Durant Surfacing: Specialists in Sports Flooring

We are specialist installers of Gerflor’s Taraflex® flooring, with direct training from Gerflor’s Technocentre in France. We exclusively work with Gerflor because of the exceptional flexibility and quality their Taraflex® products provide.

For over 60 years, Taraflex® has been the preferred choice for indoor sports flooring, featured at every Olympic Games since Montreal 1976. Taraflex® is especially suited for educational sports halls, offering up to 88% impact protection, significantly reducing the risk of injury compared to traditional parquet wood floors, which provide less than 20% impact protection.

With a variety of colours and designs, Taraflex® serves over 6 million children worldwide, ensuring safety across three key areas: Instant Impact Protection, Repeat Impact, and Protection against Sprains and Strains. It’s the ideal flooring for both sports and educational environments.
