Transforming a Dance Studio with STRUCTApanel 12mm

The Importance of Subfloor in Dance Studios

Flooring underlay plays a pivotal role in sports and fitness facilities, particularly in dance studios, where it is essential to cushion dancers' movements and minimise impact.

A dance subfloor is more than just a supportive layer; it is crucial for the well-being of the dancers. It reduces stress on their joints and prevents injuries caused by repetitive impact.

FAD Cheer and Dance Studio in Ipswich chose STRUCTApanel over plywood to avoid the rough and inconsistent surface of plywood showing through the rubber dance matting. They also needed a strong, termite-treated panel with high fixing capacity. STRUCTApanel 12mm emerged as the ideal choice, providing these key benefits seamlessly.

The Project Requirements

The dance studio required a subfloor that could withstand the constant impact of dancers' movements, from jumps and spins to intense footwork.

The client emphasised the need for a flooring underlay that would cushion these movements, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing the dancers' overall experience.

The installer, with a keen understanding of these requirements, proposed STRUCTApanel H2 12mm in a double-layer system with shock absorption pads on the bottom panel.
