In sports halls, multipurpose halls, and swimming pools, interior fit-out elements are subject to particularly high mechanical loads. Especially in environments with intensive sporting activity, ceiling and wall claddings, as well as technical fittings such as lighting, must withstand the impact energy of balls on a permanent basis – without becoming detached, deformed, or damaged.
Ball impact resistance is therefore a crucial criterion when selecting suitable systems for sports areas. Its compliance is standardised and legally mandated under DIN 18032-3.
As a leading interior fit-out provider, Lindner offers a wide range of tested, ball-impact-resistant ceiling systems and luminaires – developed specifically for demanding use in sports and multipurpose halls. These include, among others:
Our ball-impact-resistant ceiling systems combine durability with a carefully engineered substructure that precisely meets the requirements of the standard. The systems impress with exceptional stability and ease of installation – ideal for functional sports areas with high usage frequencies.
The corresponding luminaires are positively integrated into the ceiling grid and reliably withstand even direct ball impacts – all while maintaining consistent light quality and functionality.
To meet the requirements of DIN 18032-3, our systems undergo standardised ball impact testing. In these tests, components are repeatedly hit with handballs, hockey balls, and a special ball shooting device – at impact angles of 45 and 90 degrees and speeds of up to 65 km/h.
Only systems that show no deformation, detachment, or other mechanical damage during these tests are considered ball-impact-resistant. According to current standards and regulations, only these systems may be used in sports and play halls.
