Harlequin Woodspring

Harlequin WoodSpring sprung dance floor draws on concepts dating back to the 19th century. Our modern interpretation blends a traditional construction approach with the technology of today’s materials. The “spring” in basketweave construction comes from the natural flexing and recovery of the triple layer of battens, which is enhanced by shock-absorbent elastomer pads.
Acoustical and thermal insulation are ensured by the placement of fiberglass insulation into the construction. The selection of lumber, batten and pad spacing, insulation and installation are proprietary to Harlequin and critical to long-term performance. Harlequin’s tried and tested design has established the corporation’s unrivaled reputation in this specialized are. Each custom installation is backed by the Harlequin warranty.
Harlequin WoodSpring basketweave system is only available for installation by Harlequin’s Contracts division or by approved installers under the supervision of one of the trained technicians.


• Traditional basket weave design
•  Improved by today’s technology
•  For stage or studio use
•  Permanent installation by our Contracts Division
• Area elasticity’ provides ‘give’ or flexion over the section where a performer lands
• Point elasticity’ offers compression at the point of contact
• Limitation of flexing to avoid disturbing fellow performers
• Elimination of excessive rebound, commonly termed the ‘trampoline effect’
• Uniform suspension across the whole floor eliminates ‘hard spots’ experienced with traditional wood floors
• Consistent shock absorption dramatically reduces injury risk and enhances performance
