Ball Impact Safety

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.

Ball-Impact-Resistant Systems

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:

  • LMD-St 700 BWS and LMD-St 213 BWS expanded metal ceilings
  • LMD-E 213 BWS hook-on ceiling
  • Ball-impact-resistant recessed luminaires SHL 298 and SYS 298

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.

Standard-Compliant Ball Impact Resistance

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.

Why ball impact resistance is important to the Lindner Group

  • Safety for users: Our top priority is the safety of the people who use our ceiling systems. We conduct rigorous testing to ensure that our systems can withstand even unforeseen events.
  • Many years of expertise: With our many years of experience in developing ceiling systems, we can offer solutions that meet the highest safety standards.
  • Innovative research and development (R&D): We continuously invest in R&D to ensure that our products always meet the latest safety requirements.
