About Beech Wood Flooring Beech flooring belongs to the same family as Oak flooring and is indigenous to a large part of the world including Europe, Asia Minor, Japan and the Americas. Beech flooring has light brown, hard, and moderately heavy timber. Beech wood is close and even in texture, with a fine silky grain, and is easily worked and fairly strong and durable. The Beech most commonly grown as an ornamental tree is the European Beech, widely cultivated in North America as well as its native Europe. The European species yields a widely used timber, an easy-to-work utility wood. European Beech offers a medium range of colour variability in each of the colour ranges these beech floors are offered in. In the drying process, Beech which is steamed yields a pink/orangey tan colour, while the unsteamed Beech yields a blonde tan coloured wood. Within each of these beech selections, Beech ranges in colour from a light cream colour on through to a medium tan brown and when beech is steamed it will have the pinkish/orangey overtones. As with all natural wood products European Beech undergoes a medium degree of colour change with a slight muting of the orangey tan colours and an ambering in colour over time.

Thou, many facilities have to be used for other activities including things like; assemblies, careers fairs, drama, parties and social events, bring and buy sales, exhibitions etc. Solid hardwood sports floors are designated as "area elastic floors" to provide the spring resilience and shock absorbing qualities needed for sports and dance use to minimise injury. If the floor is too hard the athlete and user will be exposed to early fatigue, and aching joints through to injury such as sprains, joint and shin bone damage. If too soft, then ball bounce and running characteristics are compromised. In the UK, hardwood sports floors are governed by a number of recognised standards: All sports floors must conform to BS7044 Part 4 - this is the minimum Sport England requirement, with which your floor msut comply if it is part of a Sport England sponsored project. A higher more demanding standard for better quality sports and dance flooring is DIN 18032 Part 2 The newest - and the best - standard is the European Standard CEN 217. This standard has brought together all the best eprformance criteria from a number of current standards in the EU, including BS and DIN. All Junckers systems fully comply with one or more of these standards. They ALL comply with the minimum Sport England requirement of BS7044 Part 4 compliance. infor@realoakfloors.co.uk, (Real Oak Floors) http://realoakfloors.co.uk/beech_natural_unfinished_strip_sports_floor.php Thu, 08 Mar 2007 23:00:10 +0100 http://realoakfloors.co.uk/junckers_beech_soul_collection_-_colour_stained_flooring.php The New Junckers Soul+Collection is a fantastic pre-finished range of colour stained floors.
