The Friar Park Millennium Centre in Wednesbury was in dire need of a fast-track refurbishment for their leisure facility. Their existing Linoleum was unsafe, not fit for purpose, beyond economical repair and would need to be replaced with an alternative and affordable solution. Gerflor’s Taraflex^® sports flooring would be specified for this prestigious project.

The client chose Taraflex^® Evolution thanks to it being extremely durable and hard-wearing, whilst not compromising on delivering the necessary safety and comfort for facility users. Over 300m2 of Taraflex^® Olympic pedigree sports surface was installed.

Chris Newey, Gerflor Area Sales Manager, West Midlands said at the time, “The customer is really pleased with their new Taraflex sports floor, which has totally transformed the hall giving it a fresh and contemporary look that will last for many years to come.”

The installation element of the Friar Park project was undertaken by Birmingham-based Pinnacle Flooring Ltd. Commenting on the installation Aaron Jennings, Estimating Manager, Pinnacle Flooring said, “Our client ‘Friar Park Millennium Centre’ are extremely delighted with the final result. The installation of Gerflor’s Taraflex sports flooring has surpassed the end users’ expectations. We would certainly specify Gerflor products on future projects due their high levels of quality and extreme durability.”

Julie Jones, CEO of Friar Park Millennium Centre commented, “This iconic refurbishment was absolutely necessary for all the users of the facility today and also the future generations of tomorrow. We are confident that our choice in selecting Gerflor’s Taraflex sports flooring will future proof our building interiors and we would definitely specify Gerflor products for other future projects.”
