During twelve months of planning that preceded 30 months of construction on the Airedale Arena, school officials visited 42 different basketball facilities to gather ideas on the proposed arena. After careful evaluation of these facilities, a flooring test in a local elementary school and consideration of recommendations from the architect, school officials chose nora^® flooring for the 1/8-mile concourse behind the seating area, the promenade that leads visitors past the trophy case, school store and concession areas and the arena seating area. The enhanced durability and comfort that students and fans experience is exactly the winning combination that school administrators strived for when they chose the rubber floor covering.

The Adler Mannheim have been at the top of the German Ice Hockey League for many years. "Focused, motivating, modern" was the motto of the refurbishment project of the "eagles" dressing rooms. 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.
