High impact-resistant ceilings in sports complexes

Granule takes on the ball

Because of different uses for Sports arenas, concert and multi-functional halls, a challenge arises in the selection of appropriate materials and equipment for these facilities. A room design has to offer sound acoustical properties for music bands or verbal presentation while withstanding high levels of impact from thousands of excited or disappointed fans that can cause earthquake like vibrations as well as withstanding the flawless strike of a soccer ball at 80km/h.



(businesspress24.com) - Aside from the mechanical and acoustical demands on walls and ceiling paneling, ecology, room climate regulation, stable atmospheric humidity and light reflection are additional considerations.
Furthermore, aside from these mentioned product characteristics, due to the very different uses of the facilities, fire protection is gaining in importance as well. The advantages are here through the availability of acoustic paneling by Lahnau Akustik not only in the material class B1 (fire resistant) but also in the material class A2 (inflammable).

These multi-layered demands on sports facilities motivated the architectural firm Zingel to choose the product Mikropor G bs, which was developed by Lahnau Akustik, as ceiling paneling for the Tulla sports complex in Kehl.

The architectural firm Ackerbauer + Warmuth from Immenhausen chose the impact resistant ceiling paneling by Lahnau Akustik for their project of the Brüder-Grimm school sports complex in Hofgeismar.

Company information / profile:
Lahnau Akustik GmbH (LLC) developed these acoustic panels, which are 18 mm strong with an inorganic bound Poraver core, embedded in a special reinforcement.
Combined with the support system, the guidelines of DIN 18032, Part 3, and “high impact-resistance" components are satisfied.

Paneling details: Mikropor ® G_bs

Thickness: about 18mm
Material class: A 2 fire proof - DIN 4102 or B1 fire resistant
Surface: non-directed, fine
porous structure with colour coat
Colour: white, close to RAL 9010,
customized colours upon request available,
Light reflection degree: >90%
Corners: not grooved and not treated

Paneling measurements: Length max. 2500 mm,
width 625 mm including
cutting face


In the production process different grain sizes of the light-weight aggregate expanded glass granule (microsphere) are used. The deciding factor, crucial for the use are its neutral properties. Poraver is a 100% recycled product from glass and is therefore absolutely non-polluting and allergen free. It provides no breeding ground for pests or mould and its compression strength and light weight add to its advantages.

Multifunctionality brought about by using “Mikropor G bs” with its superior performance data and flexible usage is made possible by Poraver. A special production process combines Poraver with a binder and is pressed into panels that offer ranges of characteristics and effects depending on the grain sizes and screen lines.
Poraver is also used to enhance acoustic panels, fireboards, lightweight panels, façade system, carrier panels and kitchen worktops.
