Taraflex

Taraflex is a brand of vinyl sports flooring manufactured by Tarkett, designed for indoor sports facilities such as gymnasiums, schools, and arenas. It is available in sheet vinyl and modular tile formats, offering a durable, low-maintenance surface for a wide range of athletic activities.

The flooring combines a vinyl wear layer with a cushioned backing to provide impact absorption, consistent surface feel, and good ball rebound characteristics. Taraflex floors are designed to deliver reliable traction, moisture resistance, and ease of cleaning, with various thicknesses, textures, and colors to suit different sports and aesthetic preferences. The product line is used for activities including basketball, volleyball, badminton, handball, futsal, and multi-purpose gym use.

Installation and maintenance: Taraflex surfaces are typically installed by professional contractors. Sheet formats may be welded or seam-sealed, while modular tiles can be joined via interlocking systems or fixed placements. Routine maintenance involves regular cleaning with neutral pH detergents and damp mopping; the manufacturer’s guidelines advise avoiding harsh cleaners and wax coatings that could affect traction or surface performance. Periodic inspections and refinishing may be recommended to preserve playing characteristics over time.

Applications and reception: Taraflex floors are widely used in educational facilities, community centers, and professional venues requiring durable, safe indoor sports surfaces. The brand is recognized for providing consistent playing characteristics, durability, and straightforward maintenance across its range of sports flooring solutions.
