Gerflor completes major fit-out at Axholme North Leisure Centre

Sports flooring specialist Gerflor has completed a major fit-out at the new Axholme North Leisure Centre in the Isle of Axholme, North Lincolnshire.

A purpose-built centre, the Axholme North Leisure Centre is housed inside a converted secondary school and offers four-lane, 25m (82ft) swimming pool, a multi-use fitness studio, a 16-station gym, as well as a 9v9 football pitch and netball and tennis courts.

A total of five of Gerflor's flooring solutions were installed throughout the centre by Paynters Contract Flooring, including the Taralay Impression Control flooring. Fitted in the customer-facing areas, Taralay is a high-performance option that combines slip resistance with a 'design-led' aesthetic.

Gerflor's Taraflex Comfort in Oak was fitted in the multi-use fitness studio, while Gerflor's Mipolam Cosmo homogenous flooring was installed in the fitness and storage areas.

Faye Colver, area sports facilities manager at Axholme North Leisure Centre, said: "We are very happy witht he results. The flooring specifications were based on durability, performance and lifespan. Gerflor's floorings are continuing to do their job as our new leisure centre is steadily growing in capacity as more members take part in the leisure activities we can now offer."

David Loud, estimator at Paynters Contract Flooring, said: "Gerflor products were pre-specified to the client's requirements at tender stage."

"Gerflor is one of the main suppliers of these types of flooring and we find their products particularly flexible and good to work with," Loud added.
