Artificial Turf

THE PLAYING SURFACE

Why Turf Quality Matters

The playing surface is where players spend 100% of their time. A quality artificial turf system directly impacts player comfort, safety, ball behavior, and the longevity of your investment.

We work exclusively with proven turf systems that meet international padel federation standards, ensuring consistent play characteristics and durability even in Thailand's challenging tropical climate.

Key Performance Factors

Ball speed, slide characteristics, shock absorption, and water drainage all depend on proper turf selection and installation.

SURFACE OPTIONS

Types of Padel Turf

🌿

Fibrillated Turf

The most common choice for padel courts. Wide, flat fibers that split over time for a natural appearance and consistent ball roll. Excellent durability and value.

12-15mm pile height
Best for outdoor courts
Requires sand infill
8-10 year lifespan

✨

Monofilament Turf

Premium option with individual blade-like fibers. Offers excellent resilience, more natural appearance, and premium playing characteristics.

12-14mm pile height
Superior ball response
Higher cost
10-12 year lifespan

🔄

Hybrid Systems

Combines fibrillated and monofilament fibers for balanced performance and cost. Increasingly popular for professional facilities.

Best of both worlds
Optimized for padel
Good durability
Growing preference

INFILL SYSTEM

The Role of Sand Infill

Sand infill is critical to padel turf performance. It stabilizes the fibers, provides the right amount of slide for player movements, and helps the surface drain quickly after rain.

Silica Sand: Rounded grains prevent fiber damage
Application Rate: 4-6 kg per square meter
Grain Size: 0.3-0.8mm diameter
Depth: Should reach 70-80% of pile height

Proper sand distribution requires specialized equipment and expertise. Uneven infill leads to inconsistent play characteristics and premature wear.

DRAINAGE

Water Management System

💧

Why Drainage Matters

Thailand's monsoon season brings intense rainfall. Without proper drainage, courts become unplayable for extended periods, impacting revenue and player experience.

Our drainage systems are designed to handle 60+ mm/hour rainfall rates, ensuring courts are playable within 15-20 minutes after heavy rain.

🔧

Drainage Components

Permeable Turf Backing: Allows water to pass through
Aggregate Base Layer: Graded stone for water flow
Perimeter Channels: Collect and direct runoff
Subsurface Drains: French drains where needed
Slope Design: Subtle grading (0.5-1%)

MAINTENANCE

Keeping Your Turf in Top Condition

📅

Pro Tip: Brushing Direction

Always brush against the pile direction to keep fibers upright. Flat fibers lead to inconsistent ball behavior and accelerated wear.
