Timber Sports Flooring

Timber Sports Flooring

Resilient™ Timber Sports Floor System are constructed using either hardwood timber parquetryfingers 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.

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

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.

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

Timber Floating Floor Isolation

Shearflex and Supershearflex

Application

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.

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.

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.
