Why Specifiers Choose Superstrata

Engineered for the hardest-working floors in sport

Superstrata products are designed around the actual loads, impacts, and traffic patterns of commercial fitness environments — not pedestrian corridors.

200–250kg Drop Rated

Titan is rated for repeated barbell drops up to 250kg. The compound formulation absorbs and disperses impact energy without surface crumbling or edge lifting.

10-Year Warranty

Every product is backed by a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects. No mandatory installer requirement — any competent contractor qualifies.

Batch Consistency

Colour, density, and dimensional tolerances held to the same standard across every production run. Multi-site rollouts and phased installations match.

15,000m² UK Stock

Standard orders dispatched within 48 hours from UK stock. Larger project volumes available direct from European manufacturing with agreed lead times.
