The sports court of a school in Sweden has been fitted with the Bergo Eco Multisport flooring, while the Bergo Eco Tennis flooring from the same company was awarded the innovations label at Domotex 2014.

“The Bergo Eco Multisport flooring is made of 100 per cent recycled and UV-resistant polypropylene in shades of Soft Green and Blue Sea,” a press release from the organiser of Domotex said.

“The grid-like surface prevents slipping and, due to its excellent 'stop-and-go' properties, the flooring is also suited for all types of sports from aerobics to volleyball,” they added.

The new facilities were designed and built by the architect Tor Asbjörnsen from the local planning office.

“Studies have shown that courts with colourful surfaces have a greater potential to motivate people to exercise than do those featuring tarmac surfaces”, Asbjörnsen explained.

He chose Eco Multisport by Bergo because the flooring is made from recycled materials and is therefore eco-friendly while also being extremely versatile.

The flooring is available in a range of light colours that can also be combined and is suited for both indoor and outdoor spaces and can be used in all kinds of weather.

Due to the surface's grid-structure, rainwater drains rapidly and the flooring dries quickly, while in hot weather, the tiles are still pleasant to use without shoes.

According to the press release, the elastic flooring is easy on the back and joints, it's sound-absorbing, easy to clean and extremely durable.

Bergo Eco Multisport can even be fitted on uneven grounds or worn wood surfaces and the tiles are preassembled in units of four and can be easily connected using a rubber mallet.

In 2014, the Bergo Eco Tennis eco-friendly sports flooring was awarded the Innovations@Domotex label in the 'flexible flooring' category.

Like Bergo Eco Multisport, Bergo Eco Tennis belongs to the System-1 product family by Bergo Flooring and the Swedish manufacturer will again exhibit its products at Domotex 2016.

“Elastic flooring for sports facilities is just one example of the many options in contemporary floor coverings that architects and designers can choose from today,” the organiser stated. (AR)
