Gerflor North America has been producing synthetic indoor sports flooring since 1947. More than 445 million square feet of its Taraflex flooring has been installed worldwide in thousands of athletic facilities, educational buildings, fitness and recreational centers, religious institutions and government buildings.

Gerflor's sports flooring expertise guarantees attractive permanent and portable surfaces with performance, comfort, safety and durability. Its Taraflex product line offers 14 different surfaces in wide color ranges for professional and competitive sports, fitness and training programs, recreation and multipurpose uses. The multi-layered construction of 100% pure vinyl, reinforced fiberglass grid and closed-cell foam backing provides superior shock absorption, helps fight fatigue, allows accurate pivoting and delivers consistent ball bounce. Proprietary product treatments reduce chances of skin infections by preventing bacteria and fungus growth, minimize friction burn risk and create an impermeable surface that resists dirt and cleans easily with minimal amounts of water and energy.

Taraflex floors are 100% recyclable with 43% recycled content, rate very low in VOC emissions, can be used with low VOC adhesives and game line marking paint. They contribute to LEED credits. Gerflor is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council. Since 1976, Taraflex courts have appeared at nine consecutive summer Olympic Games. Gerflor and the FIVB (International Volleyball Federation) extended their partnership for Taraflex court usage at every FIVB-sanctioned competition and event internationally through 2012. Taraflex floors meet and exceed the stringent performance standards mandated by all major flooring associations, are ISO 9001 and 14001 certified, and tested according to EN 14904 and DIN V 18032-2 (April 2001) standards.
