Specs & Dimensions

Our spring floor systems are built using 5' × 5' pre-assembled panels, making installation faster and more efficient for training facilities. This modular design allows panels to connect easily, helping you create a consistent spring floor surface while simplifying setup and layout planning.

Structural Components:

  • Dual-Layer Baltic Birch Plywood Deck – Two layers of high-strength Baltic Birch plywood.(~0.875" thickness)
  • High-Performance Coil Springs – Steel springs mounted beneath the panels provide responsive cushioning and help reduce impact stress during tumbling and dynamic movements.
  • Even Spring Distribution – Springs are evenly spaced to ensure consistent performance and shock absorption across the entire floor. Each spring includes top and bottom caps secured with screws.
  • Foam & Carpet Surface Layer – The spring floor system is designed to be topped with carpet bonded foam or other athletic mat systems, adding additional cushioning and athlete comfort.

This layered construction creates a responsive training surface that improves athlete safety while supporting high-energy movements used in cheer, gymnastics, martial arts, and fitness training.

Installation Instructions

  • Step 1 — Prepare the Subfloor
    Ensure the surface is flat, level, and clean, typically concrete or another solid base.
  • Step 2 — Lay the Spring Panels
    Place the spring-mounted panels starting in one corner and work toward the opposite side of the room.
  • Step 3 — Connect the Panels
    Position each panel next to the previous one and use the blue alignment marks on the panels as a guide to ensure the panels are properly aligned.
  • Step 4 — Install the Top Deck Layer
    Place the second plywood layer in a staggered layout to create a consistent floor response across the surface.
  • Step 5 — Add Foam and Carpet Surface
    Cover the decking with vinyl sports mats or carpet bonded foam rolls.
  • Step 6 (Optional) — Finish the Edges
    Install floor borders or skirting to create a clean edge and protect the sides of the floor.
