4 Sports Flooring Options We are often asked why choose an area elastic sports floor over a point elastic sports floor system? We offer both and detail the principal differences between them. Area Elastic Point Elastic Combined Elastic Area elastic floors deflect an impact over a wide surface area. This provides high levels of shock absorption and comfort, therefore offering higher levels of performance and reduced fatigue to an athlete. Point elastic foam backed, systems have less shock absorption and are prone to indentation. The construction of a point elastic system can hinder performance such as slowing down the movement of wheelchairs. Combined elastic floors are area elastic systems finished with a point elastic surface. They offer all the benefits of an area elastic floor but also all the drawbacks of a point elastic surface. If asked, we would generally recommend an area elastic sports floor.

5 Classification of Sports Floors All area, combined and point elastic sports floors must meet the European Standard for Sports Floors BS EN In doing so they are further classified, based on their shock absorption and vertical deformation performance as A3 and A4 for area elastic floors, C3 and C4 for combined elastic floors or P1, P2 and P3 for point elastic floors. Below is a table showing the shock absorption and vertical deformation characteristics that each type of floor system must meet under the BS EN standard. Based on this table an A4 or C4 floor provides the highest performance. All combined elastic floors however come at a premium in terms of cost whilst also having the limitations of a point elastic surface. Shock Absorption (%) Vertical Deformation (mm) Area Elastic (A) Combined Elastic (C) Point Elastic (P) Area Elastic (A) Combined Elastic (C) Point Elastic (P) 1 25 < < <55 45 < <75 55 < < < < <5.0 Shock absorption and vertical deformation are not the only characteristics of the BS EN standard, all floors must also achieve a range of other criteria to gain classification. We only offer floors that are Sport England compliant and meet the European Standard.

6 Sports Flooring Systems We offer a range of area elastic and point elastic sports flooring systems which are Sport England compliant and meet the European Standard. Before choosing your flooring system there are a number of considerations: Sport specific floor or multi-sport? Community use non-sport? Portable or retractable seating? Sports performance requirements? Equality Act compliance wheelchair use? Maintenance budget? Indentation and surface protection? In the table below we provide some guidance to help you consider which sports floor system is appropriate for your requirements. Usually this is the start of the process that will help us to guide you through the range of options available.

7 Choice of Surface Finish Your first choice may be whether to choose a timber or synthetic surface. Many people prefer the aesthetic appearance of timber however associated with this choice are high life cycle costs. Our Helsinki and Academy hardwood floors use an engineered board which gives enhanced performance and dimensional stability provided by the nature of their construction when compared to a solid hardwood floor. Our systems are available in a variety of wood species including: European Oak Canadian Maple We offer a range of high performance synthetic surface finishes. Each surface option has various features and benefits which require detailed consideration to meet your specific needs. Sport Vinyl Sport Linoleum Sport Polyurethane Sport Rubber

10 Maintenance Services As well as providing detailed care and maintenance instructions, we offer services to help preserve or rejuvenate your sports floor including, scrub and reseal, sand and reseal and reline marking. Good maintenance is not only vital to maintaining the performance of your floor but also to preserve your warranty. Floor Protection Floor protection should be considered to maintain your sports floors appearance and to prolong its life. The most effective solution is carpet tiles which provide high levels of protection and also improve the acoustics. The aesthetics of the hall will be enhanced, making the space far more functional for non-sport social events, as well as during exams when desks and chairs are used in the hall. Acoustic Protective Walls In today s high performance sports halls the next innovation is the protective wall. The area elastic wall is designed to improve acoustics whilst also absorbing up to 60% of an impact. This significantly reduces the risk of injury to an athlete. The systems can be installed on unplastered or uneven walls making installation quick and easy while also reducing finishing costs.
