BUILDINGS, MAINTENANCE & REFURBISHMENT Replacing Your Sports and Activity Floor?
A Solid Hardwood Floor from JUNCKERSWill Give You Durability, Longevity + Excellent Life Cycle Costs
Keeping Up Appearances Every floor finish, including synthetics, will become damaged over time but there is no need to endure the slow death of a floor finish that cannot be refurbished. Junckers sports flooring is extremely durable and when backed up by the 25-year guarantee offered by our network of Approved Contractors, will keep its good looks and superior performance in excess of 60 years.
Caring For the Environment – Naturally A hardwood floor is one of the most environmentally friendly sports floor finishes you could hope to find. All Junckers’ timber is from properly managed forests with FSC and PEFC chain of custody certification. Timber is harvested from old, established forest areas, which are constantly replanted. Junckers floors are BREEAM A+ rated in the BRE Green Guide and have EMAS 111 and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certification. In addition, they have low (E1) formaldehyde emissions under EN 14342. Junckers timber floors are carbon neutral and at the end of their lives they are very easy to recycle, in contrast to materials made from fossil fuels.
W
hen it is time to replace a school’s sport or multi-use floor, considering some basic
factors will help you make the right choice. Safety, longevity, ease of maintenance, durability and of course cost are usually high on the list of priorities, but with some sports flooring surfaces you may have to make a compromise somewhere along the way. By specifying a Junckers solid hard wood sports flooring system you can rest assured all aforementioned criteria will be fulfilled, with the added bonus of boasting a ‘showpiece’ floor.
Safety First Junckers sports floors fully comply with EN 14904, the European standard for indoor surfaces for multi sport use. This means the performance level of a Junckers sports flooring system fulfills essential safety requirements for users, such as shock absorption and friction, levelness, vertical ball behavior, resistance to impact and resistance to a rolling load, as well as fire resistance and emission of hazardous substances.
On the Money The installed cost of a Junckers sports floor falls comfortably within the range for Sport England and Sports Scotland’s Affordable Sports Floors. This may come as a surprise to specifiers and decision makers, as a Junckers floor is always believed to be a top quality choice, but as the leading solid wood sports flooring provider in the UK, Junckers offers competitive prices and is unbeatable in terms of life cycle costs.

For Years to Come A Junckers sports floor has exceptional longevity. It can be sanded and re-finished eight to ten times during its life. With 12-year intervals between sandings, a typical lifespan of 60 years will comfortably be exceeded. Compared with a typical 15-year life of a synthetic or “engineered” floor, there really is no comparison in terms of life cycle cost - the numbers speak for themselves.
One Floor, Many Uses A Junckers sports floor offers great flexibility of use. Not only is it a safe, ‘sprung’ floor which is comfortable to use and minimises injury, it will also accommodate high loads to enable the use of retractable and temporary seating, which enhances the potential for increased lettings revenue.
