System Overview

The Action Flex system is built on three core layers that work together to deliver comfort, performance and long-term resilience. Each component is designed to meet EN14904 requirements and ensure reliable performance in high-use environments.

What’s Inside the System:

1. Elastic Foam Layer
This technical under layer absorbs impact and provides shock absorption across the entire surface. It helps reduce stress on joints, enhances comfort underfoot and supports player safety.

2. Load Distribution Board
Positioned above the elastic layer, this board ensures strength, stability and even pressure distribution. It plays a key role in delivering uniform ball response and maintaining structural integrity.

3. Engineered Timber Surface
The final layer is a pre-finished engineered hardwood surface, available in a variety of timber species and finishes. It’s designed for durability, easy maintenance and a clean, professional appearance in school gyms, sports halls and leisure environments.

Where Action Flex Works Best

Action Flex is designed for spaces that demand high performance and visual appeal, without compromising on floor height or compliance. Its versatility makes it a trusted solution across education, community, and commercial sectors.

It’s an ideal fit for a range of spaces, including:

School gymnasiums: Perfect for high-traffic PE spaces that need resilience, comfort and consistent performance throughout the day.

Multi-purpose sports halls: Handles a range of activities from competitive sport to assemblies, offering a reliable surface for all uses.

Community and council leisure facilities: Durable and low-maintenance for busy public spaces where usage varies throughout the week.

Training and fitness studios: Provides shock absorption and stability for everything from strength circuits to group classes.

Refurbishment projects: Low-profile build makes Action Flex ideal for overlay installations, particularly where floor height is limited or subfloor changes are impractical.
