One of the key innovations in padel court manufacturing is electrogalvanizing. Let’s explore why this method is the first choice for modern padel courts.
Padel — visual expression. Electrogalvanizing forms a smooth, uniform zinc coating on the metal surface through electrolysis. This results in a bright, polished surface that enhances the appearance of the court and complements the sleek, modern design of high-end venues. Whether it is fences, beams or columns, the consistent metallic luster adds a sense of professionalism that is praised by players and spectators.
In terms of process precision control, for small metal parts with complex shapes and high dimensional accuracy requirements in padel courts, electrogalvanizing ensures that all parts are covered with a uniform and standard zinc layer, thereby ensuring the stability and protection of metal parts under complex structures, and effectively avoiding problems such as local corrosion caused by uneven coating.
From the perspective of cost factors, the electrogalvanizing process has flexibility and cost advantages. When faced with the need to galvanize small batches of metal parts, or when the galvanizing process needs to be completed in a short period of time, the cost of electrogalvanizing is relatively low and the production efficiency is quite high.
Issue: Limitations to Consider
Thinner coatings: The zinc layer is typically 5 to 30 microns—enough for moderate environments, but not as strong as hot-dip galvanizing (which can be over 100 microns). In coastal or high-humidity areas, this thinner coating may wear faster, risking exposure to the substrate.
When to choose electrogalvanizing for your court
This method is ideal if:
✅ Aesthetics are a top consideration.
✅ Your design includes small, intricate metal parts.
✅ You have a tight budget or timeline that prevents you from completing low-volume production runs.
