Sprung Flooring Systems

Ther Performing Arts have people who perform extraordinary gymnastics and athletic feats in dance and other performance.  It is the demand of these athletes that places such a high requirement on the need for “protection” by way of a very efficient Sprung Floors System which can  absorb the “shocks” and assist the body movement by the “spring” of the floor system.

The “Air-Thrust” type system is most usually installed with a Hardwood Flooring System in the form of a very light coloured Mosaic Parquet Floor.  The use of parquetry as a multi-direction  Wood Floor System, allows it to be installed anywhere in Australia in up to 4,0000 m² at a time, without any intermediate requirements for construction or expansion joints.

These facts have been well recognised in the extensive works effected by the Thrust Floors Group over the past 54 years with many major stadiums being constructed in Cairns and far north Queensland, Darwin and many projects in Asia.

Many key installations carried out in both Australia and elsewhere are well represented among an impressive array of well known structures that are listed on the “Air-Thrust” catalogue that can be down loaded from this web site  (press here).

“Air-Thrust” type floors carry an unmatched 35 Year Guarantee.

The “Care & Maintenance” of our “Air-Thrust” type Sprung Floors System is so much easier than for any other wood flooring system.  This is because of the very tightly fitting nature of the parquetry flooring playing surface.  When sanded and finished it produces a very “slick” surface with excellent “glide” and is totally free of the open gaps and spacing joints that must be built into conventional hardwood floor boards.  These must provide for a minimum of 10mm of internal expansion every  6 metres across the width of the boards.

No matter how often you clean a normal board floor, dynamic activities causes sand and grit to jump out of the joints and onto the playing surface of the floor, causing cuts and scratches and excessive wear to the surface.  The most powerful performance of our “Air-Thrust” Sprung Floors System is best exemplified by Wollongong Council’s 28 years  of outstanding performance from the Sprung Floors System installed in the Beaton Park Basketball Stadium, for school and community use every day of the week.  The 28 years of extraordinary performance before the first occasion that these floors were resurfaced, delivered extraordinary savings to this Council, when similar facilities can often require resurfacing in as little as 2-4 years !

“Air-Thrust” Sprung Floors offer more than just outstanding performance, but the ability to generate significant savings in the area of scheduled maintenance all backed by the company’s unique 35 Years Guarantee!
