Laykold Padel Court System in Baar-Ebenhausen

Exercising on the Court

Padel is a new trend in Germany, and it has nothing to do with paddling on water. It is a racket sport played by four players in a court made of glass and metal, which can be integrated into play.

At first glance, Padel looks like a compact version of tennis. However, beyond many similarities, there are also significant differences, all of which guarantee high fun and maximum movement intensity. The ball is constantly in motion, speeding back and forth incredibly fast, resulting in numerous consecutive ball exchanges and relatively long, sometimes spectacular rallies for semi-experienced players. In any case, it’s great fun and a fantastic opportunity to really work out.

And that’s exactly why the Dr. O.K. Wack Chemie GmbH installed a Padel court for its employees when moving into its new company building. In Baar-Ebenhausen near Ingolstadt, games are played on our Laykold Padel System, which makes us particularly proud since the court is only 20 kilometers away from our headquarters in Burgheim. “The new Padel Court is a true asset for us at Dr. Wack – after an intensive workday, Padel provides us with the perfect balance and fosters team spirit in a completely new way,” says Susanne Pfeil, Plant Manager at Dr. O.K. Wack Chemie GmbH.

For the substructure, we didn’t use the industry-standard hard concrete floor but instead our innovative Laykold Padel ET substructure system. It offers excellent properties in terms of shock absorption, water permeability, and durability, ensuring top-quality playing surfaces.

The artificial turf above it stands out with optimal sports-functional properties and provides players with excellent performance. Contributing to this is the 10 mm filament height, which is essential for optimal playing conditions. The amount of sand infill allows the playing speed to be individually adjusted, and UV protection ensures the fibers' color stability over time.

Our Padel court also meets the highest standards. For instance, the metal construction of the court is made of hot-dip galvanized steel, with corner profiles having a thickness of at least 3 mm. The screws are made of stainless steel, and the verified static calculation is designed for the respective wind load zones. The CE marking is issued according to the EN 1090 standard.

We are delighted to pave the way for this trending sport with our surfaces.
