Gerflor’s Taraflex® is the leading sustainable choice for indoor sports flooring worldwide, offering a comprehensive portfolio tailored to meet the diverse needs of athletes, sports teams, and all users regardless of age and ability for exercising and leisure activities.

By 2025, Gerflor aims to achieve a number of environmental targets which includes a 20% reduction in its carbon footprint, together with delivering 10% bio-based content with 30% of their products made of recycled content.

The overall aim is to also enable 35% of future installations to be loose laid. This initiative will be bolstered by delivering 60,000 tons of annual recycling coupled with 81% of their products made of bio-content, mineral and recycled material. It’s a bold eco-move to make Gerflor the real champions in sustainability.

Commenting on the sustainability features of Taraflex® David Carter, Gerflor National Sales Manager Sports Flooring said: “Thanks to its high natural and recycled content and comprehensive eco-design, Taraflex achieves an exemplary 43% smaller carbon footprint than the previous version, which is a notable choice for any decarbonising building interior projects. 81% of the new Taraflex® sports flooring is made from salt, recycled content, bio content, and chalk”.

With low VOC emissions and allergen-free properties, Taraflex® fosters a healthy indoor environment. It is designed to support the well-being of everyone, from athletes to spectators, contributing to cleaner air quality and improved safety.

The all-important element of safety is also seen as a crucial factor in delivering the high quality synonymous with this world class sports floor, which is crafted for excellent fall protection, helping to minimise the risk of injuries. Taraflex® is supremely versatile and is suitable for a variety of uses—from intense athletic events to community gatherings.

As with most end user requirements the durability of any sports floor plays a vital role in the final specification decision. Taraflex® is built to withstand rigorous sports activities, and is suitable for high foot traffic. It has become the leading choice in sports flooring for a large selection of UK sports and leisure venues, as well as in the Education and Public sectors.

David Carter, further commented: “The new Taraflex sports floor is more than just a flooring solution, as it helps to amplify the energy and performance of athletes during every match or game, providing a powerful foundation for success.”
