  • the floor elements are simply laid on the subfloor and assembled via connecting means to form a large-area floor. In the case of wear or a desired change in the look of the floor, the floor can be replaced easily and quickly. Thus, can be achieved with comparatively simple means an attractive design of a gym, exercise or gym, which can be easily and quickly adapted to changing requirements.

  • the floor element makes it possible to dispense with an additional gymnastics, fitness or gymnastics mat for the protection of athletes, since it can take over this protective function itself due to its cushioning properties. Additional protective mats can thus be saved, so that, for example, gymnastics courses without disturbing and time-consuming laying before a course taking place and re-stowing individual gymnastic mats can take place after completion of a course.
  • the floor according to the invention made of permanently elastic PUR soft integral foam combines load-reducing and non-slip features and offers the athlete maximum comfort and protection.
