Site datum + slab check
Establish the project datum and check the concrete base. The current instructions specify a reference deviation of no more than 5 mm under a 2 m straightedge.

ATHREN Timber · Installation Planning
Base-first installation planning for sprung timber sports floors.
A structured interpretation of the current single- and double-batten installation instructions, with disputed details deliberately held for project confirmation.
09installation planning stages
Installation sequence
Resolve the slab before the playing surface arrives.
The current documents make slab level, batten set-out, moisture control, movement and ventilation part of the complete floor system rather than installer afterthoughts.
Clean + level
Remove loose mortar and debris, survey the base and identify local height differences before timber installation starts.
Set out the batten grid
Set out the timber support lines to the approved project drawing. Current installation references use a 400 mm planning grid in the batten layout.
Install resilient supports
Fit the lower rubber levelling / shock-support elements. Exact spacing is held for the selected construction before installation.
Install battens
Install the single batten layer or the lower + upper batten arrangement for the double system, then complete accurate levelling.
Install 19 mm subfloor
Lay the solid-pine subfloor approximately 45° to the timber battens, with documented gaps between rough-board rows.
Moisture membrane
Install the 0.5 mm EPE membrane with joints taped and arranged to avoid unsuitable overlap.
Install birch playing surface
Lay the finished boards in the approved venue orientation, using the specified fixing method and movement provisions.
Expansion + ventilation
Provide perimeter expansion and the project-specific intermediate movement / ventilation details shown in the current installation instructions.
Important: the available installation references contain conflicting rubber-pad spacing references. The public installation guide therefore does not publish a final pad spacing until the approved project installation information is issued.
ATHREN · technical diagrams
Two sprung timber systems, drawn as complete floor build-ups.
These original diagrams translate the current installation documents into a clean ATHREN planning language. They show documented layer order and nominal build heights, while disputed spacing and model-specific performance remain deliberately unlabelled.
T-01
SINGLE-BATTEN SYSTEM
Approx. 105 mm suspended build-up.
Birch playing surface over moisture control, solid-pine subfloor, timber battens and resilient rubber support.
T-02
DOUBLE-BATTEN SYSTEM
Approx. 158 mm suspended build-up.
Two timber batten layers separated by intermediate resilient pads, over a lower resilient levelling layer.
T-03
BASE + EXPANSION COORDINATION
Slab flatness, expansion and ventilation belong in the same floor brief.
Current instructions document a ≤5 mm / 2 m base check, perimeter expansion, intermediate movement provisions and finished-floor ventilation.
Before release
Use the installation guide with the project brief.
Finished-floor level, slab moisture, underfloor services, wall interfaces, sockets and court equipment should be coordinated before the batten layout is frozen.

What is ATHREN Timber Flooring Installation Guide?
Installation planning for sprung timber sports floors covering datum and slab checks, cleaning, batten set-out, resilient supports, timber layers, 19 mm…
What projects are suitable for athren timber flooring installation guide?
Typical project pathways include residential projects, commercial projects, hospitality projects, and international projects. Final suitability depends on the exact configuration, site conditions, operating requirements and destination.
What information is needed to specify athren timber flooring installation guide?
Before specification or quotation, the project review should confirm: Verified product specifications or documented product facts; Clear applications, limitations and configuration boundaries; Project inputs required for manual quotation or technical review; Apollo supply-only scope and purchaser/local-project responsibilities. Claims are kept tied to the exact proposed system rather than transferred from a related product or reference configuration.
Can Apollo NZ Global supply athren timber flooring installation guide internationally?
Apollo can supply suitable projects internationally where the product and destination pathway are current. Send the project location, intended use, dimensions or quantities, timing, relevant drawings or photographs, and any known performance, compliance or environmental requirements for review.
