[SML] Sprung floor specs

[Amile Wilson]

Hey Bill, 

We have a portable sprung floor. I’ve never seen actual specs, but I have seen a WIDE range of “springiness.” I did find this on one of the vendor sites for the type of foam they pair with standard wafer board.

Hope this helps.

I can find all kinds on info on sprung floors, but no actual specs on how much “give” is appropriate. The happy medium between too hard and too springy seems to be “just right”. Hard to measure that...
