Adjustable sports floors
Designed floor systems for sports and dance halls, where the build-up must carry dynamic loads, provide the right resilience underfoot, and control impact sound to rooms below or beside the hall.
Discuss a projectKey characteristics
- Build-up height: selected for load, resilience, and the finish package.
- Primary use: sports and dance halls.
- Installation method: dry.
- Main purpose: a stable, load-ready plane with controlled resilience.
- Additional options: acoustic decoupling and underfloor ventilation where required.
Build-up for sports loads
Sports and dance floors see point loads from equipment, dense group activity, and repeated impact. Supports, boards, and the finish package are selected together for the expected static and dynamic loads of the hall.
Dry adjustable construction forms a true plane without a thick wet screed under the whole area. That keeps programme control on renovation of school gyms, club halls, and multi-use spaces while leaving a stable base for the sports surface.
Resilience and acoustics
Resilience underfoot depends on the full build-up: supports, boards, and the sports or dance covering. The package is tuned to the activity – ball sports, fitness, or dance – rather than copied from a generic office floor.
Where the hall sits over classrooms, offices, or other occupied rooms, damping elements reduce impact transfer. Acoustic detailing and load capacity are checked together so isolation does not undermine the sports performance of the floor.

FAQ
- Is one build-up suitable for every sport?
- No. Load, resilience, and covering requirements differ between ball sports, fitness, and dance. The floor package is selected for the actual use of the hall, not as a single universal sports sandwich.
- Can the system be used in a dance studio?
- Yes, when resilience, level accuracy, and the dance covering are specified for studio use. Acoustic isolation can be added if rooms below or beside the studio need protection from impact sound.
- Is ventilation under a sports floor possible?
- Yes, where moisture or air quality under the deck requires it. Ventilation paths are coordinated with the sports build-up so airflow does not weaken load or acoustic performance.
