BUILDINGS, MAINTENANCE & REFURBISHMENT
CHOOSING SPORTS & ACTIVITY FLOORS FOR SCHOOLS J
unckers is the UK’s leading supplier of solid hardwood floors to the education sector, with a long history of manufacturing long-lasting, safe, high performing and sustainable flooring systems. In the past ten years, the company has supplied flooring to over 800 schools, colleges, and universities in the UK.
Longevity
A solid hardwood floor from Junckers has a longer lifespan than most other flooring options. It can be sanded and refinished up to ten times without affecting its quality or performance. With an interval of approximately twelve years between refurbishments, a design life of 60+ years is easily exceeded. Therefore, the life cycle cost of a Junckers floor is unmatched.
Sustainability
It goes without saying that a floor with a long lifespan is also beneficial to the environment. As well as being naturally low in embodied carbon, Junckers’ solid wood floors have full environmental credentials including EPDs, FSC®, PEFC, and Indoor Climate certification.
Performance
All Junckers’ sports floors perform with unique area-elastic characteristics providing the ultimate freedom of movement, protection against injury and enables the athlete to perform to the best of their abilities. Our sports floor solutions are tested and approved in accordance with the European standard EN 14904. Junckers’ activity floor systems fulfil the requirements of classes A3 and A4 under the standard, which means they meet the Department for Education’s design rules for area elastic floors in schools.
Flexibility
A Junckers sports floor is designed for multi- purpose use. It can easily be adapted for flexible use as a classroom, for example, without the need for any additional protection provided a few simple measures are followed. The floor is hard-wearing and very resistant to scratches, scuffs, and indentations – the same Junckers lacquer finish is used in high-traffic commercial and public buildings. If the floor has become damaged, it is very easy to renovate by sanding and sealing, the cost of which is usually far less than a temporary covering. Junckers floors can also be used together with retractable seating systems.
