OUTSTANDING
PERFORMANCE.
To reach the pinnacle of their chosen sport, any
athlete or dancer has to have a number of special
qualities, such as; dedication, commitment,
perseverance, determination, purpose and
passion. These same qualities were used in
the development of the Weitzer Parkett range of
Sprung Timber Floors for Sports and Dance.
When specifying or choosing a Sprung Timber
Floor, there are a number of points to consider
which are covered in the following pages:
Activities
Standards, ie BSEN14904:2006
Retractable seating systems
Underfloor heating
Solid or Engineered
Choice of timber species
WHAT TYPE OF SPORT
OR ACTIVITY WILL
BE TAKING PLACE?
Dependent upon the type of sport or activity
taking place you will have a number of
options, some systems are multi-use, ie
suitable for many indoor sports; for example
basketball, indoor football, gymnastics etc.
Other installations will only require a floor
that is suitable for lower level activities such
as spinning, yoga classes, dance or drama.
Our wide range ensures that Weitzer Parkett
have a floor suitable for your requirements.

PURE STANDARDS
PURE
STANDARDS
WE HAVE ONE
STANDARD.
ALL WEITZER PARKETT SPORTS
FLOORS ARE CERTIFIED TO
THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF
BSEN14904: 2006 – A4.
A sportsperson or dancer is usually subjected
to some form of risk in their chosen activity
so for them it is important that their
“performance space” is fit for purpose.
Government legislation sets standards for indoor
sports flooring. BSEN14904:2006 was introduced
in July 2006 and all floors designed for sport
or dance use should not only conform to, but
in our opinion be certified to this standard.
There are separate sections within
BSEN14904:2006 that detail the performance
factors for each type of floor:
The floors manufactured by Weitzer Parkett are
developed and certified to meet the requirements
of the various Sports Governing Bodies standards
and in meeting the criteria for an area elastic floor
to A4 standard, meet the current requirements
stipulated by FIBA Permanent Wooden Flooring
(Levels 1 and 2) / Badminton England / England
Squash and Racketball and World Squash Federation.
Point elastic floors do not offer the same level of
shock absorption or elasticity as an area elastic
floor. Generally, sports floors that are classified
as “Area Elastic” are regarded as giving the
highest level of protection against injury.
TABLE B.1 – SHOCK ABSORPTION (%)
SOME MANUFACTURERS
MAY ADVISE YOU THAT
THEIR FLOORS “CONFORM“
TO VARIOUS PARTS OF
THIS STANDARD BUT
ARE NOT “CERTIFIED“.
The standard is divided into
4 separate sections. Each
section contains precise detail
relating to the performance
factors for each floor
finish, and compares how
each type of floor covering
reacts against each other.
It is important that these
aspects are taken into
consideration when choosing
your floor finish, and the
tables opposite taken from
the standard, indicate the
shock absorption and vertical
deformation results between
the various flooring types.

Some projects may have a requirement for
retractable seating which rolls out onto the
field of play to accommodate spectators or
audiences. Weitzer Parkett have a number of
Sports Floor Systems that are suitable for this
type of seating and have worked closely with the
seating manufacturers on a number of projects.
Weitzer Parkett Hardwood flooring is
suitable for installation on top of underfloor
heating systems, and has been installed
successfully on many projects where
underfloor heating was specified.
Some flooring manufacturers may reduce
batten centres to the Field of Play/Sport area
to accommodate heavier loads, ie retractable
seating. In most cases where batten centres are
decreased this ultimately makes the floor more
rigid which would render it no longer suitable
for a sports floor under EN14904 A3 or A4.
This is an area where technical expertise
is required, and our Technical Department
is on hand to offer recommendations
regarding underfloor heating and to
discuss the specification of the correct
sprung sports floor with you.
Sports floor manufacturers should have
their systems tested at specific centres, if
these are altered in any way to accommodate
higher point loadings on site for retractable
seating or heavier loads, this will in effect not
be a “certified” system to EN14904:2006.
YOUR SUCCESS.
SOLID OR ENGINEERED?
WE DO BOTH
SOLID OAK OR
SOLID BEECH?
Weitzer Parkett is unique. Unlike other
manufacturers, we design and manufacture both
Solid and Engineered sprung timber sports floors,
giving you a wider range of choice and options.
Oak is one of the most stable and durable
hardwoods and is least affected by fluctuating
changes in Air Temperature and Relative
Humidity, which tends to occur in the U.K.
Engineered timber flooring is often perceived as a
cheaper inferior alternative to solid timber flooring.
This is not necessarily the case and engineered
timber floors can overcome potential problems when
underfloor heating is specified and moreover where
potential fluctuations in Relative Humidity and Air
temperature occur within the surrounding environment.
Beech however is one of the most unstable and
least durable hardwoods and is very susceptible to
fluctuating changes in Air Temperature and Relative
Humidity which tends to occur in a Sports Hall
Environment. Oak is 4 times more stable than Beech.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:
The Weitzer Parkett WP-Multisport M-47 Classic is a
low construction height, fully sprung, high performance
sports floor that is certified to BSEN14904 A4.
With a total construction height of 47 mm, it is designed
to be installed on level subfloors. The system is installed
using WP-Classic 21 mm Solid Block (21 x 60 x 500 mm)
adhered to an engineered batten of 6 mm Birch Plywood
and POR Multifoam. This results in unsurpassed shock
absorption with steady ball response. This system
is ideal for where bleacher/retractable seating is
installed as there is no need to reduce batten centres.
The installation pattern is traditional
Herringbone creating a uniform even
pattern throughout the field of play.
WHY INSTALL IN
HERRINGBONE?
14
If the floor is installed in Herringbone
Design, expansion and contraction is reduced
by 50% because the floor is able to expand
on 4 sides as opposed to 2 sides with a
Straight Lamella/Line Floor. Therefore,
during installation there is no requirement
for intermittent expansion gaps within
the floor – only an expansion gap of 15-20
mm is required around the perimeter.
Herringbone design is also more suitable
when bleacher seating is being utilised,
because point loadings increase. There
is therefore no need to decrease batten
centres to accommodate the extra weight
if bleacher seating is to be incorporated.

– IS A4 THE STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR DANCE?
A4 is not necessarily the standard specification
for dance, however certain parts of the
requirements for EN14904 A4 are particularly
relevant for dance floors, as Mark Foley in his
Design Guidance for Dance Floors indicates:
"Sports floors tend to require a less resilient
level of performance than a dance floor because
sports users are more concerned with ball
bounce characteristics, for example, and also
benefit from the additional comfort and protection
afforded by cushioned sports shoes. Qualities
such as "ball bounce" are irrelevant to dancers.
However the "shock absorption" characteristics
of a floor are particularly relevant and provide
the protective component in the design of
floors for dance where there is little or no
cushioning provided by the dancers' footwear"
Weitzer Parkett Sports Floors offer the
highest level of shock absorption which is
why they are more versatile for multipurpose
use for both ball sports as well as dance.
– IS THERE A DIFFERENT SPECIFICATION FOR
A FLOOR BEING USED FOR OTHER SPORTS
SUCH AS JUDO, TAEKWONDO, FENCING?
Judo / Taekwondo sports generally involve the
use of additional mats installed on top of the
sprung floor. A mat or surface system will only
compress a certain percentage of the material
itself depending on its density if laid on a hard
rigid surface such as a concrete floor. This often
leads to injuries as the mats cannot absorb and
dissipate the energy from a fall adequately. In Judo
it is necessary to have a subfloor that deflects
enough to absorb the impact of a 90kg plus person
falling from sometimes above head height.
Therefore a “sprung” floor with good shock absorption
is necessary so that the mats are not taking 100% of
the impact and a fast, firm surface is still retained.
Fencing – This particular sport tends to use
roll out “pistes” installed on top of the floor
finish for when bouts actually take place.
Weitzer parkett has many years experience
in production, manufacture, specification and
installation of Sprung Timber Floors.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
FREQUENT
QUESTIONS
– IS WEITZER PARKETT FLOORING SUITABLE
FOR CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE FROM 10˚C
MINIMUM TO AROUND 22˚C MAXIMUM?
The WP-Trend Sport 21mm is an engineered solid
board (21 x 117 x 1170 mm) which ultimately will be
more stable than a solid board if there are severe
fluctuations in Relative Humidity and Air Temperature.
– WEITZER PARKETT PRODUCE SOLID AND
ENGINEERED SPRUNG TIMBER FLOORING,
WHICH IS THE MOST SUITABLE?
Engineered timber flooring is often perceived
as a cheaper inferior alternative to solid timber
flooring – this is not necessarily the case and
engineered timber floors can overcome potential
problems when underfloor heating is specified
and where potential fluctuations may occur
in Relative Humidity and Air Temperature.
The cross layered construction provides an extremely
dimensionally stable product compared to that of solid
timber flooring. Tests have proven that engineered
timber floors are 70% more stable than an equivalent
width solid timber floor. Engineered timber floors
also offer a solution to the potential problems of
gapping or expansion of solid timber floors.
Weitzer Parkett engineered sprung timber floors are
unique. Unlike other manufacturers who use a spruce
“softwood” core with a balancing “softwood” base
layer, Weitzer Parkett have developed a sprung floor
using inherently stronger “Birch Plywood Core”.
– WP-TREND SPORT (2 - LAYER
ENGINEERED SOLID BOARD)
The board is manufactured with a hardwood
wear layer of two rows, assembled on 13ply –
18 mm Birch Plywood, tongue and grooved
on all four sides. (Board Dimensions 117 mm
wide and 1170 mm long), Prefinished using
Weitzer Parkett’s unique ProStrong Lacquer.
– IS SOLID OAK MORE STABLE THAN SOLID BEECH?
Oak is one of the most stable and durable hardwoods
and is least affected by fluctuating changes in
Air Temperature and Relative Humidity. Beech
however is one of the most unstable hardwoods
and is very susceptible to fluctuating changes
in Air Temperature and Relative Humidity.
Oak is 4 times more stable than Beech.

CLEANING
& PRODUCTS
The effectiveness of any cleaning/maintenance
process must be closely monitored in the
early stages and adjustments made to the
frequency and type of cleaning to ensure
that the floor is being maintained properly.

must still be monitored. If there are any signs of
the floor finish deteriorating, the maintenance
regime should be adjusted immediately in
order to continue to maintain the surface finish
and avoid costly premature refurbishment.
