What is Sprung Wood Flooring?

What are the Benefits of Sprung Wood Flooring?

Easy Installation 

Optimal Grip Resistance 

Grip resistance and traction play a big role in injury prevention. You need to create a balance that still allows the body to move freely but without slipping over. For example, dancers are constantly moving, and too much traction can increase the risk of injury just as not enough traction. Sprung wood flooring has been designed with dance and fitness in mind to provide optimal grip resistance.

Shock-Absorbing Underlay 

The shock-absorbing properties of sprung flooring are ideal for dealing with shock and impact. Over time, repetitive movements and exercises can take a toll on joints and bones. Sprung flooring creates a bouncy effect while providing comfort underfoot. This bounce gives users good feedback and encourages a great level of energy return. 

Shock absorption is not only important for safety but playability and performance. Not only does it increase comfort, but it helps to prevent fatigue and allows players to perform for longer at an optimal level. Injury prevention and energy return are vital for performance. If you were to perform a high impact exercise on concrete, your body would experience excess impact stress. This is because the flooring is not absorbing any of the shock. It’s generally more jarring on the joints to work out on a hard surface without any support. 

4 Ways to Use Sprung Wood Flooring 

Fitness and Dance Studios 

Often, wood gym flooring is the go-to option for commercial fitness spaces and dance studios. This is because it’s designed to support the body to optimise performance and reduce the risk of injury. In fitness and dance, foot placement, bounce, and traction are all essential. If you use the wrong kind of flooring for this type of exercise, it could increase the risk of injury. Injuries could take days if not weeks to recover from.

Community Halls

Community halls tend to need a versatile and multipurpose flooring. One day you might be holding a meeting and the next day a yoga class. By installing a surface that enhances performance and provides plenty of traction, you can create a safe foundation for several uses. As sprung wood flooring is easy to clean and maintain, it doesn’t require any special treatment and should last for years to come.

Sports Centres and School Gyms 

Sports centres and school gyms mainly host sports and exercise. However, these types of facilities need to be multipurpose. In a school gym, you can hold an after school badminton club or be hosting parents evening. With a sports centre, they tend to be used for some racket sports like badminton as well as fitness classes and the occasional child’s party or community event. Creating a space that is multifunctional and safe while enhancing sport performance is key. These types of areas usually see a ton of traffic from school children and the public. It’s crucial the sports centre flooring can handle a high level of traffic. 

Church Halls 

Similar to school gyms and community halls, church halls need to be a versatile space. From church events to Christmas markets and meditation classes, they have a lot of applications. Sprung wood flooring not only looks great but provides a safe base to perform several activities. Whether it’s fitness related or not, a sprung flooring system will support the body and reduce the impact on your joints. 

"our hall holds fitness classes and sports clubs as well as toddler groups and parties.  We needed a robust floor that could handle lots of traffic.  The flooring has been outstanding - we're all enjoying the upgrade.  It has made our little hall feel spacious and modern"
