Choosing the right sports flooring system often comes down to balancing performance, compliance and practical installation. Action Flex brings these elements together in a low profile timber system for school sports halls, gymnasiums and multi use facilities. Its three layer construction creates a reliable sprung surface that feels comfortable underfoot, performs well in daily use and meets the standards required across education and leisure environments.
Some facilities cannot accommodate a higher floor level due to existing thresholds, fixed subfloors or accessibility requirements. Action Flex provides a low construction height solution that introduces a sprung, area elastic surface without structural changes. It works well for upgrading older sports halls, improving gymnasium flooring or creating a new performance surface where floor depth is limited.
At the core of the system is a three layer build designed for modern indoor sports spaces. The elastic foam layer supports shock absorption across the entire floor, the load distribution board adds stability and the prefinished engineered timber surface provides a clean, durable finish. The result is a stable, consistent surface suitable for basketball, badminton, PE lessons and a wide range of indoor activities.
Action Flex is independently tested to EN14904 for ball response, shock absorption and vertical deformation, and meets Sport England and ESFA guidance used across schools and community projects. The engineered surface is slip-resistant, compatible with all standard sports line markings and available in FSC® or PEFC® certified timber options. It’s a reliable choice for busy facilities that need proven safety, performance and long-term durability.
Provides consistent shock absorption across the entire surface, improving comfort and supporting safe movement during PE, sport and fitness activities.
Adds strength and stability by spreading pressure evenly across the floor, helping maintain ball response and protecting the surface from equipment, seating and regular high footfall.
A prefinished hardwood layer available in a range of timber options, including FSC® and PEFC® certified choices. Durable, easy to maintain and designed to give facilities a clean, professional finish.
School sports halls shift constantly between PE lessons, clubs and general activity. Action Flex provides a comfortable, resilient surface that performs consistently throughout the day and holds up well to high footfall. It gives schools a dependable long-term floor that supports safe movement, varied indoor sport and a range of classroom-based activities, keeping facilities presentable and ready for use.
Multi-purpose halls often need to move quickly between sport, equipment-heavy sessions, exams, performances and community bookings. Action Flex offers the stability needed for these varied setups and copes well with moveable staging, benches and seating. It helps teams manage fast turnarounds without worrying about marking, surface damage or inconsistent performance, supporting a genuinely versatile, multi-use space.
Community and leisure venues manage a wide mix of users with little downtime for maintenance. Action Flex is built to stay looking good under continual public use and allows staff to keep the hall clean and ready with minimal effort. Its durability supports reliable booking schedules, accommodates everything from casual indoor sport to organised classes and helps reduce long-term running costs for busy facilities.
Studios and training rooms need a floor that performs well during circuits, classes and general fitness activity. The sprung construction of Action Flex helps reduce stress on joints while offering the stability needed for controlled movement, indoor sport training and structured group sessions. It provides a dependable surface that instructors and participants can use confidently throughout the day.
Many older halls cannot accommodate deeper floor systems or disruptive subfloor works. The low-profile build of Action Flex makes it suitable for overlay installations where maintaining existing levels is essential. It improves performance, comfort and appearance without extensive structural changes, offering a practical upgrade path for spaces looking to modernise their indoor sports flooring in a straightforward and cost-effective way.
Action Flex installs cleanly and efficiently, with a build designed to minimise downtime in busy sports halls and gymnasium spaces. It works over suitable subfloors and is often chosen for refurbishment projects where a fast, predictable turnaround is essential. The low profile construction also helps maintain existing thresholds, access levels and door lines without requiring structural changes.
The pre-finished engineered timber surface performs well under regular indoor sport and multi-use activity. It resists scuffing from day-to-day PE lessons, training sessions and community bookings, and its smooth finish is easy to clean. This helps facilities keep long term maintenance costs low while maintaining a professional appearance throughout the year.
Action Flex is available with FSC® or PEFC® certified hardwood surfaces for projects that prioritise responsible sourcing. These sustainable options meet the requirements of education, leisure and public sector schemes while still providing the performance expected from a modern sprung indoor sports floor. It supports environmental targets without compromising durability or playing quality.
Every project follows a clear, structured process designed to give you confidence at each stage. From the initial survey to installation and aftercare, our team ensures your new flooring system is delivered smoothly, safely and to the highest standard.
We begin by understanding your space, performance needs and any floor height or subfloor constraints. Our team surveys the area, reviews existing conditions and confirms the most suitable Action Flex setup for your project.
We prepare a clear specification covering system build-up, finishes and compliance requirements. This gives architects, contractors and site teams the information they need before work begins.
Our installation teams fit the system with precision, working to agreed timelines to minimise disruption. Performance and consistency are checked throughout to ensure the floor meets the required standards.
Once installed, we provide guidance on cleaning, maintenance and long-term performance. Our team remains available for ongoing support to help the floor perform at its best for years to come.
