NEW SPECIFICATION RULES FOR SPORTS & ACTIVITY FLOORS FOR SCHOOLS

As the UK’s leading supplier of solid hardwood floors to the education sector, Junckers has supplied flooring to over 800 schools, colleges, and universities in the UK in the past decade.

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
A measurement of embodied carbon is an increasingly important consideration for new school buildings. As well as being naturally low in embodied carbon, Junckers’ solid wood floors have independently verified environmental credentials documented in EPDs. Direct comparison with other sports flooring options forms a persuasive argument for solid hard wood flooring.

Performance
All Junckers’ sports floors solutions are tested and approved in accordance with the European standard EN 14904 – A3 and A4. 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. If it has become damaged, it is very easy to renovate by sanding and sealing.

UK-based technical support
Experienced and knowledgeable technical support is available for all projects, including advice on load bearing performance, retractable seating systems and underfloor heating.
