Building the Ultimate Padel Fortress: A Steel Roof and Enclosure Tale for North West Germany
Imagine crafting a unbreakable sanctuary for padel passion in the windy, snowy landscapes of North West Germany. At Unixpadel, we don't just build structures—we engineer legends. Our steel roof and enclosure system with insulated sandwich panels turns ordinary courts into weather-proof powerhouses. This is the story of how we design, fabricate, supply, install, and perfect every detail.
Chapter 1: The Blueprint of Resilience
Our story begins with a crystal-clear scope: a full steel roof and enclosure tailored for padel courts, executed flawlessly by Unixpadel. Picture this: primary and secondary steel frames forged from robust H-profiles, all hot-dip galvanized for eternal strength. We layer on thermal-insulated sandwich panel roofs and façades, add glazed elements flooding the court with natural daylight, and integrate smart anchorage, drainage, condensation control, wind/snow/seismic defenses, plus easy maintenance access.
No compromises on loads—characteristic snow hits ≥1.50 kN/m² (150 kg/m²) on horizontal projection, winds obey NTC 2018 and Eurocode EN 1991-1-4 for Germany's zones, and seismic actions follow EN 1998 or local rules if needed.
Chapter 2: The Code of Champions
We weave in the finest regulations like threads in a tapestry. Italian powerhouses NTC 2018 (D.M. 17/01/2018) and Circolare 21/01/2019 n.7 guide us, alongside Eurocodes: EN 1990 for structural basics, EN 1991-1-3 for snow, EN 1991-1-4 for wind, EN 1993 for steel mastery, and EN 1998 for quakes. Steel shines with EN 1090-1/2 CE marking, EN ISO 3834-2 welding, and EN ISO 1461 galvanizing. Materials? EN 10025 steels, EN 14399/15048 bolting. Sandwich panels dazzle under EN 14509, with fire ratings from EN 13501-1, U-values via EN ISO 6946, acoustics per EN ISO 10140/717-1, and corrosion armor from EN ISO 12944. Anchors boast ETA approval (EAD 330232-00-0601). Every document? Signed by a licensed Italian structural engineer (Albo) for seamless German comune approval.
Chapter 3: The Design That Defies Elements
Snow? ≥1.50 kN/m² locked in. Winds? Tuned to regional fury. Load combos hit ULS/SLS per EN 1990, deflections stay under L/250 (stricter for roofs to banish ponding). Temps swing from −20°C to +60°C, all in Execution Class EXC2 (EN 1090-2).
Chapter 4: Materials Forged in Fire
Heroes of steel: S355 grade (EN 10025) H-profiles for columns and beams, hot-dip galvanized ≥85 μm (EN ISO 1461). Bolts grip with EN 14399 preloads or EN 15048 standards—stainless AISI 304/316 where eyes meet. Welds? EN ISO 3834-2 certified by EN ISO 9606-1 pros.
Chapter 5: The Insulated Armor – Sandwich Panels
Ditch flimsy membranes; our thermal-insulated sandwich panels (ASPAN-type or equivalent) cloak every surface. PIR/PUR cores, 60–100 mm thick, λ ≤0.022 W/mK. U-values? Roof ≤0.30 W/m²K, walls ≤0.35 W/m²K. Fire? B-s2,d0 (EN 13501-1). Sound? Rw ≥25–30 dB. Airtight, watertight, UV/moisture-proof—CE-marked (EN 14509) with full test reports for thermal, fire, acoustic, and condensation wins.
Chapter 6: The Structural Symphony
H-profile frames span 3.0–5.0 m (static-optimized), secondary members cradle panels, glazed zones invite light, gutters drain relentlessly. No ponding, ever—snow slides away, accumulation tamed. Maintenance paths and anchors await your call.
Chapter 7: Roots That Grip the Earth
Foundations anchor with ETA-approved chemical/mechanical heroes for tension/shear duels. We drill, clean, cure, torque, and verify reinforcement non-destructively—per manufacturer gospel.
In North West Germany, Unixpadel's steel roof and enclosure doesn't just stand—it dominates, year after year. Ready to build your padel legend?
