CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – (MARCH 10, 2011) – Gerflor, a global leader in the design and manufacture of multipurpose resilient flooring, today announced a company milestone with 1 million square feet of its Taraflex® Sports Flooring with Dry-Tex System™ installed worldwide as of the end of 2010.

“We see tremendous growth in the number of A&D professionals who specify Taraflex with Dry-Tex System as evident by our 1 million square foot installation achievement,” says Ken Chmura, Gerflor USA General Manager. “Dry-Tex System provides time and cost savings to flooring professionals and we are happy to pass along the benefits of this one-of-a-kind system.”

The Dry-Tex System is the first and only flooring with a moisture solution integrated into the floor backing and can withstand up to 15 lbs of moisture or 92% relative humidity (RH). The system installs quickly and easily over high moisture subfloors to save contractors, installers and facility manager’s time and money compared to other types of moisture mitigation systems such as slip sheets or vapor barriers.

“We congratulate Gerflor and its Dry-Tex System for reaching such an impressive company milestone,” says Steve Frailey of Specialty Flooring. “As a sports flooring specialist, I know firsthand the challenges associated with high moisture subfloors and I have recommended Dry-Tex on numerous occasions where delayed floor installation wasn't an option.”
