Products Description
Providing Reliable Glass Fixing and Impact Cushioning for Professional and Amateur Padel Courts
Padel court glass must withstand repeated impacts from high-speed balls (up to 160 km/h), continuous vibrations during use, and long-term outdoor environmental conditions.
In practical applications, the weakest link in the system is often not the glass itself, but the connection between the glass and the metal structure.
Acrylic connectors (also known as acrylic gaskets, buffer washers, or insulating pads) play a crucial role. They effectively protect the glass edges and openings, reduce stress concentration, prevent edge chipping, and minimize the risk of structural failure over long-term use.
Compared to ordinary plastic or rubber gaskets, acrylic connectors are specifically designed for transparent structural glass in sports settings. They offer high light transmittance, excellent UV resistance, and moderate elasticity, ensuring a stable installation without introducing additional stress points.
Why choose Acrylic connectors
| Material | Transparency | Outdoor UV Life | Moisture Stability | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acrylic | 92% | >5 years without yellowing | Excellent (non-hygroscopic) | Standard padel courts |
| Nylon | Opaque / translucent | 1–2 years then surface cracking | Swells (moisture absorption → torque loss) | Indoor / dry climates |
| Polycarbonate | 88% but yellows over time | 2–3 years then haze appears | Good | Extreme impact zones (rare) |
| Rubber / Silicone | Opaque | 1–3 years (ozone cracking) | Good | Temporary / low-budget courts |
