20.5mm, 22mm and 14mm clip system floors

22mm and 20.5mm – sports, commercial and domestic

14mm – domestic, light-duty commercial

Please follow these simple instructions

We are concerned that your floor is a success and provides you with many years of trouble free service. Wood is a natural material and is, therefore, subject to infinite variations in colour, texture, knots and grain patterns. Natural timber also contains characteristics which are not found inman-made materials such as surface splits, shakes etc., and sometimes filling is necessary. These are accepted as being normal features of many of our products and are not detrimental to the performance of the floor.

Wood is a hygroscopic material. Changes in humidity will cause natural expansion and contraction of the floor. Small gaps may occur. Details given in this brochure are also shown in the Junckers T I system available in CD Rom version or on the Junckers internet site at www.junckers.com

Also see information sheets, Ref: C2.1.1, C5.1.1 and C3.1.1

Stage 1

Before, During and After installation – A dry environment

In the area where the floor is to be stored and laid, conditions must be the same as expected when the area will be in use. The room must be weathertight, heating system in operation and wet trades (eg. plaster and cement) must be fully dry. Any damp problems must be remedied first.
The relative humidity of the air should remain between 35% – 65% RH. Heating and/or ventilation may be necessary to maintain conditions. This is especially important in newly built or renovated properties, or those which may remain unoccupied for some time after the floor is laid.

The floor should be delivered as near as possible to the time when it is to be laid. The polythene wrapping is left intact during storage and the flooring must not be allowed to “acclimatise”. The polythene wrapping is not waterproof and must not be considered to be protection against damp. Packs can be opened for inspection upon delivery, but should be resealed until the time of fixing.

Stage 2

Sub-floors – General notes and preparation

Junckers Clip System Floors can be laid upon most types of dry, level sub-floor, including sand and cement screed, and timber such as floor boards, chipboard etc.
Sand and cement screeds

Fig 1

These must be flat and fully dry. This means the moisture content must be maximum 5% or 75% Relative Humidity. (Fig. 1). On ground and all cementitious floors, a surface moisture barrier of Junckers SylvaThene polythene, Sisalkraft Moistop 728 or PolyLay must be laid with the joints well lapped and taped, and turned up at the walls. The screed must be levelled to a tolerance of no more than a 3mm gap showing under a 3m straight edge. A self-levelling compound may help to achieve this tolerance if the base is found to be uneven. (Fig. 1).

Timber sub-floors

These may be floor boards, chipboard, ply or similar. Ensure the floor has adequate protection against damp from below. If the floor is on joists, ensure the void below is ventilated to building regulation standards. Air-bricks must not be blocked. The moisture content of the timber base must be 12%–14%. It must be soundly fixed and flat. The base must be levelled to no more than a 3mm gap showing beneath a 3m straight edge. If the base is unlevel, it is sometimes possible to achieve a flat surface by sanding or securely nailing down plywood of sufficient thickness.

Mixed sub-floors

Junckers Clip System floors can be laid onto a base made from more than one material eg. part screed, part timber. Clip System Floors may be laid onto polystyrene insulation, with a moisture membrane underneath. No additional underlay should be necessary. Polystyrene must be tongue and groove jointed and have a minimum density of 20kg/m3 for 22mm and 20.5mm floors, and 40kg/m3 for 14mm floors.

Stage 3

Choosing underlays

The range of underlays is as follows:

For 22mm, 20.5mm and 14mm floors PolyLay An underlay and moisture barrier. 1.5mm thick for use in domestic and commercial installations. Offers good step sound absorption and cushioning. 2mm For commercial or domestic floors SylvaFoam laid onto timber sub-floors and 2mm where a moderate amount of shock SylvaFelt absorption is required. Additional moisture barrier is necessary if laid onto cementitious floors.

For 22mm and 20.5mm floors 5mm Sports or multi-use applications MultiFoam where good shock absorption is needed. Moisture barrier is necessary when used over cementitious floors. 10mm Sports floors where a floor fully ProFoam complying with standards BS7044 Part 4 and DIN 18032 Part 2 is required. Moisture barrier is necessary when used over cementitious floors. Note: With underfloor heating systems, a second layer of Junckers Sylvathene is also required. See separate Guide E4.1.

Selecting the correct size of clip

Three Clip sizes are available, each to suit the humidity level expected when the building will be in use. Select the Clip size using the table below.

CLIP CONSUMPTION

Domestic installations: 13 clips per m2
Commercial and Sports installations: 17 clips per m2
Wide Board Range Floors (20.5mm): 17 clips per m2

Stage 4

Expansion allowances

Gaps will be necessary around the floor’s perimeter and ALL fixed points. (Fig. 2).

Gaps at “A” must be left empty. For 22mm and 20.5mm floors, these gaps must be 2mm for every metre of floor width at each side, minimum gap 15mm. For 14mm floors, 3mm for every metre of floor width at each side, minimum gap 15mm.
Gaps at board ends, B, are to be filled with Junckers Cork or Rubber Strip, ensure the strips are a close fit in the gaps. The size of these gaps to be 1mm for every metre of floor length, minimum 10mm at each end. The gaps and strips are usually covered with a skirting, quadrant or scotia moulding, available from Junckers.

See also “Edge Details and Other Tips”.

Fig 2

Stage 5

Installing the floor

When installing a surface moisture barrier, ensure the sub-floor is free from loose particles.

Fig 3

Unroll the moisture barrier and extend it up the walls just over the finished height of the skirting. (To be trimmed off after the skirtings are fixed). (Fig. 3). Ensure the moisture content of the cementitious base is less than 5%. It is not possible to cover up a damp problem with a moisture barrier. It will protect the Junckers floor from residual moisture only. For SylvaThene and Sisalkraft, edges must be lapped by 100mm and taped with Junckers Waterpoof Tape. Sisalkraft is placed black side downwards. The underlay is then placed over this. There is no need to fix the underlay or moisture barrier to the base. PolyLay is laid felt side downwards with the polythene edges lapped. No additional moisture barrier should be necessary.
Laying the first row of boards

See Figures 4 (Domestic) and 5 (Sports and Commercial Floors). Use temporary spacer blocks to form the correct size expansion gap between the wall and the first board. Note: these must be removed upon completion.

Fig 4

Note Clip spacings in Figs 4 and 5.

Fig 5

If the wall is not straight, it may be necessary to scribe the first row of boards to suit. Check the expansion gap can easily be covered. With a hammer, tap the correct end of the Clip into the groove on the back of the board. This is the end with the holes. The plain end of the Clip must point towards the board’s tongue, as shown in Fig 6.

Fig 6

Note: take care to align the Clip correctly before hammering.

One firm tap with the hammer is usually necessary. Excessive or repeated hammer blows may cause the Clips to become loose. Note: The Clips and boards must NEVER be fixed directly to the sub-floor! Lay the board in place, tongue pointing away from the wall. Continue to the end of the row, cutting the last board to length. The offcut will be used later. All board header (end) joints must be glued with Junckers SylvaFix Adhesive. Excess adhesive must be wiped from the surface with a damp cloth (Fig. 7).

Never apply glue to the long joints (except last board – see below).

Fig 7

Second and subsequent rows

The off-cut from one row of boards is then used to begin the next row. Ensure the board and stave (strip) end joints are staggered to produce a random strip pattern. They must not fall into line on adjacent boards (Fig. 8). Ensure the stave ends on adjoining boards are no closer than 80mm and header (board end) joints are no closer than 250mm. When tapping Clips into the new board, take care to ensure they are no closer than 50mm to the Clips on the last row.

Fig 8

To lay subsequent rows of boards, fit the Clips as before and offer the tongue and groove together. Using a wooden block, (or installation kit for 14mm floors), gently tap the joint together, working evenly along the board, taking care not to put weight upon the new board until the joint is nearly closed. Moderate downward pressure will then push the Clips home. With some types of Clip it is normal for there to be small gaps between the boards. The last row of boards will probably require cutting to width to fit. This row is glued along the tongue and groove joint only if a Clip cannot be fixed and is the only board to be glued this way. Do not forget to leave the appropriate clear expansion gap. Use a joint puller to fully close the joint (Fig. 9).

Fig 9

Finishing the job

Remove all temporary wooden spacers at the perimeter.

Edge details and other tips

1. The Perimeter Gaps can usually be covered with Junckers skirting, scotia or quadrant. These are usually nailed, screwed or glued to the wall or existing skirting. Large installations such as sports halls, due to the relative size of expansion gaps, may require special section skirtings or cover-strip edge details.

Fig 10 a

2.  Radiator Pipes

Drill a hole in the board to accommodate the radiator pipe. The space around the pipe must be the same as the expansion gap at
the wall (Fig. 10 (a) and (b)). A tapered wedge is then cut from the board as shown and this is glued back into place after the board is laid. The gap around the pipe is then covered with a Junckers radiator pipe cover, available in hardwood or plastic.

Fig 10 b

3.  Door Frames and Architraves

The boards must be fitted under door frames and architraves, allowing the appropriate expansion gaps. Use an off-cut of flooring plus underlay to make the cut at the correct level (Fig. 11).

Fig 11

4. Door Thresholds

An expansion allowance will usually be necessary. Where levels do not change, the gap can be covered with a Junckers Threshold Strip in hardwood or polished brass. Where levels reduce, a Junckers Ramp section may be suitable. To ensure the expansion of the floor is not restricted, ramps are best fitted to the edge of the Junckers boards and not the sub-floor. The ramp can be supported by hardboard or ply instead of underlay if the underlay is 2mm or thicker. This would also apply to junctions with mat wells. Floors over 12m wide, or those in irregularly shaped rooms should be laid starting from the centre. A special Double Clip is available and is used with a loose tongue which is glued to one side (Fig. 12).

Fig 12

These methods are also useful for floors which are laid diagonally or where changing the laying direction.

Material Selection

Junckers Floors are graded in accordance with established criteria. However, it must be expected that for certain grades of flooring, the laying process will include some on site filling, selection and making good. Factory filling may not always provide a perfect result as it may become dislodged during the handling and laying process. Junckers are able to provide tubes of filler for this purpose. As a general rule, most floors will require a 3% allowance for cutting and selection.

Technical Assistance

Junckers can provide a full range of technical assistance for anyone who is specifying or laying Junckers floors. Contact our Witham Office.

Cleaning and maintenance

Use only recommended Junckers cleaning and maintenance products upon the floor. Maintenance instructions are available from your supplier or direct from Junckers. Do not leave puddles of water to dry upon the surface, as moisture damage may occur. Junckers cannot be held responsible for problems associated with lacquers, oils and cleaning products from other manufacturers. NB Every Junckers product is manufactured from selected material and is subject to the Company’s stringent quality control procedures. The Company cannot take  responsibility for the installation of their systems which is dependent upon the condition of the sub-floor and the standard of work of individual contractors.

Additional Points To Remember

1. Wood will expand and contract with changes in the environment. Therefore, expect to see wooden floorboards close together in the summer months and slightly apart in the  winter.
2. In kitchens, Agas or similar heat sources will dry the environment which may result in small gaps appearing between boards.
3. Use 22mm or 20.5mm boards in conservatories.
4. Junckers lacquered boards laid in kitchens can have an additional coat of Junckers Isolacquer, Junckers STRONG or Junckers Sport High Performance lacquer applied immediately after installation. This helps to reduce the effects of spillages and splashes upon the floor. Spillages must be wiped up immediately.
5. Junckers floors are not suitable for use in bathrooms or other wet areas. Water left upon the surface can cause damage.
6. Junckers 14mm, 20.5mm and 22mm Clip System Floors can be laid over most types of underfloor heating. Contact Junckers for specific recommendations and refer to information sheets ref: E 4.0 and E 4.1.
7. The Clip System must NOT be used directly over joists or battens. Boards must be laid onto an existing subfloor. 22mm and 20.5mm boards can, however, be secret nailed to joists or battens, see separate instructions.
8. The polythene backing on the underside of the boards is a balancing membrane and must not be removed.
9. Clip System floors are floating floors and must never be directly fixed down to the sub-floor.
10. Due to the staining process, SylvaRed colour may vary from batch to batch.

Junckers not only produce high quality flooring for your home and office, they also have a large range of high performance sports and dance floors.

A sports floor consists of three interacting elements which determine the area elastic and lifespan characteristics of the floor, they are:

1. The undercarriage construction
2. The solid hardwood floor
3. The surface treatment

With more than 20 million square metres of sports floor installed worldwide and the ability to perform most sports and dance activities on their sports systems, Junckers have a fantastic reputation within this field of flooring.

Hardwood Flooring

Junckers solid hardwood flooring systems offer a fantastic range of pre-finished hardwood flooring which provide a large palette of colours and grains that allow great scope for creativity making individual solutions, unconventional combinations and innovative details possible. Junckers new Ultra Matt boards offer the natural matt look of an oiled finish with the strength of a polyurethane lacquer and with simple, quick and accurate floor installation, Junckers has many advantages.

Junckers flooring

Founded in Denmark in 1930 Junckers is now one of Europe’s leading producers of solid hardwood flooring. All timber is sourced from managed forests which reflects Junckers attitude towards forest management and its felling policy.

With the company’s unique press-drying process – which was developed almost 40 years ago – timber is strengthened and has increased stability. Recently the company has developed new staining techniques to create a wider choice of natural effects, marketed as the SylvaKet, SylvaRed and SylvaColor ranges.

With the accurate factory-machining of Junckers flooring, the need for site sanding after laying is eliminated therefore saving time on what would be a time consuming part of laying your floor.

Wood waste from the company’s plants is used as a fuel for the factory thus economising on energy.

Sports floors are made from wood flooring but have additional support underneath to enable the floor to “spring” slightly which puts less strain on athletes bodies therefore counteracting injuries.

The undercarriages vary between the following:

1. A thick foam underlay – approx 10mm or thicker that is placed over the whole floor –
   this cushion is what creates the bounce in the floor.
2. A batten system with foam which can enable the floor to be used over battens however
   the foam on the battens creates the cushion and the spring required for sports floors.
3. Carriage system or cradle system – this system is used with battens to create small
   plastic supports along the battens. These supports have been specifically manufactured
   to allow for bounce and movement in the battens therefore creating the springing.

Sports floors can also be used in conjunction with under floor heating to keep the room warm. Both the wet system and the electric system can be used – however more planning is required with the electric carbon mat system as it needs to be placed in between the battens.

Most sports floors are made from an engineered flooring board – this ensures there is less movement in the boards and they are not prone to cupping, warping or gapping creating additional hazards for the athletes.

There are still a lot of sports boards made from solid timber though which are suitable where underfloor heating is not being used.

Both types of floor are mounted on the undercarriages mentioned above and are available with various fixing systems.

Engineered floors can be manufactured in a quick and simple click system – enabling these wood floors to be laid without glue or nails – this way is a very quick method when time is a pressing issue.

Other engineered boards are tongue and groove, which need to be either glued on the edges or nailed to the battens to ensure good bonding.

Solid flooring can be laid on battens by nailing to the battens. The Junckers sports floor system on battens can be used with the Junckers Clip system which enables the boards to clip together using metal clips on the underside of the floor. This way the flooring can be laid quickly and easily with the clips as no gluing or nailing is required.

Junckers systems include the Junckers Unobat 50, Junckers Unobat 62, Junckers Duobat 110, Junckers Clip system and the portable floor which can be used for sports purposes. All the Junckers wood floors are solid floor but have been guaranteed for use with underfloor heating by Junckers.

Other branded sports floors include the Kahrs sports flooring – the activity floor with Kahrs Woodlock © system – All Kahrs wood floors are engineered. The Boen Sports floors range include – Boflex, Elastflex, Singleflex and Doubleflex. All the Boen wooden floors are engineered.

A lot of the solid sports floors come unfinished as strips ready to be nailed down and then sanded and finished on site. These floors are unbranded and any 20mm thick or larger strips can be used for sports floors.

A lot of sports floors used for football, basketball, netball and other specific sports are laid as unfinished wood floor as line markings need to be painted onto the court before the floors are sealed with a hard wearing lacquer / varnish which also comes with a non-slip finish for safety.

The most popular timber to be used as a sports floor is Maple, Beech and Oak. Maple and beech are both lighter in colour and work better with line markings however oak flooring is also used. Where the sports
floor will be used for barefoot sports or where children will be regularly using the floor oak is not recommended due to its splintering properties. As maple and beech do not splinter they can be used for all applications but there is too much danger of injury caused by splinters if oak is used with barefoot sports.

Sports floors have recently become popular in spare rooms used as a gym in residential homes. The prefinished sports flooring is ideal to be laid quickly and simply in a room and can then be used as a childs playroom or gymnasium. High impact exercise can then be performed without the risk of injury due to the sprung floor. It can also enhance the value of the home to have individual rooms fully prepared for a gymnasium.
