Peter Evans Flooring secure the contract to install a new sports hall floor at Penlan Leisure Centre in Penlan, Swansea, on behalf of Swansea City Council.

Leading flooring contractors, Peter Evans Flooring of Barry, Mid Glamorgan boast an impressive portfolio of successful flooring installations within the leisure sector, and they are in no doubt that this experience played a vital role in them securing the contract to install a new sports hall floor at Penlan Leisure Centre in Penlan, Swansea, on behalf of Swansea City Council.

Environments such as sports halls will naturally expect heavy foot traffic, so it was vital to specify a floorcovering that had been specifically developed for the sports arena, and will provide performance, durability and ease of cleaning.

In addition, the entire refurbishment project needed to be cost effective and deliver rapid installation, thereby allowing the sports hall to be in use at the earliest possible opportunity.

Once the existing floor surface was removed, Peter Evans Flooring applied a Surface Damp Proof Membrane, followed by a layer of latex smoothing compound, which would provide the required flat and smooth surface.

Established as the leading name in technically advanced sports floorcoverings, Gerflor Taraflex Sport Performance Plus was specified.

Offering unbeatable comfort and protection, the new CXP double density foam backing combined with the new surface complex, the D-Max, has made Taraflex Performance Plus simply the highest performance vinyl sports flooring on the market.

Taraflex Sport Performance Plus offers totally new sensations in comfort for the protection of all sports persons.

Available in a range of colours and designs, performance seeking athletes and growing children will experience unequalled safety at over 41% shock absorption, which considerably minimizes the risk of injury.

"The Taraflex Sport Performance Plus floor will provide regular users, community groups and schools with a high performance floor suitable for a variety of sporting activities".

"We were delighted with the end result as the new sports hall looked wonderful" remarked Glyn Thomas, Managing Director of Peter Evans Flooring.
