MONTREAL, CANADA (June 20, 2011) – With an improved backing system, Tarkett Sports’ Omnisports 8.3 GreenLay™ is now a category 3 shock absorbing sports floor. According to the ASTM F2772 standard, Category 3 flooring offers shock absorption between 34% and 45% while maintaining a ball-rebound factor above 90%. In relation to categories 1 and 2, this means optimal game performance with a reduced likelihood of injury due to impact; as a category 3 sports floor, Omnisports 8.3 GreenLay™ offers an ideal solution to sports facilities that value quality game-play and safety.
In addition to the advantages of a category 3 surface, Omnisports 8.3 GreenLay™ is installed with 98% less adhesive than other sports floors. It can also tolerate up to 92% relative humidity or 15 lbs. of moisture! This means quick installation, reduced cost, and fewer problems related to moisture conditions. Most importantly for the environment, Omnisports 8.3 GreenLay™ is easier to recycle than alternative sports floors. With over 250,000 sq. ft. of Omnisports 8.3 GreenLay™ and Omnisports 6.5 GreenLay™ installed in North America, GreenLay™ is becoming the new standard for high quality sports flooring.
