 Below
are some of the most commonly asked questions about dance floors and
O'Mara Sprung Floors. If you do not find an answer to your question
here, please Click Here to Contact Us.
What
is a Sprung Floor?
A sprung floor is suspended above an existing hard surface, such as
concrete, hardwood or tile glued to concrete, using material designed
to absorb shock.
Who
needs a Sprung Floor?
Any person who is jumping or engages in intense physical activity needs
a sprung floor.
Why
does a person need a sprung floor?
Concrete floors and other unyielding surfaces can create physical problems
as they do not "give". A good sprung floor absorbs energy
and returns a small portion back to the user. It provides an even and
consistent resiliency.
What
needs to be done prior to the installation of my new O'Mara Sprung Floor?
1. The sub floor must be clean, dry and flat within a 1/8" for
a 10' radius.
2. Cement floors must cure for a minimum of 30 days prior to installation.
3. New construction should have 6 mil. plastic below the concrete. (ask
your builder) If you are uncertain, you must seal concrete or install
with 6 mil. plastic on top.
4. Old cement floors must be sealed with cement sealer or proper vapor
barrier.
