Case Study: Tarkett Sports

Tarkett Sports built an indoor facility in Pitman, NJ with a 24,000 square feet of surface, that looks like hardwood, but is not. The facility has five basketball courts, that also converts to seven volleyball courts or 15 pickleball courts. It is surfaced with Tarkett's versatile Omnisports Active+ vinyl flooring system, a true multi-use surface. What makes it unique is the Class 3 shock absorption that is simple prepping for many functions. The facility can change from soccer to baseball to basketball to volleyball, to even indoor football on bad weather days. It just takes a minute or two to change from one sport to another. The surface is laid directly on concrete and can be installed quickly. Maintenance is simple too, just a dust mop between games to ensure cleanliness. There is a lot of safety success with this product, and there are less knee and other injuries.
