A lowered dividing curtain splits a sports hall into two courts

Sports facility & venue equipment

Sports hall & arena Several groups, one hall, divided in a few minutes

Dividing curtains split the sports hall so school classes and clubs can train at the same time. Ball safety nets protect spectators, glass and equipment. Camera platforms and commentary booths give television its place, and stacking chairs and folding tables turn the hall into an auditorium. All from the manufacturer that also builds grandstands and stages.

  • Flame-retardant B1 (DIN 4102-1)
  • Camera platforms for 750 kg/m²
  • Annual inspection and maintenance

The situation

When the hall has to do more Four situations every venue manager knows

  1. Too many groups, one hall

    Without a divider, one class trains and the others wait. Or everyone disturbs everyone else.

  2. Balls fly into the stands

    Spectators, windows and equipment are in the path of balls – and, in an ice rink, of pucks.

  3. Television is coming

    Camera, director and commentators need a place with a clear view, often for just one match.

  4. After the match, the party

    Chairs and tables must be set out quickly and then disappear into little storage space.

For each of these situations BÜTEC has a product that fits into the hall and then gives the space back.

How it works

Parked overhead, set up fast What keeps the hall free when nobody needs it

  • Parked under the roof

    Dividing curtains and electrically gathered ball nets move up when the whole hall is needed. A safety catch and safety limit switches are standard.

  • Built from the platform system

    Camera platforms and commentary booths are made from BÜTEC stage platforms: TÜV-certified, rated up to 750 kg/m², temporary or permanent.

  • Stackable and on wheels

    Stacking chairs and folding tables come with matching trolleys on request. Setting out is quick, and storage takes little space.

  • Inspected and maintained

    Dividing curtains count as suspended loads above people and must be inspected regularly. BÜTEC offers inspection and maintenance.

Questions

What venue managers ask about sports facility equipment

Does a dividing curtain need an annual inspection?

Dividing curtains count as "suspended loads above people". In Germany they must be inspected every year by a competent person; check the rules in your country. BÜTEC offers inspection and maintenance – see our maintenance service.

How much noise does a dividing curtain block?

In the laboratory, the standard material reduces sound by 22 dB, and a multi-layer fabric with a velour surface by up to 26 dB(A). In a real hall the value is clearly lower, because sound also travels around the curtain. Side sound locks improve it, and the material shortens the reverberation time.

Can camera platforms be built for just one match?

Yes. They are made from BÜTEC stage platforms and are also set up temporarily, for example for handball, volleyball, table tennis or basketball broadcasts.

Are the chairs suitable for outdoors?

The Pro Comfort stacking chair is made for indoor use. For grandstands there are dedicated grandstand chairs and seat shells.
