Transforming Oxford City Athletics Club with Perfectly Green’s Tough Colours

Published: 12 July 2024

At Perfectly Green, we pride ourselves on providing innovative, high-quality solutions for various projects, and our recent collaboration with John from M J Conway is a testament to this. When Oxford City Athletics Club approached John to solve their grandstand flooring problem, he turned to our product, Tough Colours, to deliver an exceptional result that exceeded expectations.

The Challenge: Worn-Out Grandstand Flooring

Oxford City Athletics Club standThe grandstand at Oxford City Athletics Club had suffered significant wear and tear over the years, particularly due to spikes on footwear. The original plywood flooring, especially in the stair aisles, was damaged and no longer safe or visually appealing. John was tasked with finding a safe and cost-effective solution that could withstand the demands of an athletics club while revitalising the appearance of the grandstand.

The Plan: Innovative and Practical

From the initial site visit, John quickly realised that replacing the damaged plywood was essential. However, he needed a durable surface that could accept a 5mm spike without being bulky or posing a trip hazard. Initially, he considered using something like MondoTrack, a popular option for athletic surfaces. However, this solution was not only budget-busting but also impractical to handle by hand between the seats.
John then discovered Perfectly Green online and explored our extensive range of products. After detailed discussions with our technical department, he decided to use our Tough Colours blue artificial grass as the wear surface. The plan was to wet-bond Tough Colours to the new plywood, creating a robust and visually appealing solution.

The Execution: Perfectly Green’s Tough Colours

Tough Colours rollsPerfectly Green’s Tough Colours artificial grass was chosen for its density and durability, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like the grandstand. Our team worked closely with John to ensure the installation process was smooth and efficient. The wet-bonding technique securely attached the Tough Colours grass to the plywood, providing a strong, stable surface that could easily handle spiked shoes.

The Result: Exceeding Expectations

The outcome of this project has been nothing short of remarkable. The new flooring not only strengthened the existing plywood base but also revitalised the entire grandstand. The vibrant Tough Colours artificial grass brightened the space, making it look better than new. John’s innovative approach,combined with Perfectly Green’s high-quality product, has fulfilled the brief and surpassed all expectations.

After finding Perfectly Green online and researching their product listings, we enquired about the possibilities of using a dense artificial grass as the wear surface. After detailed discussions with their technical department, a plan was formed to wet-bond their Tough Colour artificial grassto the ply. The result has not only strengthened the existing plywood base but has brightened the whole grandstand up and looks better than new!"
