"Sports cork surfaces replace the nowadays wood or synthetic ones "

BIOSURO is a product conceived as paving of interior for sports pavilions, thought for the practice of sports as the basketball, five-a-side football, handball, volleyball, squash, dance, etc. The guidelines of Menxeta i Peris for the construction of sports pavings of interior sound to use the cork as clearly ecological product and simultaneously Spanish.

The knowledge acquired for five years of facilities in Spain and Portugal has allowed the investigation and the development of new technologies up to coming to the introduction of the cork in the sports pavings.. The technology applied by Menxeta i Peris, allows to generate solutions adapted to the different needs of the user, from the small gymnasium to the big multiuse pavilion.

"Cork Revolution"

Our sports pavings are designed in accordance with the function to which they are destined: the practice of the sport. For it, there are the pavings in those who more have been studied in the interactions with the human body to prepare the injuries and to increase the sports yield. For desarollar and to verify the characteristics of our paving established an agreement of collaboration with the Biomechanics Institute of Valencia (IBV). This way, there was designed a finished program of I+D that was gathering the principal aspects that a sports paving must fulfill: boat of ball, muffling of impacts and friction between footwear and soil.

It has been proved by means of essays realized with sportsmen that the paving of cork BIOSURO, it is comparable to the best pavings of wood, reducing notably the magnitude of the accelerations that take place in the shinbone, when the sportsman jumps on the paving, compared to the same jump on concrete.

It is necessary to emphasize also his behavior opposite to the moisture, resistance to the chemical agents, extraordinary dimensional stability with the climatic changes and the resistance to parasites and microorganisms. With the presence of the humedadno the same happens in the wood, which in the cork since the wood swells up, dilates and loses his services (see photo)

The cork is a material which characteristics make it especially indicated for his use in sports pavings substituting with advantages the wood.
Spain is the 2nd world producer of cork and it is a question of an ecological product, since it is not necessary to fell the tree to obtain it. The compilation of the cork carries every 9 years out in order to preserve the Cork oak.
Also it is possible to change his mechanical characteristics during the process of manufacture changing his thickness and his hardness, adapting it thus to the application to which it is destined.
