Replacing your sports & activity floor?<br />
A solid hardwood floor from Junckers will give you durability, longevity + excellent life cycle costs<br />
When it is time to replace a school’s<br />
sport or multi-use floor, considering<br />
some basic factors will help you<br />
make the right choice. Safety, longevity, ease<br />
of maintenance, durability and of course cost<br />
are usually high on the list of priorities, but<br />
with some sports flooring surfaces you may<br />
have to make a compromise somewhere<br />
along the way. By specifying a Junckers solid<br />
hard wood sports flooring system you can rest<br />
assured all aforementioned criteria will be<br />
fulfilled, with the added bonus of boasting a<br />
‘showpiece’ floor.<br />
Safety First<br />
Junckers sports floors fully comply with EN<br />
14904, the European standard for indoor<br />
surfaces for multi sport use. This means the<br />
performance level of a Junckers sports flooring<br />
system fulfills essential safety requirements for<br />
users, such as shock absorption and friction,<br />
levelness, vertical ball behavior, resistance to<br />
impact and resistance to a rolling load, as well<br />
as fire resistance and emission of hazardous<br />
substances.<br />
On the Money<br />
The installed cost of a Junckers sports floor falls<br />
comfortably within the range for Sport England<br />
and Sports Scotland’s Affordable Sports Floors.<br />
This may come as a surprise to specifiers and<br />
decision makers, as a Junckers floor is always<br />
believed to be a top quality choice, but as the<br />
leading solid wood sports flooring provider in<br />
the UK, Junckers offers competitive prices and<br />
is unbeatable in terms of life cycle costs.<br />
For Years to Come<br />
A Junckers sports floor has exceptional<br />
longevity. It can be sanded and re-finished<br />
eight to ten times during its life. With 12-year<br />
intervals between sandings, a typical lifespan<br />
of 60 years will comfortably be exceeded.<br />
Compared with a typical 15-year life of a<br />
synthetic or “engineered” floor, there really is<br />
no comparison in terms of life cycle cost -<br />
the numbers speak for themselves.<br />
Keeping Up Appearances<br />
Every floor finish, including synthetics, will<br />
become damaged over time but there is no<br />
need to endure the slow death of a floor<br />
finish that cannot be refurbished. Junckers<br />
sports flooring is extremely durable and<br />
when backed up by the 25-year guarantee<br />
offered by our network of Approved<br />
Contractors, will keep its good looks and<br />
superior performance in excess of 60 years.<br />
Caring For the Environment – Naturally<br />
A hardwood floor is one of the most<br />
environmentally friendly sports floor finishes<br />
you could hope to find. All Junckers’ timber<br />
is from properly managed forests with FSC<br />
and PEFC chain of custody certification.<br />
Timber is harvested from old, established<br />
forest areas, which are constantly replanted.<br />
Junckers floors are BREEAM A+ rated in the<br />
BRE Green Guide and have EMAS 111 and ISO<br />
14001 Environmental Management<br />
Certification. In addition, they have low (E1)<br />
formaldehyde emissions under EN 14342.<br />
Junckers timber floors are carbon neutral<br />
and at the end of their lives they are very<br />
easy to recycle, in contrast to materials made<br />
from fossil fuels.<br />
One Floor, Many Uses<br />
A Junckers sports floor offers great flexibility<br />
of use. Not only is it a safe, ‘sprung’ floor<br />
which is comfortable to use and minimises<br />
injury, it will also accommodate high loads<br />
to enable the use of retractable and<br />
temporary seating, which enhances the<br />
potential for increased lettings revenue.<br />
Technical Backup<br />
Junckers’ long heritage of developing and<br />
designing hardwood floors means there is an<br />
unsurpassed level of expertise at hand<br />
should you need it. With a full technical and<br />
after sales service available to offer advice on<br />
anything from choice of product, installation<br />
