Gerflor and InstaCoustic produce sports flooring

A high performance sports floor system, developed through a partnership between Gerflor and InstaCoustic, has been installed for the first time in the UK.

The impact and energy absorbing floor has been installed at the Moat House Leisure and Neighbourhood Centre in Coventry.

It is suitable for a wide range of sports and non-sporting activities.

The flooring system is quick to install and is suitable for such an application as it is slim, lightweight, and cost-effective.

The sprung flooring comprises of Gerflor's Taraflex Sport M+, combined with a loose laid undercarriage system from InstaCoustic made up of undulating recycled rubber crumb waves, pre-bonded to 18mm sustainably sourced plywood.

The combined elastic system offers a wide multi-use versatility between the sports to be played, the level of sport and the varying user profiles.

The floor is fully compliant with European standards for indoor sports, meeting BS EN 14904 and achieving Type C4 floor requirements.

Quick and easy to install onto a level subfloor, the finished flooring is 35mm thick with the individual panels weigh 13kg.

The Coventry installation took three days where the use of other undercarriage systems, an installation of this size would normally take around a week.

Triple-action Protecsol within Gerflor's Taraflex sports flooring provides an intelligent surface treatment which is friction burn free and low maintenance.

The flooring also incorporates a multi-layered surface, foam backing and Sanosol antibacterial and fungicidal treatment.
