Padel Court Flooring

Written by Communications Department Portico Sport March 4, 2025

Padel court flooring plays a crucial role in the overall playing experience. It directly impacts ball bounce, player movement, safety, and durability. Choosing the right surface is essential, whether for a club, a sports facility, or a private court.

Padel Court Surface Types

There are different padel court surfaces, but artificial turf is by far the most popular and widely accepted option. Let’s take a look at the main types:

Artificial turf – The standard for padel courts

✔ The safest and most comfortable option
✔ Official surface for professional tournaments
✔ Optimized ball bounce and grip
✔ Durable and weather-resistant
✔ Customizable

Synthetic Resin Flooring

✔ Offers a wide variety of finishes, for added cushioning
✔ Provides both fast and slow ball bounce
✔ Widely used in many tournament courts
✔ Enhances player comfort and ensures optimal playability

Permeable Concrete Flooring

✔ Fully draining surface
✔ No sand mixed with the concrete, allowing water to flow
✔ Ideal for regions with high rainfall

Concrete Padel Courts

✔ Provides a hard surface with faster ball speed
✔ Less cushioning, increasing injury risk
✔ More difficult for players to maintain control, leading to a faster-paced and tiring game
✔ Often considered less desirable for recreational or casual play

While some older courts may use hard surfaces, artificial turf remains the gold standard, ensuring the best combination of playability, safety, and durability.
