The refurbishment of the games hall at Ardrossan Academy in Ayrshire, includes the installation of around 500m² of maple wood-effect Polyflor Sport 67 indoor sports flooring, complete with line markings for various sporting activities.

“The flooring combines precisely the performance, appearance and cost-effectiveness we were looking for - an ideal choice,” says Michael McIntosh, Senior Manager with the technical services department at North Ayrshire Council.
