A wide range of colours makes everroll® the sports flooring of choice for projects where aesthetics and corporate brand are as important as performance. Available in standard rolls.

More and more gymnasiums are being designed and built, many of which are located in already occupied buildings whether that be residential or commercial and this can itself be problematic due to the activities that take place, particularly so in the ‘free weights’ area. The noise and vibration generated from the dropping of weights, etc. can be very problematic and can often result in noise abatement orders and remedial works can often be costly, but in many cases essential.
To avoid such problems ‘subjective testing’ should be carried out by independent acoustic consultants to ensure the noise and structural vibrations generated are assessed and adequately treated to avoid any potential complaints. This is a process whereby several samples of acoustic and vibration materials are built up off the floor with weights then dropped from a specific height, generally waist height to determine the forces applied. From this the resultant values can be assessed to determine the most effective build-up to achieve the desired natural frequency or ambient noise levels.
