However, the extremely fast construction period meant the moisture levels within the sub-floor were likely to be too high, a familiar enemy to all flooring installations. This was overcome using the new innovation from Gerflor - Dry-Tex. Dove Construction commented, “rather than having to cut costs by using an inferior product, the Dry-Tex backing to the Taraflex Sport M Plus saved the project a couple of thousand of pounds”.
The BS8204 standard requires a floor to reach a 75% relative humidity value before any floor can be installed. The new Dry-Tex backing, together with the Gerpur adhesive, meant that the Taraflex Sports flooring could be installed directly to the sub-floor without the need for an expensive damp-proof membrane, saving time and money, whilst still providing an Olympic standard flooring.
