The installation of the Gerflor products was undertaken by Ipswich-based Cadman Flooring. I am also aware that Gerflor specialise in world class sports flooring and have the option of numerous systems for different levels of performance, or to accommodate different types of sub-floor construction found in refurbishment projects such as Colchester Academy.” Ben Jeapes, Senior Building Surveyor at Barker Associates commented, “I have specified Gerflor products in the past and know that they provide excellent quality safety flooring. The responsibility for delivering the design and finish for the school’s sports halls would fall to Braintree-based architectural practice- Barker Associates. For this prestigious education establishment, Gerflor would supply a total of 552m2 of their world class Taraflex ® Performance vinyl sports flooring for the sports hall, and 258m2 of their Taraflex ® Combi 85 System in Evolution for their dance studio. When Colchester Academy in Essex required a new sports floor for their main hall and their dance studio, they turned to international flooring specialist Gerflor for an Olympic pedigree solution. The support from their specification and technical teams and ability to react quickly to queries was world class.” Stephanie Taylor concluded,” We would definitely specify Gerflor products again. You can clearly see their fun energy and positive spirit infused in their design.” Lewis Leadeatt, Area Specification Manager, Gerflor Flooring and Gradus Accessories commented,” It was a great pleasure working with the M1NT Studio on the M.A.D.E project. The range of colourways and the competitive price point also made it stand out from the crowd.” Stephanie Taylor, Director, and Interior Designer M1NT Studio commented, “We loved how the Gradus Lunar Carpet Tiles were unique by taking inspiration from the surface of the moon, it was very much forward thinking like our client. Mathew Fleming, Commercial Director, FK Restorations said, “As the designs were being developed the Gradus Lunar carpet collection from Gerflor, had just been launched and M1NT Studio strongly felt it had a lot of synergies with our design intent.” M1NT Studios, on behalf of their client, Mahindra Advanced Design Europe (M.A.D.E), would, through the appointed contractor, FK Restorations - be responsible for the final overall look of the finished project.

For this major refurbishment, Gerflor would supply over 1100m2 of Gradus Lunar Carpets, specifying ‘Rook’ and ‘Moretus’ as the colour choices. When a Manchester-based interior design company needed to source high quality flooring for their client’s office premises, they turned to international flooring specialist Gerflor for a fit for purpose solution.
