Types of side enclosures from Okatent
1. Enclosure with textile membrane
The membrane used for the enclosures is made of a polyester fabric coated with PVC and acrylic varnish on both sides, manufactured with welded Keder at the lateral ends to ensure watertightness with the structure.
They are waterproof, with a microbiocidal treatment, and fire-resistant with special M2 fire protection rating, according to NFP 82507.
The installation of these membranes is quick and features a tensioning system that provides stability to the structure.
Depending on the needs of each project, there are two types of membranes we can work with:
Translucent or semi-translucent membranes:
This is a satin white textile canvas weighing 650 g/m² that allows natural light to illuminate the padel courts without the need to open the side curtains. In addition to white, it can be obtained in other colors, although this reduces the amount of light entering.
Opaque membranes
The sides with matte-finish opaque canvas are membranes weighing 800 g/m² with opacity of over 90%, containing an inner layer that prevents the passage of light and UV radiation. They can be white or other colors that enhance opacity, such as gray or green.
