More about impact panels
Impact panels are widely used along hockey fields to protect fencework from hard hockey balls. By placing the impact panel on the underside of the fencework, strong and durable protection is created around the field. This helps limit damage to the fencework and contributes to a neat field finish.
W&H supplies impact panels for sports clubs, municipalities, contractors and managers of sports facilities. The panels are suitable for new build, renovation and replacement around hockey fields and other sports locations.
An impact panel must be able to withstand intensive use. Hockey balls can hit the field perimeter at high speed, making a solid and reliable solution important. That is why the impact panels are designed to be impact-resistant and break-resistant.
Because of these properties, the panels are suitable for sports environments where daily training and play take place. They provide protection, ensure a crisp edge finish and help extend the service life of the fencework.
The impact panel is made from recycled plastic, namely LDPE. This material is strong, low-maintenance and suitable for long-term outdoor use. The panel has an extremely long service life of more than 40 years.
By choosing recycled plastic, a practical sports field solution is combined with a conscious material choice. This makes the impact panel suitable for facilities where sustainability and service life are important starting points.
Temperature differences can affect plastic materials. That is why the impact panel is provided with steel reinforcement, type S8. This reinforcement helps limit deformation due to expansion and shrinkage.
As a result, the panel stays better in shape and is suitable for use in outdoor environments where temperature differences throughout the year can be significant.
In addition to protection, the impact panel also has noise-reducing properties. This is particularly relevant at hockey fields, where balls are regularly struck against the edge or the fencework.
By using impact panels, noise nuisance around the field can be limited. This contributes to a more pleasant sports environment for players, visitors and the immediate surroundings of the facility.
The ends of the impact panels are fitted with a pen-and-hole connection. This allows the panels to connect neatly to each other and creates a tight continuous line along the field.
A good connection is important for the look, function and durability of the field finish. W&H can help think about the right application and installation around the sports field.
