REGUPOL Flooring at the Altenberg Training Center
REGUPOL Flooring at the Altenberg Training Center
With the opening of the Altenberg Training Center, another milestone has been achieved for international elite sports. The facility provides athletes from various disciplines – from bobsleigh and skeleton to biathlon – with suitable conditions to prepare for competitions at the highest level.
A special highlight is the world’s first bullet-resistant running track, equipped with sustainably certified REGUPOL flooring solutions.
Innovation Meets Sustainability – REGUPOL champion AG
The REGUPOL champion AG system was installed in the combined running and shooting hall. This is a seamless, cast-in-place sports flooring system designed to meet the demands of integrated running and shooting training.
The foundation consists of an elastic, fully bonded base layer that ensures uniform force reduction and supports joint-friendly running comfort. The surface is designed in two shades of green – bright and dark – creating visual accents while also facilitating orientation for athletes during training.
The green color concept reflects the architectural design language of the building and creates a seamless transition from the entrance area to the training zones.
Properties such as elasticity, force reduction, and grip support controlled movement sequences and help protect muscles, tendons, and joints. The slip-resistant EPDM surface provides secure footing, even during dynamic movements.
A key safety feature of the flooring: at shooting angles between 25° and 90°, no hazardous ricochets or deflections occur. This makes REGUPOL champion AG suitable for shooting-intensive training scenarios.
In addition, REGUPOL ballistic E43 elastic panels in black were installed on the rear wall of the hall. This wall cladding provides additional protection against potential ricochets.
With its durability, ease of cleaning (including wet cleaning), and high wear resistance,
REGUPOL champion AG meets the requirements of a modern, sustainable, and safe sports floor.
Training Conditions in the Push-Start Area – REGUPOL everroll ultimate
REGUPOL flooring was also installed in the center’s push-start areas. REGUPOL everroll ultimate Galway was laid both on the short track in the fitness area and on the long bobsleigh push-start track.
The elastic surface supports effective power transfer during push-start training, provides shock absorption, and reduces stress on the joints, creating suitable conditions for precise and powerful performance.
In addition to functional sports properties such as resilience and robustness, design aspects were also considered. The green Galway décor contributes to a fresh spatial atmosphere and integrates seamlessly into the modern design concept. This color theme is also reflected in the entrance area.
In the adjacent walkway, REGUPOL everroll ultimate in Manila décor (grey) ensures walking comfort, impact sound reduction, and a calm training environment. Thanks to its elasticity and durability, the flooring is well suited for high-traffic areas used daily by numerous athletes.
Sustainable. Safe. High-Performance.
Both REGUPOL champion AG and REGUPOL everroll flooring are C2C Certified® Full Scope at Bronze Level in accordance with Version 3.1 and are provided with an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration). They therefore meet defined ecological standards and support sustainable sports facility architecture.
