Desperate times need not mean desperate measures!
Indoor sports floors that have ‘seen better days’ don’t always have to be uplifted and replaced. Money can be saved if you shop around for reputable refurbishment alternatives

John Havill, chair of the Three Rivers Partnership in Gillingham says: “When I think how bad the sports hall floor looked before and how it looks now it’s quite remarkable. Gerflor’s assistance in providing the project management was hugely appreciated and the floor refurbishment came in on time and on budget. Our customers love it, in particu- lar the badminton club members – some of whom have said that this is the best sports floor they’ve played on.”

Dean Page, estates manager of St Terresa’s School in Dorking, Surrey, was in charge of overlaying the ex- isting sports hall floor. He wanted a fast track solution to improve stu- dents’ sporting experience and act as a stop gap until a new sports facility could be constructed in the future. Commenting on the project, Page says: “The floor has proven to be ex- tremely popular with the pupils and staff and has improved the playing surface by 100 per cent. We’ve been very happy with Gerflor’s customer service, the cost, the installation and the after sales support. I have no hesitation in recommending the com- pany and Taraflex™ to others.“
Taraflex™ is being installed on top of a number of existing surfaces – reducing cost, down-time and the environmental impact a full replacement would have on land fill. Call sport manager Darren Wood on 07836 366579 for more details or visit
