Sprung floor

When sprung floors flooring for sports halls are referred to, the yield under stress.

A distinction area elastic sprung floors that give way when loading in a large area and point-elastic sports floors, where the so-called deformation trough is barely larger than the incriminating object. In addition, the DIN 18032 distinguishes yet combines elastic and mixed elastic sports floors that combine advantages of area- and point-elastic floors in their properties.

Area elastic sprung floors are usually made of double-layer wood strips as an oscillating carrier, a false bottom with a board distance of 50-70 mm and a screw- on load distribution plate. As a wearing surface then wood or plastic floor coverings can be applied. If a floor applied as wear layer, then one speaks of vibrating floor, as is customary, especially in dance schools and ballet studios.

Point-elastic sprung floors are simpler in construction; they consist of a foam layer carrying a flexible plastic floor covering.
