Gyms and Sports halls
Enhance Comfort and Performance in Your School’s Gym and Sports Hall
School gyms and sports halls are increasingly multi-purpose hosting a variety of activities, from PE classes, discos and school fairs to jumble sales, school productions - and sports events! Effective and flexible blinds help enhance performance and comfort during your activities.
Regulating temperature and managing glare and UV light are the challenges most frequently cited by schools looking for shading solutions:
- Intense sunlight can create glare on gym floors and sports equipment, hindering visibility and performance during activities.
- Temperature fluctuations due to sunlight can make it uncomfortable for athletes and spectators alike in many sports halls. By using blinds for gym settings, schools can regulate temperature and create a more comfortable environment.
- Prolonged sunlight exposure can damage equipment and flooring, leading to premature wear and tear and increased maintenance costs. Gym blinds with UV resistance are ideal for protecting floors and sports equipment.
Maintenance of blinds can also be a challenge, with high windows and a host of hands and fingers tangling blind cords! We provide the option of gear-operated roller blinds which have no chain or cords, making them more robust and ideal for schools.
