What can profiles do for your floor?

Enhance the whole look and feel of your floor. Profiles are often the last thought on the mind of the person who sells or lays the floor but without due care and consideration for what is needed, the floor can look poorly finished. Even without the importance of the aesthetic aspect, profiles play an important roll in the fitting and longevity of the floor, in-particular, solid and engineered wood floors. Profiles provide cover for necessary expansion gaps both around the perimeter of rooms and across door thresholds. Without the necessary expansion, hardwood flooring will bow, dish or push bricks out of walls.

With the correctly specified profiles, perimeter expansion and door threshold covers vanish to become part of the floor.

One of the concerns that can arise with certain skirting profiles is the effect that is seen when a ball strikes it. Hockey is one of the sports that requires special attention when considering which skirting is to be used on the sports hall. Due to the nature of the sport, a hard ball generally travels at high speed along the ground. Enevitably the ball will strike the room wall and rebound into play. With the specific hockey skirting from Parallel, the return trajectory of the ball is carefully controlled. The curved face produces a downward angle for all balls which strike its face. This helps reduce potentially dangerous rebounds that can often be seen with other none specific skirting profiles. Whilst it is impossible for all dangerous rebounds to be completely negated, Frontier Hockey Skirting provides the best option for multi-purpose sporting arenas.
