What is a Sprung Floor?
A sprung floor is a type of flooring that absorbs shock because it has a built-in bounce.
The floor uses layers of cushioning materials or a system of battens and pads that create flexibility. This design reduces impact injuries because it lessens stress on joints and muscles.
Sprung floors are common in dance studios, gyms, and sports halls because they provide comfort and improve performance.
Why are Sprung Floors Popular?
Sprung floors are highly sought after because they deliver the ideal combination of support and flexibility, improving performance while helping to prevent injuries.
Unlike traditional hard flooring, a professionally installed sprung floor absorbs movement, making it perfect for spaces where regular physical activity takes place and safety is a priority.
How much does a Sprung Floor Cost?
The average cost of a sprung floor is £80 to over £120 per square metre.
The cost of sprung floor installation depends on the system type, venue size, and chosen surface finish.
Costs are primarily influenced by subfloor preparation, the use of underlays, specialist finishes such as timber, vinyl, or linoleum, and the venue's performance requirements.
Larger sports halls and facilities needing high-performance systems will typically sit at the higher end of the scale.
What are the Benefits of Sprung Floors?
Sprung floors provide shock absorption that reduces stress on joints and muscles, which lowers the risk of injury during high-impact activity.
A sprung floor's resilient surface improves performance because movement feels lighter and more controlled. They increase comfort by reducing fatigue, especially in long training or rehearsal sessions.
The sprung flooring also protects against long-term wear on the body because it cushions repetitive impact.
For venues, sprung floors add value because they meet safety standards and enhance the quality of the space for dance, sport, and performance.
Do Contractors Provide Maintenance and Repairs for Sprung Floors?
Our flooring specialists provide ongoing maintenance and repair services to keep sprung floors in top condition, which may include resealing timber surfaces, repairing damaged sections, or replacing worn finishes.
Regular care ensures the floor continues to perform safely and effectively, extending its lifespan and maintaining compliance with safety standards.
Is a Sprung Floor the Same as a Floating Floor?
A sprung floor and a floating floor are not the same.
A sprung floor is built to absorb shock because it uses pads, battens or foam layers that create controlled flex. A floating floor is built to sit freely on top of a subfloor because it is not fixed with nails or glue.
Some sprung floors are floating by design because they are laid loose over a base. Not all floating floors are sprung because many give no shock absorption.
