Eco-Fit system that is eco-friendly and easy to install
Gerflor, leading the way forward in flooring as an innovator not an imitator.
Allowing a sports centre or school to have a new sports floor in just three days, the innovative Taraflex™ Eco-Fit System from Gerflor is an eco-friendly, free-floating installation solution that saves time and money and achieves the lowest lifecycle cost. It minimises downtime by allowing existing sports surfaces or multi-purpose floors to be left in place and overlaid; and 80% less adhesive is required so VOC emissions are also reduced.
The Taraflex™ Eco-Fit system is suitable for sports and community projects and is ideal for use over existing sports floorings, such as resin, parquet and PVC, where there is no risk of rising dampness. It offers a solution on new surfaces, on upper floors, over service ducts or sealing membranes, and flat floor surfaces in accordance with EN Standard 14904. Quick and simple installation means that, on average, two installers laying the floor will take two days less to complete a 1000m² sports hall when compared with standard installations that need to be secured to the floor with adhesive.
A key element of Eco-Fit is the surface complex, D-Max+, which is reinforced with a double fibreglass grid to provide the material with strength and excellent dimensional stability. As an eco-friendly solution, it is easy to repair during the material’s life while end-of-life material recycling is simple. Concrete no longer has to be torn up when stripping floors and the Eco-Fit System installation is fully integrated into Gerflor’s eco-friendly programme.
Gerflor, through IHF and FIVB agreements, supplied courts for handball and volleyball tournaments during the Olympic Games in London 2012. Taraflex™ is the most widely specified sports surface in the world.
The Eco-Fit System is available with Taraflex™ Multi-Use 6.2, Sport M Evolution and Sport M Performance.
