Gym Flooring Project at Stade-Lausanne

The Challenge:

A facility manager at the Stade-Lausanne Tennis Club in Switzerland, reached out to Flexi-Tile to find out if interlocking floor tiles are suitable for gym environments.

Jean-Marc explained that the gym floor at the tennis club was showing signs of wear and tear. The floor was old and areas of the floors showed cracks which was a health and safety concern for the club. 

Jean-Marc had experienced Flex-Tile floor tiles at another gym where he had worked previously, and was impressed with the quality. Eager to find out more about the features and benefits of flexi-Tile, he contacted our flooring team to discuss a gym refurbishment project for Stade-Lausanne.
