Junckers floors – made for sports
A heavy, solid hardwood board manufactured from two
rows of staves with a thickness of 22 mm comprises the
basis of any Junckers sports floor. The wood has been
carefully selected and has undergone thorough quality
control, thus ensuring that only the best wood is being
used for sports floors. The beech boards then undergo a
carefully balanced press-drying process, which increases
the strength and stability of the wood and gives an out-
standing rigidity. A solid hardwood floor also rules out the
risk of delamination.

High Performance
The High Performance floors are installed over an under-
carriage system of battens and shock absorbers; e.g. the
patented J-Locks utilised in DuoBAT 110+ and UnoBAT 62+,
or the patented elastic rubber pads used in UnoBAT 50.
Standard Performance
The Standard Performance floors are floating, i.e. they are
installed over existing floors, which means that the per-
formance of the Junckers floor depends very much on the
underlying floor. Standard Performance floors are installed
over a 5 or 10 mm resilient foam underlay.

Junckers UnoBAT 50
The UnoBAT 50 system is a fully sprung batten system, which is
particularly suited for multi-sports halls, providing all the necessary
characteristics for rapid moving ball games. The laminated battens
feature a specially developed rubber material with differentiated
hardness on the underside. One hard inner strip and two soft outer
rubber strips combine to provide a two-step shock-absorbing effect
with built-in deformation limitation. The result is optimum shock-
absorption and ball-bounce across the entire surface of the floor.
A choice of two different batten centres is available in order to
accommodate various demands for sports performance and load

Lining up before the game
Skirtings
To ensure a long and healthy life for sports floors installed over bat-
tens, ventilated skirtings are necessary to provide ventilation for the
sub-construction. Under normal circumstances natural ventilation
will suffice when a moisture barrier is established. Natural ventila-
tion is defined as the air flow caused by floor vibrations when the
floor is being used. The moisture barrier should be a PE membrane
with a thickness of min. 0.20 mm, and the barrier should be laid
with an overlap of min. 200 mm at all joints. All joints must be
sealed with tape.
Bushings
To ensure optimum flexibility and versatility Junckers provides a
wide range of bushings, which allow rapid and efficient changes
from e.g. handball to badminton or volleyball. The bushings are
available in a range of wood types, which match the floors and
skirtings.
