Floor coverings - help needed

[ialwaysgethit]

Hi every body, I hope you can help.

WE train in a scout hut, so we do not have the pleasure of training on matts. We train on a softwood floor, which the "varnish" and "stain" and everything else that has been put on it has been rubbed of due the sand which the play school during the day uses.

We have offered to send the floor down and re coat it, but the problem is with what. as it needs to do the following.

Fill gaps

None slippy

Nice under foot, barefoot

Hard wearing for foot, and table and chair traffic

Non toxic, due to children

Not much fumes or tixic when applied

Stop the wood from splinttering

Possible addaption to some glues to stick bits of floor down.

I know this is a long list, but can any body help, any products and where to get them from and how much.

I know matts would be a great apption but we dont have 3 or 4k to spend on them and any way there is no where to store them.

Please please will some one "jim will fix it for me"

ta muchly
