Welcome to Horner Flooring, the oldest and longest-standing member of the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association (MFMA), with roots dating back to 1891 – the same year the game of basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith.

Over the past century plus, Horner’s commitment to quality of both product and services has been demonstrated most importantly by our relationships. These include providing the NBA All Star Floor for 26 years in a row, 20 plus years of providing special event flooring for the NCAA, Olympics Games and Common Wealth Games. Our track record of over 11,000 floors installed across the United States since 1980 alone continues to secure Horner’s place as the leader in the sports flooring industry.

Horner’s R&D continues to lead the industry with innovative sport floor systems for which Horner has been recognized for many decades. Horner’s cutting-edge flooring solutions continue to meet the needs of the most discerning customers, from elementary schools to NBA and Olympic caliber competition.

Partnering with only the highest quality flooring contractors allows Horner to provide the essential assurance to architects and end users that the sport flooring system will be installed on schedule and maintained in accordance with the high standards prescribed by Horner.

Quality will always remain the hallmark of Horner and its dealer network.

Our product line includes wood and synthetic systems that cover the gamut of surfaces for virtually every sports activity. All Horner systems are engineered for the very best in athletic performance, structural integrity, trouble-free maintenance and long lasting appeal.

Our goal has always been to be the best – and LEED documentation gives us another opportunity to demonstrate why Horner will always be an industry leader in sports flooring.

WHO IS HORNER ?

To be in compliance with warranty conditions it is the responsibility of the facility owner/managers to maintain their Horner floor under the recommendations outlined in floor specifications and maintenance instructions.

Performance and durability are best “maintained” by proper control of relative humidity and temperature. Areas containing wood flooring perform best by adequately providing air circulation by mechanical or natural means. Temperature and humidity must be fully functional and monitored year round.

Note: Different geographical regions may require varied degrees of control. Please consult your HVAC provider or your local Horner Flooring Representative for more information.

Sports Vs. Civic Non Sport Use

Your wood sports floor is designed to take the rigors of multiple sports activities. In addition, non-sports activities may be an essential part of your facilities usage. Given this, Horner Flooring recommends that your care and maintenance program be designed to accommodate other activities. Please consult Horner Flooring and your local representative to help in designing a maintenance system for all your uses.

Maintenance Products Horner Flooring recommends that before any floor care or refinishing products are used, a full review is done with your installation/maintenance professional recommended and certified by Horner Flooring. There are a lot of products – some of which work better than others.

Daily Floor CareTo protect the finish, appearance and performance of your floor, it’s imperative that daily sweeping/mopping of your floor is conducted. Dust, dirt and debris are best removed with the recommended mop and floor cleaner. Proper daily cleaning maintains the correct surface friction and athletic performance characteristics by reducing slips and inconsistent stops.

DON’T JUST PUSH THE DUST……..REMOVE THE DUST!

Entrance/Walk-off MatsDepending on the outside areas specific to your floor, catching dirt and dust before it gets on the floor is one of the best ways to extend the appearance and performance of the wood floor. Placing walk-off and entrance mats designed to catch dirt and grit in heavy traffic areas helps protect the floor. Horner Flooring recommends placing mats directly outside or at the entrances of the floor. Regular cleaning and vacuuming of mats will ensure best results.

Monthly and Quarterly Floor CareYour maple floor should be scrubbed and treated with an approved floor cleaner. If an auto scrubber is used, make sure proper training and performance is maintained. Consult Horner Flooring or your certified representative for proper equipment and product usage.

Yearly Floor CareHorner Sports Flooring recommends that your maple floor be cleaned, screened and recoated annually with an approved finish. Your warranty may be affected by product and contractor usage. Please consult your warranty and Horner Sports Flooring Representative before this procedure. Please see Yearly/Restorative Coating section.

Floor Stain PreventionIn the case of spills, be sure to wipe with damp cloth immediately. Use a soft cloth or towel. Note: Be sure that any wet areas are cleaned and dried immediately.

Shoe Mark Removal and PreventionShoe marks can be removed with an approved floor cleaner. Different finishes will use different cleaners. Consult your installation and floor care professional for best products. To remove shoe marks:

• Rub the mark with a tennis ball attached to a pole or broom handle. (slit the ball and press onto the handle)• Rag dampened in mineral spirits (oil based finishes only).• Red scrub pad with recommended cleaner.

Prevent shoe marks by monitoring and recommending only non marking shoes to be allowed on the playing surface.

Gum and Tar RemovalRemoval of gum, tar or adhesives is accomplished by using a plastic scraper and rubbing the area with Mineral Spirits. Also using an ice pack or freeze-it spray to harden the gum or adhesive and then scraping it off with a plastic scraper will work as well. Wipe areas with soft dry cloth towel when removal is complete.

Floor Care Essentials

Ventilation, Moisture, TemperatureYour hardwood maple floor system is designed to withstand normal variations in humidity and temperature. A fully functional HVAC system providing proper ventilation (air movement) will prevent changes in the floor systems shape and

appearance. The HVAC system must be adjusted to maintain room temperatures between 55-80°F. If during high humidity outdoor periods the space gains humidity in excess of 55% immediate air movement and exhaust of moisture laden air must be accomplished. During warm humid seasons regular inspections of the space and floor should be conducted. Please consult the facilities HVAC provider so that these recommendations and requirements are fully understood.

Better air circulation can be achieved if interior doors remain open and the air circulation system is operating. If humidity levels in the facility drop below 35% (geographically sensitive) Horner Sports Flooring recommends that humidity be introduced into the space to avoid excessive shrinkage.

Excessive expansion or shrinkage in your floor caused by environmental conditions which exceed normal ranges are not the responsibility of Horner Sports Flooring and are not covered by the warranty. Please review with building/facility managers and personnel.

Damage from Water/MoistureWater or excessive moisture is the main item that can cause damage to your floor. Wood is a hygroscopic material that nature intends to expand and contract under normal conditions. This is by retention and release of moisture within the woods cell structure.

Tightening/CuppingIf cupping is observed in your wood floor, immediate lowering of relative humidity and introduction of a steady air flow is recommended. This will

lower the moisture content in the wood floor system. Contact your authorized floor contractor or Horner Sports Flooring. If cupping is localized it is best to determine the cause of the moisture. Never sand a cupped floor without consultation with a professional and properly preparing the facility.

Excessive Gaps (Cracks Between Floor Boards)Your floor may have intermittent “gaps” or internal expansion provision built into the system during installation. This is to allow for normal expansion and contraction that occur throughout the seasons. Depending on specific site and seasonal conditions at the time of the installation varying degrees of built-in provisions will occur. These are normal and questions concerning these should be directed to your authorized installation contractor.

Excessive gaps occur due to low humidity levels or excessive dryness in the facility. This can be remedied by introducing higher humidity/moisture laden air into the space. Contract your floor care professional or Horner Sports Flooring for other corrective measures.

Moisture Exposure PreventionSome items to watch for:• Abnormal dampness/condensation• Exterior door thresholds and window seals need to be weather tight• Ceiling or pipe/drain leaks must be corrected immediately• Excessive water from foot traffic should be dried or corrected immediately• Monitor relative humidity levels regularly• Roof drains should be kept clear and drain away from the building• Report any abnormal visual or measurement (temp/RH) to building manager

Expansion JointsYour floor has designed-in expansion joints. Never block or obstruct any expansion joints at the perimeter or vertical obstructions (i.e. columns, game inserts, bleachers).

Bleacher SystemsBe certain that your floor is designed to take rolling and point loads that the bleachers will place on the floor system. Bleacher wheels should be designed for wood floors. Regular cleaning behind and beneath bleachers will prevent undue wear and unsightly marring and scratching of the floor.

Questions? Clarifications? Do not hesitate to contact Horner Sports Flooring at

1-800-482-1180 www.hornerflooring.com.

Yearly/Regular Restorative CoatingHorner Sports Flooring recommends that your maple floor be cleaned, screened and recoated annually with an approved finish. Your warranty may be affected by product and contractor usage. Please consult your warranty and Horner Sports Flooring Representative before this procedure.

Depending on daily maintenance, traffic and usage, your floor may require a more aggressive recoating program. Horner Flooring recommends the use of an approved maintenance contractor. Proper scheduling and dry/cure time is essential to the finishes performance. Products vary greatly and overall safety and performance of your floor can be adversely affected if incompatible finishes and products are used.

Good workmanship by a professional properly coordinated with the facility staff will make for low life cycle costs as well as other savings. Contact Horner with any questions or if you are in need of any recommendations.

Facility Maintenance

Horner Flooring Company has long been an ecological leader within the sports flooring industry. It was one of the first manufacturing mills to advocate the benefits of 25/32" flooring over the previously-used industry standard of 33/32" flooring

Now it’s the first to offer an extended wear life 25/32" product with the introduction of its Long Life™ (L2) Flooring product.

Horner’s Long Life™ Flooring offers the ecological, cost savings and availability benefits of standard 25/32" product but with the extended wear life of 33/32" flooring. Long Life™ Flooring will be offered in maple with other products available upon request.

Long Life™ Benefits

Longer Wear Life.Ecologically Sound.

LEED - Green Building Applicability

Horner’s Long Life™ product is an excellent candidate to be submitted for a LEED Innovation & Design Process Credit, as it embodies the credit’s stated goal to recognize new technologies for their innovative building features and sustainable building techniques not currently addressed by existing LEED Credits.

Horner’s Long Life™ Flooring is more ecologically sound as it minimizes wood waste when a floor has reached maximum wear depth. This is accomplished by shifting the tongue and groove assembly down, resulting in a higher proportion of flooring thickness being dedicated to wear depth. Less lumber is consumed for 25/32" product, regardless of wear depth, than is consumed for 33/32" product.

Availbility

With ever-increasing sawmill focus being placed upon 4/4" rough-cut lumber, readily obtaining 5/4" lumber in a timely manner to produce 33/32" flooring has become tenuous at best.

Structural Stability

Horner’s Long Life™ 25/32" product has the same structural strength and dimensional stability required of regular 25/32" flooring – only the tongue and groove profile has changed.

Application

Long Life™ Flooring can be used over any Horner system utilizing at least one single layer of 15/32" plywood or 7/16" OSB or other manufacturer approved subfloor.

HORNER FLOORING is the leading manufacturer

of athletic flooring systems used in high-school gyms, college and

professional arenas, and public and private training facilities.

surface. C. All overhead work, wet trades shall be complete in floor work area. 3.2 INSTALLATION A. PREPARATION

1. Locate starting point either by centering off a door, a special focal point in the area, or center of area itself.

2. Adjust center lines so they are perpendicular (90o) to each other. This can be most easily accomplished by measuring along one line three (3) feet (91cm) (or a multiple of three feet) and striking on the line itself. Measure four (4) feet (122cm) (or multiples thereof) along the second line and strike a mark. A line connecting these two (2) points should measure exactly five (5) feet (152cm) (or multiple selected). Adjust lines to form a 3-4-5 triangle -- this assures the 90o relationship. After lines are squared, drop chalk lines every thirty-three (33) inches (838mm).

B. LAYOUT 1. Apply Bostik Best Adhesive over primed concrete, .

2. Install MultiSport units within the grid formed by the chalk lines. Units should be installed with hairline expansion spacing around the perimeter of each unit when installed in an alternating square manner. When installing in a unidirectional or parallel pattern it is only necessary to include the hairline spacing along the sides of each unit, as maple does not shrink or swell appreciably in the grain direction.

3. Best wetting is obtained when product is installed immediately into adhesive. If more tack is needed, the freshly troweled adhesive can be allowed to remain open for up to one hour before installing MultiSport units. This will assist in keeping the units from sliding.

4. A minimum expansion space of 1½" (38mm) should be allowed around the perimeter and all vertical obstructions.

5. MultiSport should be rolled with a 150 pound (68kg) floor roller within 24 hours after installation.

F. Install finish flooring parallel with main playing court by power nailing or stapling approximately 12" (305mm) o.c.. 1. Provide 11/2" (51mm) expansion voids at perimeter and all vertical obstructions.

G. LAYOUT - MULTISPORT 1. Locate starting point either by centering off a door, a special focal point in the area, or the center of

the area itself. 2. Adjust center lines so they are perpendicular (90 degrees) to each other. After lines are squared,

drop chalk lines every thirty-three (33) inches (838mm), and install within the grid formed by the chalk lines.

3. Use Bostik Best Moisture Cure Urethane Adhesive over concrete, wood or particle board. 4. MultiSport units should be installed with hairline expansion spacing along the perimeter of each unit

when installed in an alternating square manner. When installing in a unidirectional or parallel pattern it is only necessary to include spacing along the sides of each unit, as maple does not shrink or swell appreciably in the grain direction.

H. Stop blocking 4”x4” minimum shall be attached to underside of 1st layer of subfloor allowing a maximum of ¼” less than pad thickness where heavy loads are anticipated.

I. Solid blocking shall be attached to areas under bleachers in the closed position. Solid blocking shall match the thickness of system pad. Solid blocking shall be a minimum of 4” wide and 12” O.C.

J. Expansion Provisions-Size joints between maple flooring strips to allow for intermediate expansion in accordance with expected humidity changes and conditions in the space.
