So where does flooring come in?
Padel courts use a specialist synthetic turf surface and while it's not artificial grass in the traditional sense, it's laid in exactly the same way. The same careful tensioning, precise seaming, and reliable adhesion techniques we've been applying to domestic and commercial installations for years translate directly to court work. The tools are familiar. The eye for detail is the same. The obsession with getting the finish just right? That's just how we work.
Getting the surface right matters more than you might think
The playing surface is the most critical element of any Padel court, directly affecting ball bounce, player movement, and the overall feel of the game. Before a single roll of turf goes down, the sub-base has to be completely flat and level with no variations exceeding 1cm across the entire court area. That kind of precision is something we take seriously on every job, whether it's a domestic lounge floor or a full-size court.
The sand infill plays a huge role too, providing the stability, traction, and bounce characteristics that make the game what it is. Court lines are pre-marked at 5cm wide, clearly contrasting with the playing surface and under the rules of the game, any ball touching a line is considered in play. Getting those lines straight, is all part of the finish we're proud to deliver.
The sand infill is critical.
