Woodbridge School, Suffolk

Upgrading a School Sports Hall Without Starting from Scratch

Client: Woodbridge School
Location: Suffolk
Floor Area: 1,054m²
Previous Surface: Granwood
System Installed:Pulastic® overlay with shock pad and two-tone PU finish (Capri Blue & Sky Blue)

Woodbridge School is a leading independent day and boarding school in Suffolk, with a strong reputation for academic achievement and co-curricular excellence. As part of wider improvements to their sports facilities, the school sought to upgrade its 1,054m² Granwood sports hall floor but without the time, cost or disruption of a full floor removal.

The existing surface had become tired and less responsive, offering limited comfort for students during daily use. Reflex Sports were brought in to deliver a solution that could overlay the old system while raising the standard of performance, safety and appearance.

Our Approach

We specified a Pulastic® sports flooring system designed to meet EN14904 standards for sports flooring. The system included a shock-absorbing elastic pad installed over the existing Granwood floor, followed by a seamless polyurethane (PU) surface.

To bring new energy and clarity to the space, the school chose a striking two-tone colour scheme in Capri Blue and Sky Blue. This finish modernised the look of the hall while providing subtle visual zoning to support PE lessons, assemblies and indoor sport.

The full installation was carefully scheduled to avoid unnecessary downtime, with the hall ready for use within a tight turnaround.
