Why Sliding Doors are a Good Solution for Sport Courts and Fields?
More and more door installers recognize the advantages of sliding doors in enclosed sports court and field designs. Outdoor courts often require secure closures when not in use, making a reliable sliding door system essential.
The key benefits of sliding doors for courts are:
Space Efficiency: Unlike hinged doors, sliding doors do not require clearance space to open and close, making them ideal for courts positioned closely together.
Security and Durability: The doors, made from steel profiles with welded mesh plates, provide strength and longevity while ensuring proper ventilation.
Seamless Visual Integration: Tracks, such as our 100kg Galv Series used in this application, can be coated to match the court’s design scheme.
- Health and Safety: Sports environments are renowned for adults and kids running around a million miles an hour, accidents can occur when hinged doors fly open in a hurry as they protrude outwards. A sliding door design reduces the risk due to it's low profile function.
Our sliding door hardware is an excellent option for various outdoor sports applications, providing reliable, smooth, and secure access solutions. Whether it’s for tennis courts, action sports arenas, or other recreational facilities, our galvanized or stainless steel track systems offer a great combination of durability and simplicity.
