Universal maintenance-free , highly mechanically resistant Swedish cassette surfaces with interlocking joints for a wide range of sports activities.
Universal maintenance-free , highly mechanically resistant Swedish cassette surfaces with interlocking joints for a wide range of sports activities.
The Swedish company BERGO is one of the leading companies in the development, production and use of plastic polypropylene flooring cassette systems in Europe. It produces a wide range of these cassette surfaces, which are used both in sports fields and in the commercial and domestic sectors.
Experience with BERGO cassette surfaces with interlocking joints dates back to the 70s and since then, based on our own development and experience, they have been constantly improved for a wide range of uses.
BERGO cartridges are patent-protected , fully recyclable and are produced on automated lines in accordance with current environmental protection trends.
BERGO sports surfaces offer a highly valuable and economically advantageous solution for sports facilities in relation to utility values with a long-term lifespan - optimal for the construction of new or reconstruction of existing multi-purpose sports facilities.
The unique patented design ensures proper flexibility, rebound and friction . For optimal maneuverability, sports shoes with raw rubber soles are recommended.
The perforated perforated surface and the bottom rung system create excellent drainage capabilities , which ensures that the outdoor playground dries quickly after rain. No puddles are formed. The surface is all-season in all climates around the world. Resistance to weather and sunlight has been tested in Arizona for a long time.
The lower structure of the cassette contains air gaps that allow air to flow under the playing surface ("Cool Flow Technology"). This prevents the surface from overheating from sunlight in the summer, but also prevents the penetration of cold from the substrate during cold days - which ensures increased playing comfort for athletes.
In interior applications on substrates with underfloor heating , perforations and cavities allow for rapid passage of warm air and heating of the surface and interior.

Newly developed (in 2020) state-of-the-art universal cassette surface of the 4th generation of similar composition. Larger format and different solution of the lock joint eliminates thermal expansion of the cassettes , so there is no need to use expansion elements, as with the previous surface. High-quality cushioning , high durability, improved anti-slip properties in wet conditions. ITF-5, EN14877 certificate. Wide range of colors.
Again the latest universal cassette surface of the 4th generation. The denser bottom grid increases the strength and mechanical resistance of this surface compared to the previous one. The face grid and surface properties are the same as the previous one. ITF-5, FIBA certificate. EN14877. Wide color range.

The surface is laid on a solid, flat surface (concrete, asphalt, interlocking paving, etc.). In economically efficient sports field solutions, the surface can also be installed on a compacted stone subgrade (stone dust) or clay substrate.
The substrate must be well prepared; when installing on compacted subsoil , a special separating water-permeable polypropylene geotextile is inserted between the substrate and the surface . No special tools or glue are required for installation - the cassettes are tapped in with a rubber mallet. No tools are required for installation of the ULTIMATE and ULTIMATE PLUS surface.
Due to the fixed interlocking joints, it is necessary to insert expansion elastic strips into the assembled surface , which partially eliminate the longitudinal thermal expansion of polypropylene (does not apply to ULTIMATE and ULTIMATE PLUS , where expansion elements are not used ).
An individual laying plan is prepared for each sports facility . The laid surface may (or may not) be edged with special edge elements. If local, mechanical damage occurs (e.g. vandalism), the cassette can be replaced quickly and easily using special tools.
Lining can be created using expansion joints (permanent lining) or by spraying with special paint.
The surface does not require any operational maintenance and therefore no operating costs. Routine cleaning (washing, vacuuming, spraying with pressurized water, etc.) is carried out only when necessary.
