Superstrata, the new specification-grade flooring brand from Marcias Ltd, has officially launched with its sights firmly set on architects, fit-out contractors, leisure trusts and major gym chains.
If the parent company name does not immediately ring a bell, its client list probably will.
Marcias Ltd is the Glasgow business behind Sprung Gym Flooring, whose products have reportedly been used in projects linked to Google HQ, Manchester City, Manchester United, David Lloyd and PureGym. Now the company is creating a dedicated brand specifically for the commercial specification sector.
The move comes after what the business describes as a sharp rise in enquiries from architects, surveyors and contractors needing far more than just a quick flooring order.
Instead, they wanted the full specification package, fire certificates, acoustic testing, slip ratings, sustainability credentials, technical documentation and compliance data before even considering a product for a project.
Founder and Director Richard McKay said the original Sprung brand was never designed for that type of workflow.
He explained that Sprung Gym Flooring was built around direct buyers such as gym owners and operators who wanted reliable flooring delivered quickly, while Superstrata has been created specifically for the specification process used by architects and contractors.
That means downloadable technical sheets, CAD details, NBS clauses, installation guidance and project case studies all built directly into the platform.
The company says every Superstrata product comes with a full technical documentation pack designed to help streamline commercial project approvals and procurement processes.
The brand is also planning to develop RIBA-accredited CPD content aimed at architects and designers, while targeting growth in the UK leisure, hotel and commercial fitness sectors.
Importantly for existing customers, Sprung Gym Flooring is not disappearing.
The company says Sprung will continue operating as its direct-to-customer brand, serving gym owners and operators as it has since 2020, while Superstrata becomes a separate “front door” for specification-led commercial projects.
For a Glasgow business that already supplies tens of thousands of customers, the launch signals another ambitious expansion, and a reminder that specialist UK manufacturing and supply firms are continuing to find clever ways to scale into new markets.
