Panoramic or Deluxe? How to choose a padel court model

Every court we install has the same 20 × 10 m playing area, is CE certified and FIP approved, and can be supplied with Mondo XN turf. What sets the models apart is the structure around the glass: how many posts there are, where they stand, and what that means for the view, the site and the weather. Our lineup has three families: Panoramic, Deluxe and Vision Prestige.

What a panoramic court is

On a panoramic court both back walls are fully glazed, with no posts in the middle of the glass. Spectators behind the court, and cameras, follow the game without a post in the way. Panoramic has been played at the Foro Italico in Rome, in 2016.

Panoramic Indoor is built in powder-coated steel with a heat-cured polyester epoxy finish and is rated for wind up to 20 m/s, so it suits halls with sliding walls. It meets UNI 7697:2021. Its self-supporting, self-levelling structure is designed for sites without a traditional concrete floor.

What a Deluxe court is

Deluxe courts have posts around the whole perimeter, with the glass and the mesh mounted coplanar, flush with each other. The result is a stable structure and a consistent bounce. Deluxe Indoor is in powder-coated steel, rated for 20 m/s, CE, FIP and FITP approved, eligible for FFT play, and available to UNI 7697:2021.

Vision Prestige: no posts at all

Vision Prestige Indoor goes a step further than Panoramic. It has no posts; a metal beam runs along the top instead, for an unobstructed view from every side. It is an indoor court, double only, rated for wind up to 20 m/s, and made for halls with lateral or vertical sliding walls.

Outdoors: wind and the coast

Outside, the structure has to carry the wind. Panoramic Outdoor is rated for 25 or 28 m/s and comes as standard or PLUS, in hot-dip galvanised steel. Deluxe Outdoor has variants up to 36 m/s, the highest rating in our range, in galvanised, powder-coated steel. The PLUS versions are made for coastal sites.

What every model shares

• The same 20 × 10 m playing area, CE certified and FIP approved, and the same play indoors and outdoors
• Panoramic and Deluxe, indoor and outdoor, each come as single and double courts
• Indoors: 12 mm tempered or laminated safety glass to EN 12600, with acoustic glass as an option
• The frame in any RAL colour, Mondo XN turf in green, blue or terracotta

In our projects

In Vissenbjerg we installed four Panorama courts and two single Panorama courts. X3 Padel chose four Deluxe courts and a single court. Both projects use 13.52 mm glass.
