Talk:Sprung floor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Historical information.. somewhere?

I'm having trouble finding information on how older sprung-wood floors were constructed. So I'm using weasel words like "mechanically cushioned". I mean, based on the wiki article Cantilever, I can guess the dance floor is a bit like a diving board, but I have nothing to back me up. (Also, I have difficulty imagining a room constructed on the far end of a Cantilever that didn't slant to the side, or sag in the middle. There must more to it than that.)

Meanwhile, I found some sales samples of a product used for modern sprung dance floors.. now I just need to grab my camera and take a picture for this article.

[edit] Terminology

This is giving me a bit of trouble. I'm more from the dance side of things but it should include sports and other floors. I think I'l go back to 'surface' for a layer on top and use 'mat' for where cushionng is included in what is laid down on top of another floor. -Dmcq 10:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
