In this article, we will examine the costs of a screed for one or more padel courts. Our company specializes in the design and execution of the slab for mixed structures.

We can tell you right away that a screed for a 12 x 22-meter padel court costs €13,000 + VAT, excluding excavation and the stabilized layer.

Let’s now clarify what is meant by screed and delve deeper into the details.

What Are Mixed Structures?

Mixed structures are temporary constructions that comply with the UNI EN 13782 standard. Therefore, the slab or plate is not a true foundation but rather a “wind-resistant ballast” that must meet the following requirements:

• Repetitiveness and reversibility: It must be possible to restore the original state of the site.
• Above-ground installation: If placed below the ground level, it becomes a foundation.
• Transportability: Must allow standard transportation (no special transport).
• Compliance with soil permeability parameters of the area (e.g., Umbria 60% green area, Marche 40% green area; otherwise, a SCIA is required).

Importance of the Screed in a Padel Court

The screed is a fundamental element of a padel court.
Before constructing a court, it is essential to carefully choose its components.

Definition and Function of the Screed

The screed is a horizontal construction element that levels a surface, making it perfectly flat.

• It distributes the load of the overlying elements.
• It serves as the base for the final flooring.

Reasons to Choose the Right Screed

• First impression: The screed is the “business card” of a padel court; a poor-quality screed leaves a bad impression.
• Player safety: Damage or imperfections in the screed can endanger players.
• Comfort and peace of mind: Essential for a team sport like padel.

Types of Screeds for a Padel Court

Asphalt Screed

• Cost: Relatively low.
• Disadvantages: Sensitive to heat sources, requires constant maintenance to keep the court efficient.
• Suitability: Not ideal for padel courts.

Smooth Concrete Screed

• Advantages: Most common choice.
• Disadvantages:
  • Hard material with poor drainage.
  • Water accumulation beneath the turf can damage the court.
  • Low elasticity, increasing the risk of muscle and joint injuries.
  • Requires precise leveling and proper slope for water drainage.

Porous Concrete Screed

• Advantages: Best choice for padel courts.
  • Elastic material, reduces muscle fatigue and injury risk.
  • Excellent water drainage, allowing the court to be used even after rain.
  • No structural slope needed, resulting in a perfectly horizontal court.
  • Prevents water pooling, ensuring optimal ball bounce.
