Project: how to refurbish your sports hall

Softwall anti-shock wall panels:

An excellent way to square the ever increasing safety margins for sports with the fixed dimensions of your sports hall building.

Softwall shock absorbing wall panels are an ingenious solution for ensuring safety and peace of mind, especially in older “smaller” sports halls. They serve as a protective layer between pupils and walls, minimising the risk of injuries and accidents when playing sport. These wall panels, expertly provided by Biddle Sport, are made to measure to your exact sports hall dimensions.

In older standard size sports halls of 32 x 17m, anti-shock wall panels are a must-have safety mitigation, reducing the impact of collisions and falls during games. Schools benefit from these safety measures, ensuring that children can play without the fear of accidents. Having Softwall is a decision that helps to provide extra protection when playing sport, especially netball and basketball whose perimeter lines are closest to the walls.

The significance of Softwall wall padding goes beyond aesthetics, and its application in School sports halls and gymnasia shows parents and pupils your commitment to safeguarding individuals from potential harm.

The KIng’s School, Chester:

During July, we worked with the school and Durant Cricket ltd who updated their old PU floor with Taraflex sports vinyl which we line marked to a new court layout designed for them; their walls were covered with plywood and Softwall panels adhered to the walls plus the rest of the walls were freshly painted. They could have replaced their cricket nets or had more bays to ECB standards but their sports hall was extensively refurbished by ourselves and Durant Cricket Ltd with no consultant or architect fees.

Now the floor and walls have the necessary improved levels of shock absorbency for sport to be taught more safely.
