Time-Proven History More than 80 years of experience in the hardwood flooring industry has given Junckers the technical expertise to design and produce innovative sports flooring systems, and high quality solid hardwood flooring. Junckers Winning Sports Floor Solutions are ideal for all types of athletic activities, from multi-use gymnasium and dance floors, to Olympic venues. Junckers is the recognized leader in solid hardwood sports floor systems all over the world.

2 EN 14904 The European standard for indoor sports floors

The performance of a sports floor is measured according to the European standard EN 14904, which specifies the requirements on the properties of sports floors. The standard divides the sports floors into 4 types:

1. Area-elastic floors: When a point force causes deflection over a relatively large area around the impact point (wood). 2. Point-elastic floors: When a point force causes deflection only at or close to the impact point (vinyl). 3. Combi-elastic floors: An area-elastic floor with a point-elastic top layer, a point force will cause both localized deflection and deflection over a wider area (wood/vinyl). 4. Mixed-elastic floors: Point-elastic floor combined with a synthetic material.

The standard relates to both safety and sports technical properties. The most important factors are described below.

Key factors for safety and performance EN 14904

SHOCK ABSORPTION A shock absorbing floor minimizes the risk of injuries. Test results display the percentage of shock energy absorbed by the floor when landing after a jump.

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 millimeters 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 athletes move rapidly on the floor. The ideal friction number is between 80 and 110. A friction number less than 80 makes the floor too slippery. A friction number above 110 makes the floor too sticky.

ROLLING LOAD The floor’s ability to withstand rolling loads is important in 150 circumstances where heavy carts and retractable bleachers are KGS used. Test results display whether or not the floor can withstand a rolling load of 1,500 N (approximately 331 lbs or 150 kgs).

3 JUNCKERS SPORTS FLOORS – always area-elastic

Junckers solid hardwood sports and dance floors are categorized as area-elastic, which is the flooring type that provides the best sport performance properties. An area-elastic sports floor allows optimal freedom of movement. It supports the game and protects the player against injury. A large quantity of all sports and dance injuries relate to poor performing flooring.

EN 14904 sets demands for performance in two classes for area-elastic flooring. The standard performance class A3, and the higher performance class A4.

Junckers offers solutions in both the “standard performance” class A3 and the “high performance” class A4. Floors in class A3 perform well for dance studios, group exercise, and multi-use gymnasium applications. Floors in class A4 provide the best in safety and performance, and exceed all performance standards set for the most elite sport and dance facilities.

Junckers comprehensive testing

In addition to the European standard testing, Junckers believes in testing a floor’s strength regarding durability and life span. Therefore Junckers has integrated two additional internal tests for results of these properties. Fatigue test This test is conducted on all Junckers “High Performance” class A4 sports and dance floors. The floor system is exposed to a series of controlled, dynamic point impacts of 3 kN (approximately 661 lbs or 300 kgs) no less than 100,000 times. This effectively simulates the equivalent of 25 years of normal use. Test of point loads The demands to the floor’s ability to withstand point loads are step- ped up with the increased use of sports floors for exhibitions, trade shows, concerts and major sports events where retractable seating is moved across the floors. Here the demands of the EN standards are simply not sufficiently extensive. Therefore, Junckers sports floors undergo rigorous tests in order to ensure durable and versatile floors.

16 A life span of more than 25 Years

At first glance, it may seem there are less expensive sports floor solutions, compared to the initial cost of a true solid hardwood sports floor. However, if one factors in the relatively low annual maintenance cost of hardwood, along with the long-term life cycle of up to 50 years of use, a genuine solid hardwood sports floor makes for a smart financial decision. With proper care and maintenance, a Junckers sports floor will have a life span of 25 to 50 years or longer. A Junckers solid hardwood sports floor also offers the option of repair, sanding and refinishing. The floor can be restored to its original condition over 1) Junckers test with solid rubber wheels, width = 2” (50 mm), diameter=4” (100 mm).

JUNCKERS – sports urethane for maintenance

Approved according to EN14904

Junckers prefinished sports floors are very durable. Proper maintenance helps to keep the floor looking its best. Daily maintenance consists of sweeping, and / or tacking the floor with a slightly damp cloth. When it becomes necessary, the appearance is easily renewed by a light sanding and the application of Junckers HP Sport urethane.

18 JUNCKERS – line marking paint

Approved according to EN14904

After installation, the flooring may require game lines. Junckers produces traffic bearing game line paint, that does not require any additional top coats of urethane to protect the paint.

Junckers game line paint is available in standard colors such as white, red, green, blue, yellow and black. Custom colors are available upon request.

19 20 ENVIRONMENT

Flemming Juncker, the founder of Junckers, was a forester. When he started the production of hardwood floors in the 1930s, he tried to utilise the parts of the hardwood trees which were then only used as firewood.

This resulted in a more profitable utilisation of the wood resources and thus gave the forest owners a better financial basis for replanting and maintaining their forests. Through the better utilisation of the wood resources, Flemming Juncker contributed to making forestry viable, and this is still Junckers philosophy. In the regions where we source our wood for sports and dance floors, new trees are planted to such an extent that the total forest area grows each year. This and the fact that the existing forests are thriving, is living proof that they are well managed. Junckers manufacturing process uses 100% of the wood. By-products such as bark, chippings and sawdust are used to fuel the on-site power plant providing electrical power and steam for use in the production of our flooring in Køge. The contribution to the production of energy is larger than what is possible to use at the factory and therefore the plant also provides electricity for the Danish national grid.

This makes Junckers a CO2 positive company.
