Ask What Type of Glass Is Being Supplied
The first question is simple: is the court using tempered safety glass, laminated glass, or another material? ArtPadel’s standard court information centers on 12mm tempered glass, while company materials also show alternative glass routes for specific configurations or customer requirements.
The important point is to match the glass type to the exact court model and project requirements rather than comparing suppliers by thickness alone.
Check the Edge Finish
A technical glass panel is not ready for installation simply because it has the correct thickness. Edge processing matters because the panel must be handled, mounted and used as part of a sports structure.
ArtPadel describes flat polished edges as part of its glass preparation. This is the kind of small manufacturing detail that should be included in a supplier’s technical specification rather than left as a verbal promise.
Look at the Machining and Hole Quality
Glass panels need precise mounting points. ArtPadel describes CNC-drilled mounting holes and uses custom panel sizes depending on the court configuration.
For buyers, the practical question is not simply “How many holes are there?” but “Are the hole positions, edge finish and dimensions controlled consistently across the set?” Exact hole patterns can vary by current model, so the final technical drawing should be checked before production.
Ask Which Standards and Documents Apply
A supplier should be able to explain which standards apply to the glass being offered and provide the relevant documents when requested. ArtPadel’s website materials reference CE, SGCC, AS/NZS2208 and CCC for its glass range.
The buyer should still confirm the current certificate, scope and exact product configuration before using any certification statement in a tender, compliance file or local approval process.
Consider the Glass as Part of the Court System
Glass does not work alone. The panel must connect correctly with the steel structure, seals, protective elements and hardware. ArtPadel materials describe details such as neoprene interfaces and weather-resistant washers in contact areas.
This is why a complete court specification is often more useful than buying the glass as an isolated component.
Think About the Visual Experience
For panoramic and super panoramic projects, glass is also an architectural feature. Larger uninterrupted glass areas create a more open visual environment for spectators and can change the way a club is photographed and presented.
ArtPadel’s Super Panoramic 361 and Super Panoramic 360 are designed around this idea, with the Super Panoramic configuration removing four corner pillars to maximize the visual opening at the corners.
