Kährs and Reflex Sports join forces

Europe's largest wood flooring manufacturer, Kährs has formed a new partnership with Reflex Sports Ltd - the UK's leading supplier of engineered timber sports floor systems. The new partnership will centre on the specification of Kährs all-in-one Activity Floor, bringing the product's performance and installation benefits to new markets within the sports and leisure sector. Kährs Activity Floor is fully compliant to DIN and new EU standards and is the official FISAF floor for the World & European Aerobics Championships through to 2011.

The new partnership, led by Kährs National Project Manager, Tony Bicknell, brings together a wealth of product and technical sports experience, as well as the practical benefits of increased UK stock and fast delivery. Current Kährs specifications, by Reflex Sports, include a variety of gymnasiums, sports halls and school activity floors.

Richard Darby, Managing Director at Reflex commented, "We're delighted to be working in partnership with Kährs, promoting innovative and exciting sports floor solutions. Kährs has a great reputation for quality products and manufacturing processes, and we had the pleasure of seeing these in action during a recent visit to its factory in Nybro, Sweden; we were particularly impressed by the scale of the plant and the amount of quality checks throughout the manufacturing process.

Kährs Activity Floor is an exciting product and we've already had a great reaction from Architects and Contractors within the industry. We look forward to a long and prosperous future working with Kährs!" Featuring integral shock-absorption and reinforcement properties, Kährs Activity Floor can be laid directly onto a level subfloor, eliminating the need for additional battens and fittings. During installation, Kährs glueless Woodloc® joint gives strength, perfect joints between boards and enables the floor to be laid 50% more quickly than a traditional sports floor; it can also be easily removed for relaying elsewhere, if required.
