Problem: High-traffic commercial floors in schools, gyms, and community halls face immense wear. Scuffed, slippery, or dull surfaces aren’t just an eyesore; they are a health and safety liability for any UK business or institution.
Agitation: A poorly maintained sports floor can lead to injuries and expensive legal claims. Furthermore, many commercial managers fear the ‘downtime’ associated with refinishing. Using inferior products or untrained tradesmen results in a finish that peels under the stress of heavy use and cleaning chemicals.
Solution: A professional refinishing program using Bona Traffic HD or Junckers HP Sports lacquer. Our dust-free process using Bona Vacuum Dust Extractors ensures no contamination, while our technical grit sequences provide the perfect mechanical bond for high-performance finishes.
The Engineering of a Sports Floor
Whether it is Granwood or solid oak timber, the preparation is paramount. We use Frank Spider or Bona Flexisand machines to achieve the flattest possible surface. For sports halls, we must adhere to the EN 14904 standard for slip resistance.
Pro-Tip: Applying Bona Traffic HD
In the UK’s typical humidity, we recommend 3 coats of Bona Traffic HD. Each coat must be applied at a rate of 8-10 m²/litre. Grain raising is common with the first water-based coat, so an intermediate buffing stage with a 150-grit mesh is essential between coats two and three to ensure a professional, smooth-to-the-touch result.
