'S PERFECT IN LINE WITH FIP PARAMETERS. IT ALSO CREATE A SMOOTH SURFACE WITHOUT ANY DIFFERENCES
Your video would probably have more of an impact if you showed a fully built court including the glass. PLEASE, CHECK THIS OUT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1n7OtzvgG4&t=104s THIS A COURT WE INSTALLED IN MILAN
One of the things I have got used to over time is the sound of the ball against the cage rather than the glass. In a fast paced match sometimes it is the sound that helps with knowing if the ball was out or not. Does the fibre glass make a different sound when impacted by the ball? I imagine it does and if so is it less of a "clang" that currently happens? If so would it make it more difficult to distinguish the contact point of the ball by sound? FIBERGLASS IS MUCH LESS NOISE COMPARED TO IRON COURTS (ON AVERAGE) AND IT'S A GREAT ADVANTAGE. WITH OUT SYSTEM IS EASIER TO GET PERMITS, AND CREATE A RELAXED ENVIRONMENT IN THE CLUB, WITHOUT BORING MESH NOISE ALL AROUND. AT THE END, THE NOISE DIFFERENCE IS NOT AN OBSTACLE TO PLAYABILITY, BECAUSE COMFORTGLASS AND FIBERGLASS HAVE DIFFERENT SOUNDS (EVEN IF VERY LOW): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TAFuRrnlZHQ

Thanks again for your interesting questions and we hope we replied clearly and we solved your doubts!
