FIXED SYSTEMS

STA-LOC SYSTEMS

Sta-Loc Systems feature steel channels securely fastened to the concrete slab with flathead anchors. Special heavy-duty steel clips placed into the channels fit between the tongue and groove of adjacent flooring strips, locking the hard maple together, minimizing expansion. Sta-Loc maple is available in 25/32" or 33/32" thicknesses.

The Sta-Lock I System combines most features of the Sta-Loc System with a clip which fits into the groove of the 27/32" thick flooring strips and up tightly against the edge of the adjoining strip.

The Sta-Loc II System clip fits into a specially-milled groove under the tongue and fits up tightly to the face of the adjoining strip, providing maximum strength. Sta-Loc II is available only in the 33/32" thickness.

MATERIALS - STA-LOC SYSTEMS

1. Finish Flooring: STA-LOC, 25/32" or 33/32" by 2 1/4" or 1 1/2" wide, STA-LOC I 27/32" thick by 2 1/4" wide, or STA-LOC II 33/32" thick by 2 1/4" wide, continuous tongue and groove and end-matched Horner Northern Hard Maple, treated with WOODLIFE F preservative if so specified.
2. Resilient Underlayment: Horner Foam, 1/2" x 4'0" 150' pre-grooved, multi-cellular, closed cell plastic foam, density: 2.0 PCF, or Horner 1/2" grooved board.
3. STA-LOC Channels: 16 gauge, hot-dipped galvanized steel.
4. STA-LOC Clips: 16 or 18 gauge steel, design as appropriate to system (see right).
5. Wall Base: 1" x 2" Horner Maple molding.

SLAB DEPRESSION

• Concrete slab depression for Sta-Loc and Sta-Loc II Systems shall be 1 1/2" for 33/32" thick flooring, and 1 1/4" for 25/32" thick flooring.

• Concrete slab depression for Sta-Loc I System shall be 1 1/4".

STA-FAST SYSTEM

A channel floor system with the economy of a nail-down floor, the Horner Sta-Fast System is a low-cost alternative to a traditional channel system. The Sta-Fast Floor incorporates a special nailing strip consisting of a hardwood core in a metal channel. The flooring is nailed directly into the strip with barbed cleats, eliminating the need for channel clips.

MATERIALS - STA FAST SYSTEM

1. Finish Flooring: STA-FAST 25/32" thick or 33/32" thick x 2 1/4" or 1 1/2" wide, continuous tongue and groove and end-matched Horner Northern Hard Maple, treated with WOODLIFE F preservative if so specified.
2. Subfloor: Horner "Grooved Foam" resilient underlayment, 5/8" x 4' x 150' closed-cell polyethylene foam, with factory-channeled grooves.
3. STA-FAST Nailing Strips: 3/8" treated hardwood plywood in a 22-gauge galvanized steel channel.
4. Wall Base: 3" x 4" Ventcove heavy duty molded, vented vinyl cove base with pre-molded outside corners and mitered inside corners.

SLAB DEPRESSION

• Concrete slab depression shall e 1 3/8" for 25/32" thick flooring and 1 5/8" for 33/32" thick flooring.

FIXED SLEEPER SYSTEM

Horner's Fixed Sleeper Floor System is the oldest proven maple sports flooring system available, and is designed for high performance, resiliency, and reliability. 2" x 4" (nominal) sleepers are anchored to a concrete slab, and a 1" x 6" (nominal) subfloor is laid at an angle on top of the sleepers. This arrangement allows for uniform air circulation, reducing the possibility of bulking and cupping brought on by excessive moisture buildup.

MATERIALS - FIXED SLEEPER SYSTEM

1. Finish Flooring: 33/32" or 25/32" thick x 2 1/4" or 1 1/2" wide, continuous tongue and groove and end-matched Horner Northern Hard Maple, treated with WOODLIFE F preservative if so specified.
2. Sleepers: 2" x 4" (nominal), fir,spruce, or hemlock, S4S, treated with WOODLIFE F preservative.
3. Subfloor: 1" x 6" (nominal), No. 2, fir, spruce, or hemlock, S2S to 3/4" x 6", or 15/32" x 4' x 8' APA rated sheathing plywood, exposure 1.
4. Primer: asphalt cut back applied at 275 sq. ft./gallon.
5. Mastic/Grout: hot pour steep roofing asphalt.
6. Wall Base: 3" x 4" Ventcove heavy duty molded, vented vinyl base with premolded outside corners and mitered inside corners.

SLAB DEPRESSION

• Concrete slab depression shall be 3 1/8" for 25/32" flooring, or 3 3/8" for 33/32" flooring.
