Proflex Cushion
Proflex Cushion is a cushioning material designed for use within acrylic sports flooring systems. It forms a resilient layer within the flooring build-up, helping create a more forgiving surface for sports activities that involve frequent movement, running, jumping, and changes in direction.
The cushion layer adds a dedicated cushioning component beneath the playing surface, making it an important part of sports flooring systems designed with a cushioned surface construction. Rather than functioning as a standalone coating, Proflex Cushion works as one part of the complete flooring build-up, alongside the other layers specified for the sports flooring system.
Its role within the system is to provide the cushioning layer required beneath the subsequent surface coatings, helping define the overall feel and construction of the finished acrylic sports flooring surface.
