Dressing rooms of Adler Mannheim: Resistant even to skate blades

Special flooring with unyielding qualities

Resistant even to skate blades: norament^® 992 grano rubber floor covering enhances the design concept in the changing rooms

The changing room is a significant space for every team. It is here that a squad prepares for training and matches, celebrates victories and analyses defeats. So it is only natural that the furnishings have been much more than merely functional for quite some time. These days, an agreeable atmosphere is also a top priority. This concept was very much in the foreground when the Adler Mannheim changing rooms were comprehensively renovated in the summer of 2018. The club was founded in 1938 and has its home at Mannheim’s SAP Arena. They have been at the top of the German ice hockey league for many years. Highlights from the club’s history include eight German championship titles, most recently in 2019. Even though the “eagles” regularly produce flights of brilliance, they stayed down to earth when fitting out their dressing rooms – which was fantastic for several reasons. The design concept of the renovated dressing rooms was produced by a local firm – Mannheim-based fifty fifty design. “Focused, motivating, modern” was the motto of the refurbishment project. Warm colours, wood-clad walls and wardrobes, and indirect light create a pleasant atmosphere that is emphasised by the floor. The grey norament^® 992 grano special floor covering blends seamlessly into the design concept in the truest sense of the word. The 9mm-deep jointless rubber tiles are particularly thick, making them ideal for use in areas with extremely tough requirements, such as ice rinks. They can even withstand the burden of sharp skate blades – and will do so for many years to come.
