8 Types of Sports Hall Curtains for Your Court

Know the 8 Types of Sports Hall Curtains for Your Court

Introduction

Designing a modern sports facility isn’t just about the playing surface — it’s about creating flexible, safe, and efficient spaces that can adapt to a variety of uses. Whether you’re an architect, school, council, or facility manager, sports hall curtains are a practical solution that help maximise space, improve safety, and enhance usability.

But with several types of curtain systems available, how do you know which one is right for your court or facility?

At RMA Sport, we’ve worked with Australian architects and councils for over 25 years to deliver reliable, high-quality curtain systems. Here’s an overview of the eight main types of sports hall curtains — and how to choose the best one for your project.

1. Stadia Centre Drive Curtain

A popular choice for large multi-court stadiums, the Stadia Centre Drive Curtain is a motorised system that provides smooth, consistent operation across wide spans. Its central drive mechanism ensures even lift and tension, making it ideal for venues that demand precision and reliability.

Best for: Large sports centres, multipurpose halls, and high-use facilities.

2. Essentials Fold-Up Curtain

Designed for simplicity and affordability, the Essentials Fold-Up Curtain offers practical space division without the complexity of a motorised system. It folds neatly upwards, taking up minimal ceiling space.

Best for: Schools and community gyms looking for an efficient, budget-friendly divider.

3. Stadia Top Roll Curtain

For premium facilities where aesthetics matter, the Stadia Top Roll Curtain rolls onto a top-mounted shaft for a clean, streamlined ceiling finish. It’s a low-maintenance option that looks as good as it performs.

Best for: Professional stadiums, university halls, or facilities with high design standards.

4. Peak Fold Curtain

Many Australian sports halls feature pitched or angled roofs — that’s where the Peak Fold Curtain comes in. It’s designed to follow roof lines, offering consistent coverage without compromising on separation or clearance.

Best for: Gyms and sports centres with sloped ceilings or complex roof structures.

5. Radius Fold Curtain

If your facility has a curved layout or unusual shape, the Radius Fold Curtain offers the flexibility to follow those contours while maintaining effective division. Its custom-engineered design ensures smooth operation and a precise fit.

Best for: Architectural spaces requiring tailored solutions.

6. Essentials Dividing Curtain for COLAs

Australia’s schools often rely on Covered Outdoor Learning Areas (COLAs) to make the most of their outdoor space. The Essentials Dividing Curtain for COLAs is built for this purpose — tough, weather-resistant, and easy to operate outdoors.

Best for: Schools and community facilities using outdoor or semi-covered spaces.

7. Walk-Draw Curtain

Simple yet effective, the Walk-Draw Curtain operates manually along a track, allowing staff to quickly open or close it as needed. It’s an excellent low-maintenance choice for smaller spaces or where motorisation isn’t required.

Best for: Community centres, small courts, and multi-use halls.

8. Indoor Batting Cage Curtains

For cricket, baseball, and softball training, indoor batting cage curtains provide essential safety and separation. These heavy-duty systems are designed for easy retraction, allowing facilities to switch between sports quickly.

Best for: Schools, academies, and training centres that support multiple sports.

Choosing from the 8 Types of Sports Hall Curtains

When specifying sports hall curtains, consider:

• The size and structure of your facility

• How often the curtain will be operated

• Fire and safety compliance with Australian Standards

• Ease of maintenance and long-term reliability

• Visual and acoustic performance

Each curtain type offers its own advantages, and RMA Sport’s experts can guide you in selecting the ideal solution for your design or renovation project.
