Funderø

Two-strip parquet flooring

Funderø is a two-strip upcycled parquet flooring crafted from offcuts of Junckers' parquet flooring production. Drawing from Junckers' extensive range of wood species and finishes, Funderø is designed with creative mixes of these materials, resulting in a unique product that highlights resource optimisation. The flooring is available in three distinct pattern options and two finish options, offering flexibility to suit various design preferences.

Funderø upcycled parquet flooring gives the traditional parquet floor a modern and environmentally friendly update, without compromising on Junckers' high quality. Funderø is upcycled from offcuts, originating from Junckers' flooring production. Since Junckers offers a wide range of wood species and finishes, Funderø is designed based on the mix of what doesn’t make it to the finish line. With variations in both material and finish, each floor has a unique and visually interesting look, without taking up too much attention in the space. We believe that what sets Funderø apart is our work with mixing wood species, giving our parquet flooring a unique look and feel.

1 Collection

Boards with features unsuitable for Junckers' regular products are removed.

2 Length cutting

The “flawed” sections of the boards are cut into lengths of 895 or 387 mm, ensuring a uniform material flow

3 Packing & storage handling

We sort six different types of wood and finishes to ensure control over the distribution and mix when delivering a Funderø floor.

4 Ready to lay

The boards undergo no additional treatment during production. They are delivered with tongue and groove, ready to be installed in a variety of patterns.

Of wood is recycled into new materials

Wood, as a renewable and ecological material, offers unique benefits for carbon reduction and long-term carbon storage. To fully harness the environmental benefits of wood, two essential considerations must be prioritized: sourcing wood from sustainably managed forests and maximizing the utilization of each tree to minimize waste generation. However, to fully capture these environmental and economic advantages, reuse of wood should be prioritized over recycling. Unlike recycling, which can diminish the structural and aesthetic qualities of wood, reuse preserves the material’s intrinsic value and extends its lifecycle. Prioritizing reuse allows for higher-value applications, reducing the demand for freshly sourced wood and minimizing waste.

From 2016 to 2018, Denmark’s domestic wood consumption rose from 13.1 million to 17.5 million cubic meters. This increase in demand is largely driven by the energy sector, which accounts for 76% of the rise in wood consumption during this period.

90's

Two boards stripts are rotated 90 degrees and come in a different wood type and finish than the rest of the floor. This creates a woven effect, resembling two materials being interlaced.

Crooked Herring

This pattern adds a modern twist to the traditional herringbone plank floor. Each plank consists of two rows of stripes or staves, laid in an uneven pattern. With a mix of wood types and finishes, the floor creates unique experiences depending on the viewing angle

Banded

The pattern runs in one direction, with the row staggering alternating between 129 mm and 450 mm. This creates an effect of the boards being coupled two and two, whilst still blending somewhat into each other

Tender description

Description text, private developer

As flooring, industrially upcycled products are to be purchased and used, in this case: a:gain Funderø parquet floors. The floors consist of surplus and leftovers from Junckers and have been developed in collaboration with a:gain and are marketed and sold by a:gain.

The floors are desired to be in [choose between the two] wood mix beech and maple / wood mix oak/maple. The floors are desired to be in the pattern [choose between the three] 90’s / Crooked Herringbone / Banded.

Generic tender text, EU Tender Rules

As flooring, industrially upcycled parquet floors that are produced/designed from surplus and rejected wood from a Danish floor manufacturing company, are to be purchased and used. The floors must be 21.8 mm ± 2 mm, solid, and come from an ISO14001 certified production company with FSC/PEFC certified wood.

The floors are desired to be in [choose between the two] wood mix beech and maple / wood mix oak/maple. The floors are desired to be in the pattern [choose between the three] 90-degree alignment of planks on each other’s axis / herringbone style / banded. The waste source must be digitally managed in the process to ensure that a) no hazardous substances are included, b) traceability is maintained, and c) the wood used has the correct moisture content and complies with the guidelines for WOOD information.

The supplier must be able to show that internal and external LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) calculations have been performed. There must be an installation guide as well as an operation and maintenance manual for the product. Installation must be carried out by a specialized company with many years of experience in the field. The supplier must have a minimum of 5 completed project references with the specified product. The manufacturer must be a member of a major Danish trade organization. The product must have an available ENV 5.1 supplier declaration on their website in connection with the EU taxonomy.

For the sake of social sustainability and job creation in connection with the green transition, as well as minimal transport of materials, the wood must come from the Danish market and be upcycled in Denmark.

Where do you source the wood? Is it FSC certified?

Funderø is upcycled from offcuts, originating from Junckers’ flooring production. Around 2/3 of the wood origins from FSC and PEFC certified forestry in Denmark, Germany, Poland or Sweden.

What defects can occur on the planks? How many defects are there?

All planks exhibit various defects or ‘qualities’ that results in their rejection during production. Most defects are visual such as knots, water damages, or off-coloured surface finish. Additioinally, minor physical defects such as cracks, small gaps, or uneven surface finish may occor. The less common and more significant physical defects that should be repaired include larger cracks, missing knots, and substantial gaps in the wood. For more info on qualities and their quantities please read our Surface quality and Guidelines found in our Download Centre.

Can I choose a different combination of wood types?

Funderø comes in a standard of either oak or a combination of beech and maple. The selected combination features a mix of glossy and matte surface treatments, with each wood having its own finish. While we do not generally recommend alternative combinations of these wood types, we are open to discussing your preferred choice if your project is substantial and suited to this option. Feel free to reach out to us for further dialogue.

Does the floor need treatment after installation?

The floor is pre treated with a lacquer but filling of bigger holes and cracks is needed. The boards are discarded in production and contain a wider spectrum of surface defects than a virgin material standard flooring. We suggest that only the bigger cavities are repaired. For orders below 200 m², approximately 15 in total per 50 m² are expected, while for orders above 200 m², approximately 20 in total per 50 m² are expected.

Can I mount the planks in a different pattern?

We do not recommend mounting the planks in a different pattern than the ones we specify. The quantities delivered will be specific for the intended pattern, specified upon order.

What is the installation price?

The installation price depends on the selected variant and the total square meters. You can use our price calculator to get an instant estimate, where the price dynamically updates based on your choices. The calculator will also show you the estimated number of installation days.
