The enterprise which was founded in 1866 is today managed by Peter Hamberger and Dr. Peter M. Hamberger, in the fourth and fifth generation. Besides the Sports Flooring division, Hamberger Industriewerke also includes the divisions Flooring, comprising hardwood, veneer, laminate and cork flooring, Sanitary Ware, and Farming and Forestry. With a staff of approx. 1300 employees and on a production area of 250 000 m² (i.e. approx. 60 acres), an annual turnover of approx. 200 million Euro is achieved. The export share of the company is more than 35%; exports are world-wide into over 50 countries.

HARO Sports - the sport floor division of Hamberger (HARO: abbreviation for Hamberger Rosenheim) – is one of the main players in the sports flooring market worldwide. We have been developing and producing sports floors for over 45 years and have installed sports floors in more than 6,000 arenas world-wide. HARO Sports is represented in over 50 countries internationally from the USA to New Zealand.

Hardwood sports flooring as well as sub-constructions suitable for synthetic coverage belong to our product range. All of our flooring systems meet the demands of the German DIN 18032, part 2, as well as international standards, e.g. British standard BS 7044, NSF, Austrian norm etc. In addition to this, our hardwood floors are officially approved by the International Basketball Association (FIBA).

Shock Absorption

 

Force reduction is the ability of a sports floor to absorb the shock of an impact. In this test, the athlete must not be exposed to more than 47% of the impact, when compared to a non-resilient floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Standard Deformation

 

The Standard deformation defines the vertical deformation of the sports floor under load. The minimum deflection required by this test is 2.3 mm under a load of 1500N.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deformation Control

 

The deformation is measured in a distance of 500mm from the point of vertical impact (by a falling weight of 20kg). The maximum deformation must not be higher than 15%.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ball Reaction

 

Defines the height in % terms a basketball bounces on an area-elastic sports floor, when compared to the ball rebound on a non-resilient floor. The ball rebound must be = 90%.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friction

 

The friction test determines the properties of a flooring surface, with regard to quick turns by the athlete and the prevention of uncontrolled sliding. Required sliding distance: 0.4–0.6 m

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Behavior under Rolling Load

 

This test shows the ability of an area-elastic sports floor to withstand loads from seating areas/bleachers, portable basketball goals or transport carts for aerobic mats. Minimum requirement: the sports flooring should withstand a load per axle of 1500 N without damage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Helsinki Top 10

 

The new Helsinki 10 Top is a refinement of the Helsinki series, which have been well-known and successful since the 80’s. Its excellent properties such as 100% ball-rebound with shock absorption of approximately 57% testify its sports functional quality.

The extremely low construction height of 31.6 mm turns it into a multi talent when it comes to reconstructions or new buildings. Especially when renovating older area elastic sports floors, this low construction height offers the simple and convenient possibility of just laying the new system atop the old one. Due to this low height, this floor also offers a very low thermal resistance for subfloor heating.

Its 10 mm PU foam guarantees optimal shock absorption, also with heavy weights. The pre-fabricated parquet elements already carry their own shock absorption and need merely be connected and glued together on site.

The 12.6 mm sports parquet with a solid wood layer of 3.6 mm and the factory applied “Permadur” sealing offers an ideal solution, also for multifunctional halls.

Stockholm

 

Model Stockholm is the most economical HARO Sports hardwood floor, utilising an elastic batten or single swing beam system. It can be installed on raw concrete, even if the sub-floor is not perfectly even, since the uneven parts can be levelled simply by placing an equalising material under the swing-beam pads. Model Stockholm features a HARO Sports hardwood floor with a 12.6 mm thickness, consisting of a premium choice hardwood top layer supported by a top-quality plywood core layer.


The 3.6 mm hardwood top layer receives a factory-applied PERMADUR“ finish for superior performance and surface protection. Stockholm 10 fully meets the requirements of the German DIN V Standard 18032-2; April 2001, and is officially approved by the Federation of International Basketball Association (FIBA).

Melbourne

 

Model Melbourne 65 Top is an area-elastic sports floor for squash and racket sport applications. This model features a HARO Sports hardwood flooring with a 18.6 mm thickness. The 3.6 mm hardwood top layer receives a factory-applied SST“ depth impregnation providing a unique grip for the players. This finish has exclusively been developed for Squash and Racquetball courts matching the needs of one of the fastest and most exhausting indoor ball games.


Model Melbourne has been accredited by the World Squash Federation (WSF) and holds a valid WSF Approval. Our squash flooring have already been used for dozens of world cups, including Bermuda Squash Open, US Open, Canadian Classic, Tournament of Champions at Grand Central Station NY, Kuwait Open, PSA Squashmasters, Canadian Closed and many many more.

Rome 20

 

Rome 20 is a portable floor for applications in multi-purpose arenas and ice rinks. It features a patented interlocking system that makes setup and disassembling incredibly fast. Rome 20 needs to be installed on an even sub-floor. The slab should be level according to DIN 18032, part II and DIN 18202:1997-04, figure 3 (compare with “PART 1 – GENERAL” 1.1 Tolerances).  The set-up goes very fast. Every panel incorporates a pair of spring clips and connection discs to secure it to adjacent panels; no pins or screws are required to attach panels together. One 2.14 x 1.07m panel (3’-6 x 7’) weighs just 37 kg (82 lbs) accelerating the setup process exceptionally.

Model Rome 25 features a HARO Sports hardwood floorings with 12.6 mm thickness consisting of a premium choice hardwood top layer supported by a top-quality plywood core layer. The 3.6mm hardwood top layer receives a factory applied PERMADUR finish for superior performance and surface protection. Rome 25 fully meets the requirements of German DIN standard 18032-2 and is officially approved by the international Basketball Association (FIBA).

Berlin

 

Model Berlin 13 is a so-called sprung floor or double swing beam system. It can be installed from raw concrete, the sub-floor does not necessarily need to be perfectly even, since uneven parts can be levelled by putting equalising material under the swing beam pads.

Model Berlin features a HARO Sports hardwood floorings with 12.6 mm thickness consisting of a premium choice hardwood top layer supported by a top-quality plywood core and solid spruce finger strips. The 3.6mm hardwood top layer receives a factory applied PERMADUR“ finish for superior performance and surface protection.
