REFERENCES PRIVATE BASKETBALL PITCH/MULTI-COURT YEAR OF INSTALLATION: 2014 REFERENCE: MICHAEL ROSENGREN, EKLANDA, SWEDEN 2 AREA: 70 M FLOOR DESIGN: BERGO MULTISPORT SILVERGREY AND DARKBLUE ”Bergo just radiated service, and were full of suggestions and ideas about how I could use expansion strips for the lines and so on. They sent pictures of similar projects and even some sample tiles, so I could get an idea of what it would be like.” “ I have had this idea at the back of my mind for years – a dream of my own basketball pitch. I used to play basketball at elite level, so that was when it started. We now have two boys in the house, aged 13 and 14 and both keen on a variety of sports. So the idea took shape and we decided to do something about it. We have quite a big garden, which meant we could have the real thing. A big pitch that we could use for just about anything, where the boys could meet up with their mates. What I wanted was: A pitch that was big enough to be used for lots of different activities. The surface had to be good for serious practice, not just play- ing about. It had to have the right bounce (the rebound from the surface). As little need for maintenance as possible. It must keep its good qualities for many years. It must be as easy as possible to install. It must look really cool (you’d think that was most important of all). By searching on the net I could compare the different alternatives. I found Bergo Flooring in Anderstorp several times, which got me interested. The first time I contacted them, their response was great: “Brilliant project – we will be very happy to help solve it. ”Bergo just radiated service, and were full of suggestions and ideas about how I could use expansion strips for the lines and so on. They sent pictures of similar projects and even some sample tiles, so I could get an idea of what it would be like. And as the cherry on the cake, they sent a design drawing to scale in the colours I wanted, which saved me a lot of work. So there was no difficulty in choosing the product and the suppliers. I just settled for Bergo’s Multisport! The pitch is now in place and the whole family uses it daily. Instead of hanging over their computers the lads have mates home every day to play basketball or kick a football. The pitch is the regular meeting place for friends, even when they are not actually playing sport. The flooring functions superbly, and the surface has just the same rebound as an indoor floor. The surface friction is fantastic, which is one of the things I found most surprising, because I thought it would be slippery. What really impressed me was that it looked so great – far better than I had expected. Without exaggerating, I can say that my demands before we started were ambitious, but Bergo Multisport has lived up to them all.“ / Best wishes, Michael Rosengren, Eklanda, Sweden REFERENCES RECOMMENDATION FROM THE SWEDISH FLOORBALL FEDERATION Year of reference: 2011 Floor design: Bergo Multisport ”We are likewise very pleased to be able to recommend the Bergo Multisport produced by Bergo Flooring AB for Floorball usage.” We, the Swedish Floorball Federation member of the International Floorball Federation, hereby issues this letter of recommendation on behalf of the Swedish company Bergo Flooring AB.

The aim is to stimulate children and young people to play more sport, and to hopefully encourage more youngsters to get involved in club activities. ”The response has been great and it turns out that adults are using these facilities too,” says Kent Kruuse, leisure manager at Gisla- ved Municipality. ”One important thing was ensuring a good surface, to minimise injuries from falls, etc. It should feel comfortable under foot and have suitable properties for the various ball game activities, stand up to all weathers and drain rapidly in rainy conditions, while also being hard-wearing and attractive. We discussed our requirements and wishes with Bergo Flooring, who manufacture multifun- ctional flooring for demanding environments, including sports floors. ”We agreed to test their multisport floor at Sörgård School in Gislaved. Along with various line markings, the floor was also painted with the municipality’s logo. The result was excellent and the floor has played a big part in increasing the level of activity at the site, as it feels so nice to walk on. The youngsters have even been asking whether they actually need to wear shoes! (which, of course, they do...) This represents an important step towards achieving our objective of encouraging more sport. Strengthened by the success of the first floor, additional venues will now be given a similar floor. The intention is for this to become standard in Gislaved Municipality. If we were to pass on one useful tip to other municipalities, it would be to think carefully about the floor when planning multifun- ction and local sports facilities,” says Kent Kruuse. /Kent Kruuse, leisure manager at Gislaved Municipality REFERENCES The Bergo floor solved the is- sue with damp in the premises Bergo floor tiles are easy to lay and can be placed on an existing floor without fasteners such as glue, screws or nails. The design with the built-in air gap allows the surface underneath to ventilate, which in turn causes the entire surface to dry up, in turn eliminating any unpleasant odours.

BOXING CLUB FACILITIES Year of installation: 2015 Reference: IF LINNÉA BOXING CLUB 2 Area: 250 m Floor design: Bergo Multisport Graphite Grey ”The floor has worked extremely well. We had a problem with damp in the premises, so for us using Bergo was bit of a ”rescue”, both from a functional and an economic perspective. Certainly there are other solutions in terms of damp but then you end up spending astronomical sums, way beyond what a non- profit organization can manage. There is good resilience in the floor and it was simple and really fun to install. Bergo provided great service with good layout dra- wings and instructions. The tiles were laid directly onto the concrete floor; which worked well despite irregularities. We are pleased and can highly recommend the Bergo tiles.” / IF LINNÉA BOXING Daniel Nash, Head coach Carina Sihlen, Chairman and coach Thomas Häggkvist, Cashier Yvonne Nilsson, Secretary REFERENCES https://youtu.be/dhwHAn8tQaE EVENT - FLOORBALL TOURNAMENT YEAR OF INSTALLATION: YEARLY SINCE 2010 REFERENCE: SWEDISH FLOORBALL OPEN 2 AREA: 1800 m FLOOR DESIGN: BERGO MULTISPORT For many years Bergo Flooring has been the supplier of app. 1800 m2 of Bergo Multisport floors at one of the world’s biggest floor ball tournaments: Swedish Floorball Open.
