Why not have the best of both worlds?

At Aura Sports we have combined two contrasting designed sport floors,   each offering unique performance characteristics and combined them into an elite sports floor.

Sports floors are designed to offer benefits to athletes and user groups for their desired usage requirements. Traditional sprung timber floors for example are ideal for adult basketballers wanting to 'slam dunk' a basketball. The reason for this is simple, when jumped upon; a sprung timber floor will slowly compress the area at the point where the athlete's foot impacts it, this is called vertical deformation. For every action however there is a reaction and as such the return of energy from the floor is fast and will give the athlete the spring that they desire, this is called energy restitution. A synthetic sports floor will perform entirely opposite to a sprung timber sports floor. Opposed to the 'Area Elastic' sprung timber floor, a synthetic floor is 'Point Elastic'.

Traditionally synthetic floors provide a high level of shock absorption, even at low impact. Point elastic floors respond extremely fast and unlike the sprung timber floor offer a slow return of energy, thus helping to prevent such conditions as micro-trauma and fatigue injuries. A little known reality of sports floors is that in order to gain the sporting advantages and good levels of shock absorption a certain body weight is required, therefore children and smaller adults gain more from playing on a synthetic surface.

Pulastic Combi unites the benefits of both concepts in one sports flooring design, combining both point and area elastic properties. From a sports perspective this is the ideal system, securing exceptional performance, however also offering safety and comfort for athletes of all levels and age. The levels of shock absorption provided by the Pulastic Combi system are impressive; this means the flooring system itself is absorbing a large amount of impact force instead of the athlete. Point elastic synthetic floors reach the highest shock absorption with a low force. Point elasticity assures maximum protection on small impacts. With area elastic floors the shock absorption grows with the growing force. The increasing deformation increases the area of deflection as well and therefore the load distribution (absorption) area.,  The benefits don't stop there however. By eliminating the timber from the top of this system and replacing it with Pulastic, you are also eliminating the on-going cost required for resurfacing requirements with a timber floor.

Pulastic is extremely durable and this assists in considerably increasing the usability of a facility.
