Axminster Leisure Centre

Axminster Leisure Centre is part of the LED Community Leisure group, which is run as a charitable trust with 12 facilities across East Devon. LED's aims are to provide facilities for recreation, sport, and cultural pursuits which are of the maximum benefit to the community and accessible to all – improving physical and mental health, building stronger communities, and enabling people to reach their full potential.

Specifying and installing 650m2 of Gerflor’s world class Taraflex® Performance vinyl sports flooring in ‘Light Cherry’ would turn out to be a pivotal decision for Axminster Leisure Centre in East Devon. The refurbishment project to replace the existing flooring in their main sports hall would yield spectacular results for both the operators of the facility and the end users. The indoor sports surface solution that was specified would need to be of the utmost quality and readily available, considering how short the timescales were for the project and would need to be competitively priced for the funds available for this iconic renovation.

“Blisters had formed in the previous rubber-based floor covering which could potentially cause trips and falls. This was a health and safety concern for Leisure East Devon who manage the leisure centre. The new Taraflex® floor is ‘outstanding and first class’ and ‘much nicer than what they had before. At East Devon District Council, we are also extremely pleased with the new Olympic pedigree Taraflex® sports flooring.”

Steve Parker, Area Building Surveyor, East Devon District Council
