IL FENOMENO DEL PADEL

Faire: Rome

Maker: FORGIAFER SRL - ITALIAN PADEL

Forgiafer produces what can be defined as the best padel courts on the market and offers 10 years of warranty: since the beginning of the activity in 2016, it has installed more than 2500 courts in over 20 countries. The goal for the next two years is to distribute 65% of the achievements on the foreign market, while already in 2022 the company will reach an annual production capacity of 1500 courts. From 2018 the products are CE certified according to EN 1090-1, recalled by NCT 2018 and Legislative Decree 106/2017 in compliance with EU Regulation No. 305/2011. The CE marking, which is mandatory in Europe, represents a focus on safety and provides a number of additional benefits for customers. With the adaptation of the structures to the NCT 2018, the Padel courts installed in Italy must ensure resistance to wind thrust over 100 km/h. The glasses of the court are tempered 12mm or laminated and have a thickness of 6 + 6 mm with plastic interlayer, which implies greater resistance, greater rebound and greater safety during play. The structure, finally, made with increased thicknesses, is completely galvanized, the welds are anti-corrosion and the painting is carried out in powder, improving the abrasion resistance and the durability of the product over time.
