3 Comfort Once a sbjective matter the level of comfort can now be measred thanks to revoltionary Independent stdies by one of France s leading Universities. The conclsion saw Taraflex TM offering the highest level of comfort for sers with comfort relating directly to protecting the children. With discomfort being the main reason for non-enjoyment of sport and exercise, Taraflex TM floors assist more than any other floor to ensre that people enjoy their experience of exercising safely.

Taraflex TM flooring ses patented Protecsol srface treatment that is niqe to Gerflor. Some of it s key benefits inclde: - A skin-brn free srface, when yo slide across some floors the heat bilds p and can give grazes or brns, Protecsol redces the friction temperatre by 25% ths minimizing the risk of friction brns. - Protecsol is described as an intelligent srface: it forms the ideal compromise between slide and grip for sport shoes.

4 Maintenance With Maintenance costs over the life of materials far otweighing the initial cost, Gerflor recognise the importance of minimising ongoing costs and disrption to facilities. Unlike more traditional sports floors, the Taraflex TM srface treatment, Protecsol eliminates the need for heavy dty maintenance with no resealing or re-applying treatments. Cleaning becomes less of a brden on a facility s resorces with a dry sweep being the best form of maintenance. We wanted to provide the ppils, staff and local commnity with a new and modern sports facility and we looked at a nmber of soltions that wold enable s to do that. The walls were re painted, repairs to the lighting system were ndertaken and a brand new Taraflex TM Sports floor was installed. This has given s what looks like a million pond vene for a fraction of the price, in fact we spent jst 45k. Jake Collin, Director of Commnity Sport, Cardinal Heenan School Long lasting performance at a low cost Taraflex TM is a hygienic srface with intelligent properties making it a cost effective soltion. Independent testing has proved that or innovative treatments redce both time and costs reqired to protect standard, resilient floor coverings. This process has the doble benefit of both ctting costs and redcing the environmental impact of the prodct. Or niqe Eco-Fit TM free floating installation system also cts laying costs significantly.
