A presentation aimed at providing candidates with a good understanding of the role solid hardwood floors can play in sustainable building design. Wood is a carbon neutral material and specifying the correct wooden floor can produce a measurable reduction in global warming. We provide candidates with an understanding of why this is so, and to help them realise the potential of solid wood floors over the extended life span of the product.

This seminar looks at methods of fitting, site assessment, movement allowances, flatness and dryness of sub-floors, underfloor heating, details and problem-solving and maintenance.

This Junckers seminar will help the architect to decide on the correct materials to be used when maintaining hardwood flooring, to know how to maintain hardwood flooring in the short and long term and touches on the specification of hardwood flooring and their respective finishes.

This CPD introduces new regulations for school buildings and discusses how they affect the selection of sports and multi-purpose floors for new build and refurbishment school buildings.

This seminar looks at what is needed for a successful specification of hardwood flooring, including identifying a client’s wishes, assessing usage, expected foot traffic and maintenance, types of hardwood flooring - species, grades, finishes, important considerations for installation, use with underfloor heating, acoustics as well as the environmental impact, life cycle costs, and aligning the flooring with the design life of the building.

This presentation discusses the many ways solid hardwood floors can provide technical, performance and sustainable solutions for heritage retrofit and refurb projects. It details the most common scenarios a specifier might encounter and what is needed before installing new floors in old buildings.The CPD covers how selecting a durable material with a long lifespan and low embodied carbon will have a positive impact on the building’s whole life carbon assessment and in turn the environment, how the choice of flooring impacts the building’s historical integrity, and its adaptation to a more sustainable operation system.
