It was designed to solve challenges with temperature changes and high moisture levels and is still in use 25 years later.<\/p>\n<p>Since its invention, about 12 million square feet (over a million square metres) of sports flooring has been installed using the GreenLay installation method, with over 4 million square feet (over 370,000 square metres) in North America. There have been zero failures reported when properly applied.<\/p>\n<p>GreenLay has become the benchmark in performance and environmental responsibility for sports flooring.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does GreenLay Installation Work?<\/h2>\n<p>The GreenLay installation method ensures that sports flooring only adheres to just 2% of the floor area. This small amount of adhesive runs parallel to the walls and doorways of the gym or court while an exclusive double-sided tape secures seams. It can tolerate up to 92% relative humidity making the installation less dependent on moisture conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The innovative GreenLay installation method is used exclusively with Omnisports flooring because of its excellent dimensional stability and virtually tension-free manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Using GreenLay Installation Method<\/h2>\n<p>GreenLay is about more than just the longevity of your sports flooring. It also delivers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>20% reduction in installation time, decreasing construction delays and downtime.<\/li>\n<li>Higher moisture tolerance than traditional installations.<\/li>\n<li>Less costly than moisture barriers; in most cases, at a fraction of the cost.<\/li>\n<li>Minimal adhesive contamination: GreenLay is 98% adhesive-free so end-of-life recycling is easier.<\/li>\n<li>Less waste because of its limited use of adhesive.<\/li>\n<li>Reduced chance of micro-organisms colonizing under the floor because of moisture control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Types of Flooring that Use the GreenLay Installation Method<\/h2>\n<h3>Omnisports Multiflex<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avantagesport.com\/en\/products\/omnisports-multiflex\/\">Omnisports Multiflex<\/a> is a versatile synthetic flooring ideal for gyms, schools, sports facilities, running tracks, and multi-purpose spaces.
