PROFESSIONAL SPORTS FLOORING SYSTEM IN NEW SPORTS HALL AT UNIVERSITY OF HULL

Our Approved Contractor Courtcraft has installed a gigantic sports floor at University of Hull's new sports facility, one of the largest in the country. Working in collaboration with Henry Boot Construction, Courtcraft supplied and installed 2600m² of our SylvaSport Premium sports flooring system.

The multi-purpose hall has been fitted with an A4 rated, sprung solid timber floor, in accordance with the specification recommendations issued by Sport England and the ESFA, the Government's Education & Skills Funding Agency. The solid wood floor boards were laid onto our New Era cradle and batten system, with double battening installed underneath the area where retractable seating was to be positioned in order to spread the loading weight. Courtcraft's partners MJ Courtmarkers line-marked the floor for badminton, basketball, netball and volleyball use, sealed
with a topcoat of Junckers HP Sport lacquer.

With the correct care and maintenance, this floor will last for a lifetime. Our floors are known for their exceptional longevity - they can be sanded and re-finished eight to ten times without losing their looks or performance. With 12-year intervals between sandings, a typical lifespan of 60 years will comfortably be exceeded. Compared with a typical 15-year life of a synthetic or “engineered” floor, there really is no comparison in terms of life cycle cost - the numbers speak for themselves.
