In traditional wooden sprung floors, there has always been an inconsistency of flex over the floor area due to the necessity to use bearers in construction. This problem has now been eliminated by combining an engineered wooden surface with Harlequin Activity Floor, a unique fully floating construction of semi flexible panels supported on a cellular layer with no need to fix to the sub floor. The resulting floor is 'shock damped' and combines point and area elasticity to offer identical characteristics across the whole floor.
Current installation projects include the New Cut Arts Centre in Halesworth, Suffolk and the Interchange Studios in North West London. Meanwhile a mahogany surface version is being laid in Crystal Cruise Lines' new ship 'Galaxy' currently being fitted out in St. Nazaire, France.
