Rural college goes for Gerflor
Sports flooring specialist Gerflor has completed a challenging sports hall refurbishment at the Oatridge Campus of Scotland's Rural College in West Lothian.
The new sports floor had to be installed on the concrete base of a former tractor shed.
The unheated hall had high moisture content so the playing surface had to be robust enough to cope with both the damp and the extremes of temperature.
The project managers – construction consultancy Thomas and Adamson – decided to go with 450sq m of Gerflor's Taraflex Sport M Evolution flooring, installed with Gerflor's Dry-Tex system, which uses the high moisture content as an essential part of the bonding process.
Andrew Isherwood, from Thomas and Adamson, said: "The old surface was contract carpet laid down on to the concrete floor and was not conducive to good sports.
"The college also wanted a surface that would reduce the risk of injury, as it was worried about students' wellbeing on such a hard floor."
The surface was laid by contractors Veitchi Flooring.
Taraflex vinyl sports floor solutions have featured at every Olympic Games since 1976.
