Sport England have been recommending the addition of rebound panels on steel doors since 2012. Specifically designed for use on sports hall emergency exits, these specialist doors protect hall users from impact injury with prominent door furniture.
In their Sports Halls design guidance publication (pictured below), Sport England advise that:
Full details of the Sport England recommendations for sports hall design can be found on their website. You can download the guidance document here.
“Flush doors, especially those with panic bolt mechanisms, are often difficult to get right and consideration should be given to using metal frames and procuring as a single source supply item (like an engineered window).
“External escape doors must be panelled out to line through with the wall surface. The lower section can then form part of the five-a-side football rebound zone (1.21m high along walls) and a flush facing is essential for overall safety.”
Over time, as the guidance is taken up, these rebound panels are becoming more popular and are being specified on both new build and refurbishment projects. Our standard Steeldor range can easily be modified to comply with the recommendation and is currently being successfully used in sports facilities across the country.
