British Paralympic Association boosted by Gerflor
Leading sports flooring specialist, Gerflor, has selected the British Paralympic Association as the chosen charity which will benefit from all sorts of fundraising activities in 2006.
The health club's flooring contractors recommended Taraflex Sport M+ to install on its four badminton courts.
Mike Cohen, racquets manager at Esporta Hamilton said, "We used to place badminton mats onto the tennis court flooring, which wasn't ideal".
"The area is also used for everything from five-a-side football and touch rugby to gymnastics".
"Taraflex has been ideal".
"It is durable and not hard on the feet and is versatile enough to be used for a range of activities".
Unlike a traditional sprung floor, Taraflex offers the advantages of both point and area elastic qualities to ensure better ball performance in a sport like football, whereas for badminton players, its appeal lies in the ability for them to slide and absorb impacts when they jump to hit a shot.
This helps to reduce the risk of sports-related injuries, especially friction burns and shin splints.
A further benefit to Esporta Hamilton is the low cost of maintenance over the life of the floorcovering.
Taraflex features Gerflor's Protecsol protection ensures no polishing is needed".
"The Taraflex flooring is very easy to clean and maintain, despite being used almost continuously for such a wide range of activities," said Cohen.
Taraflex Sports is also completely recyclable and ISO 14001 certified.
