ABOUT THE PROJECT

Project name:  Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier / Free Weight Area
Location:  North Vancouver, BC
Main Contact:  Peter Frcek, General Manager
Product purchased:  Dinoflex Stride Fitness Tile, color Black
Project size:  160 sf

The fitness facility located at the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier offers a well-equipped cardio area, yoga studio, pool and stunning views of downtown Vancouver.  Located at the far end of the cardio equipment is the free weight section.

Peter Frcek, General Manager of the hotel was being approached with comments about noise and vibration in suites within close proximity to the free weight section.  The gym flooring being used in the facility – albeit durable – was not properly absorbing the shock of the dropped weights.  Peter went to the internet to find a solution and contacted Source Floor & Specialties Inc. to see if we could help.  Our sales representative was confident that the 1” thick Dinoflex Stride Fitness Tile would provide the appropriate level of absorption and recoil to alleviate the noise transference into adjoining suites.  The Dinoflex Fitness Tiles have a pedestal grid pattern on the underside that absorbs the shock of dropping items, with the added acoustic qualities of a non-vulcanized rubber surface.  The product installs quickly and easily with an interlocking dowel system, and has an available reducing edge that can be adhered to the edge of the tile or existing subsurface.

The product has been in place for a month now.   When asked about his new flooring, Peter commented that, “No further complaints have been made.  No complaints tell me the tiles must be working!”  When asked if he would recommend the product solution and Source Floor to others, Peter replied “Yes!”  He is also pleased that the product is manufactured in Salmon Arm, BC, preferring to support local manufacturers.
