Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sprung Floor?
A sprung floor is suspended above an existing hard surface, such as concrete hardwood or tile glued to concrete, using material designed to absorb shock.
Who needs a Sprung Floor?
Any person who is jumping or engages in intense physical activity needs a sprung floor.
Why does a person need a sprung floor?
Concrete floors and other unyielding surfaces can create physical problems as they do not "give". A good sprung floor absorbs energy and returns a small portion back to the user. It provides an even and consistent resiliency.

How are the panels attached to each other? How many would be required?
Panels are held together using our patented O'Mara Cable Tuned™ System that tensions the panels together from underneath the floor. Each section is 2’ x 4’. Therefore 3 panels for a 4’x 6’ floor, and 2 panels for a 4’ x 4’ floor.

Each 2’ x 4’ panel weighs approximately 20 pounds.
