Aacer Long-Bond™ is installed at Marcy Elementary
Marcy Elementary School in Minneapolis MN, knew they wanted a new wood gymnasium floor to replace the existing carpet. The dilemma was the gymnasium needed to be a multi-purpose room as well, that’s when the school contacted FLR Sanders a local Aacer Sports Flooring Contractor. FLR Sanders recommended Aacer Long-Bond™ Maple due to the multipurpose nature of the product.
Long-Bond™ when combined with a rubber shock pad offered the school a resilient athletic floor and its low profile meant no ramps were needed. Also because Long-Bond™ is edge grain maple it also provided a tough and durable multi-purpose floor making Long-Bond™ the perfect solution for Marcy Elementary School. The patented design eliminates the straight line effect seen in most parquet products. Long-Bond™ can be installed direct to concrete, on top of a rubber shock pad and combined with a full plywood subfloor system making Long-Bond™ an option for any gymnasium. FLR Sanders is an Aacer Dealer covering the upper Midwest United States. www.flrsanders.com
Dover AFB goes GREEN with Aacer Sports Flooring
Aacer Flooring is proud to announce the completion of the Dover Air Force Base Fitness Center. Originally, the Air Force and architects at Ewing Cole www.ewingcole.com felt another system was a good fit for their needs. But after repeated conversations with the architect by Aacer and Miller Flooring, Ewing Cole was convinced that the LEED credits and trusted, measured performance of the AacerChannel™ series were too much to ignore. The project bid and Miller successfully won, and so began our installation in the Summer of 2011.
The floor was unveiled at a grand opening in December, ready for use by some of America’s finest service men and women…just in time for a wonderful holiday season. Many thanks from Aacer to our troops!!!

West Chester YMCA Loves PowerVent™
When Miller Flooring told the owners at the West Chester YMCA that moisture issues are inevitable in nearly all floors, it is certain that no one was predicting disaster. But that’s why we install the ScissorLoc™ II with the PowerVent™!
An accident occurred at the West Chester YMCA basketball floor in September, when a ball hit a sprinkler head, causing more than 1,000 gallons of water to flood the area. The YMCA was smart to call Miller Flooring, who then worked with a local disaster restoration company to get the water out of the gym. Then, with commercial fans placed into the gym, and the under floor humidistat combined with the air-blowing action of the PowerVent™ in the subfloor, the floor was on its way to being completely dried out!
Within a month, the floor at the West Chester YMCA was ready for use again, and not a single board was replaced. This is why we fully believe in ScissorLoc™ with PowerVent™, and now, so does the West Chester YMCA! Miller Flooring www.millerflooring.com
