Resilient™ Timber Sports Floor System
YOUR TIMEBR SPORTS FLOOR SOLUTION
Many solutions may appear cheap on a short-term basis, but when it comes to sports floors, the perspective will have to be stretched beyond the first few years. When that is done, even the most expensive initial solution may turn out to be cheap in the long run, and vice versa. Given proper care and attention, with Resilient™ Timber Sports Floor System floor will easily have a life span of more than 15 years while requiring only a minimum of maintenance.
DESCRIPTION
Resilient™ Timber Sports Floor System are constructed using either hardwood timber parquetry fingers or tongue and groove strip timber boards.
The timber parquetry shall be fully bonded to the plywood subfloor, laid at 45 degrees to the direction of the plywood.
The timber floor surfacing materials shall be fully supported over the entire area to be covered by a double layer of MR grade 12mm thick plywood. Individual elastomeric pads of approved dimension and hardness shall support the plywood layers over the entire area to be covered, with special attention given to the perimeters of the installation. The flooring system shall be isolated from the substrate with a minimum 200um polyethylene sheeting lapped and taped at all joints.
The timber floor surface species recommended include Merbau, Kempas and White Oak (The parquetry will be of Merbau or Kempas species). Other timbers may be suitable for this system.
JUNCKERS
World leading sports lacquer (Approved according to EN14904)
Junckers is Europe’s leading manufacturer of solid hardwood sports, dance and activity floor systems. For many decades Junckers has provided systems to meet the wide ranging needs of local community and multi purpose halls, through to global landmark venues for Olympic, Commonwealth and professional sport.
JUNCKERS SPORTS LACQUER
Approved according to EN14904)
Junckers is represented at many indoor sporting events around the world. Junckers has a complete programme that can provide durability and lining for sports floors. And one can certainly say that Junckers shines up the floor. Both before and after the game.
Junckers HP SPORT Lacquer can withstand all hard sports tackles and it is quick and easy to machine clean, so that the floor is ready for new challenges.
Junckers HP Sport
Junckers HP SPORT is a 2-component water-based 100% polyurethane lacquer. High traffic, high durability sports lacquer. Scuff resistant, fastest curing seal. Non yellowing – ready for use the next day. Conforms to DIN and EN 14904 sports standards. Junckers HP SPORT lacquer must be mixed with Junckers HP SPORT Hardener before use.
Junckers PreLak, Clear and White, Water-based
Junckers PreLak is a 1-component water-based primer for all wooden floors to minimise side bonding. Dries quickly and is easy to sand. PreLak can be used with Junckers 1-pack and 2-pack water based finishes
Junckers prefinished sports floors are very wear-resistant, however maintaining the floor on a regular basis contributes to sustaining a long life span. Daily care is done by sweeping or vacuuming, but when necessary the surface is easily renewed by a light sanding and then applying one coat of Junckers own produced water-based sports lacquer.

FLOOR SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE
The standard relates to both safety and sports technical properties and the most important key factors are described below.
SHOCK ABSORPTION
A shock-absorbing floor minimises the risk of injuries. Shock energy is absorbed by the floor when landing after a jump, the balance will be reflected on the legs and body of athletes
VERTICAL DEFORMATION
The floor’s ability to absorb shock depends on its ability to flex when exposed to a dynamic load. Test results display the floor’s vertical deformation in mm when exposed to a dynamic impact equivalent to that of light jogging.
BALL BOUNCE
A good ball bounce increases the ball control and the speed of the game. Test results display the rebound achieved by the floor as a percentage of the rebound measured on a concrete floor.
FRICTION
Correct friction is important when ball players move rapidly on the floor, and the ideal friction rating is between 80 and 110. A friction value less than 80 makes the floor too smooth, and above 110 makes the floor too rough.
ROLLING LOAD
The floor’s ability to withstand rolling loads is important for example where trolleys and retractable seating are used. Test results display whether the floor can withstand a rolling load of 1,500 N (approx. 150 kgs).
TIMBER FLOATING FLOOR ISOLATION
SHEARFLEX AND SUPERSHEARFLEX
Shearflex and Supershearflex are shock pads for use in sports flooring or as an acoustic isolation pad underneath battens and timber strip flooring in apartments. They are also commonly used in theatres and auditoriums where moderate acoustical performance is required.
FEATURES
- Unloaded thickness: 10.5mm – Shearflex, 17mm – Supershearflex
- Cross-ribbed, non-skid faces which usually eliminate the need for bolting down
- Alternately raised ribs
- May be used in multiple layers with steel or aluminium shim spacers to increase isolation efficiency
- Available in a variety of load ratings
Pain Threshold vs Shock Absorption
EN14904 Standard: Minimal performance requirements to be met by indoor sports floors
INSTALLATION – SPORTS FLOORS / AUDITORIUMS
2 Layer"Plank-on-Ply"
Lay 100μm plastic membrane across entire floor with 100mm overlaps on joints and extending 100mm up each wall. Using a template, fix 45x45mm Shearflex red pads to first sheet of 12mm ply at 300x300mm centers.
Turn the plywood over and lay sheets at 45 degrees diagonally across the room leaving an expansion gap along the perimeter of 1.5mm per metre of floor between wall and floor. Always leave 2mm gaps between adjoining sheets.
Second sheet should be tack nailed and glued to the first sheet at 90 degrees to the first sheet, again leaving 2mm gap between sheets.
Install the final floor covering which may be either strip timber or mosaic parquetry. Strip timber is normally secret nailed while parquetry is glued using a timber flooring adhesive.
After the floor is sanded and finished, install skirts to perimeter.
Standard values
The EN 14904 standard determines force reduction classes for all floors. The objective is to draw attention to the necessity of installing safe, comfortable floors that reduce the risk of injuries.
