Kährs installed at Consett’s state-of-the-art Academy

Kährs Oak Siena has been installed, by Reflex Sports, at Durham’s new Consett Academy. The new facility provides state-of-the-art learning facilities for 1700 students, in Consett, County Durham. Kährs high performance wood floor was installed as part of the £44 million regeneration project, by Carillion plc, which incorporated the Academy and Consett Leisure Centre.

The new academy and leisure centre replaces the Moorside Community Technology College and Consett Community Sports College, providing education for 11-19 year olds and leisure facilities for the school and local community. Kährs Oak Sienna was specified throughout the 350m² gymnasium, which includes cardio-vascular, functional training and weights areas. The three-strip design was laid floating over a plywood deck and Kährs Tuplex underlay, which provides a high performance moisture barrier and acoustic benefits. Kährs’ stairnosings were also used to create a neat, safe finish on stair works within the gymnasium.

Kährs Oak Siena is a honey-toned wood floor from the European Naturals Collection. It is offered with a durable matt lacquer, satin lacquer or oil prefinish and features Kährs’ high performance, multi-layered construction for enhanced stability.
