King is a leading interactive entertainment company for the mobile world, with people all around the world playing one or more of their games - Candy Crush, Farm Heroes, Pet Rescue or Bubble Witch.
No forward-thinking company like King would be complete without an on-site fitness suite and gym. It’s their commitment that everybody in the company should be healthy and happy. No bad thing.
In providing the very best sports and gym equipment King's project manager Brondie McNamara also wanted to ensure the staff got the very best flooring for the gym, which could provide comfort, safety and performance, together with looking amazing. Brondie specified Gerflor, choosing some 210m2 Gerflor’s Taraflex® Sport M Performance vinyl sports flooring in three pulsating colours; Pink, Silver Grey and London Light Blue.
Taraflex® vinyl sports flooring has been used in many international and local sporting events and is available in 17 colours and three wood-effect designs.
The Sport M Performance product offers a P2 category shock absorbency 25% to 35% and meets the EN 14904 Standard for indoor sports surfaces. Taraflex® is recognised for providing durability, safety and comfort without impairing performance. The range also offers greater than 45% force reduction, making it unrivalled in the marketplace in terms of offering comfort for users. Taraflex® meets the EN Standard of 22196 for antibacterial activity (E. coli - S. aureus - MRSA) (3) returning >99% levels of growth inhibition.
The product is also treated with Protecsol®, which renders polish redundant and is triple action meaning no polish is ever required, it contributes to easy maintenance and is anti-friction burn and slide/grip. Taraflex® has a double density foam backing and with another bonus, it’s environmentally friendly.
Brondie went on to say: “The Taraflex flooring is quiet, resilient and very hard wearing. Our staff love it and it’s great for cutting in designs which is key to King. We have a very vibrant corporate set of colours and this needs to be reflected in the flooring wherever possible. Gerflor flooring does this.
"The current product looks great. In fact, it still looks brand new. My contractors choose Gerflor a lot of the time for other projects. It’s easy to lay and work with and the quality is there. After all, we don’t want to be constantly replacing flooring. Its false economy to specify a lesser-quality
product. Gerflor products are also very easy to clean and the durability is there too."
