    In an elite sports association like Modo Hockey, tough rules apply during training and matches. This means that materials and spaces are heavily worn.

    - Walking with ice skates is like walking with knives on your feet. But the floor holds up really well. The players move around a lot and put stress on the floor, but it lasts and is easy to clean, says Thomas Wågström, materials manager.

    The floor's acoustic properties contribute to a calm and comfortable atmosphere.

    Thomas continues:
    - When you get to the away dressing room, the sound is different. At home, the floor dampens sound. There is a big difference compared to when it is plastic mats.

    That's why MoDo Hockey has chosen Flotex for over 10 years.
