Floating wood subfloors from Stagestep™ make the dance studio environment safe for movement activities by absorbing the shock and impact of motion. SpringStep™ IV is a sprung subfloor system for semipermanent and permanent installations for dance studios, home studios, theaters, and schools.
What Is SpringStep IV?
SpringStep IV is Stagestep’s easy subfloor option. It has the highest resiliency in our SpringStep collection, which makes it ideal for high-impact activities that require high levels of spring and shock absorption.
Is SpringStep IV Right for You?
If you’re thinking about installing the SpringStep IV subfloor in your home dance studio or theater, you’ll want to consider the following factors that sets SpringStep IV apart from other dance subfloors:
- Easy to Install: Installation can quickly become an unforeseen hassle. SpringStep IV is one of our easiest subfloors to install
- Movable: This floor isn’t made for touring like Springstep V, but the subfloor is made to be able to move a few times in its lifespan. This is perfect for dance studios or home studios in non-permanent living situations like leasing or renting.
- Hassle-Free: No glue, screws or hardwood needed for SpringStep IV
- High Resin: SpringStep IV resists moisture below your floor which prevents decay and mold growth – prolonging the life of your dance floor and subfloor.
Variety of Foam Backing Options
SpringStep IV comes with an option for 4 different foam backings, A,B,C,D. Each type is designed depending on what type of dance you wish to use on the subfloor. Customize your subfloor to fit your dancing needs!
Is SpringStep IV Safe?
High Resilience
A resilient subfloor dissipates the energy from the dancer’s movements, then returns it through safe springing energy. This energy helps the dancer jump and leap. The SpringStep IV wood subfloor system has high resiliency.
Lateral Foot Support
Lateral foot support helps dancers stay balanced and disperses energy over a wide surface area. SpringStep IV protects dancers and enhances their stability and safety.
High Energy Absorption
The SpringStep IV system absorbs the shock of the dancer’s active motion, making the flooring more yielding for joint protection.
Dance Styles
Springstep IV has 4 foam backing options to support your own dancing style needs. These options include the following dance styles:
- Multipurpose dance
- Cheer
- Jazz
- Folk
- Aerobics
- Tap
- Ballet
- Ethnic
- Modern
- Theater
Specifications
The SpringStep IV dance subfloor is made with prefabricated 2-foot by 2-foot random wafer (oriented strand) board panels that sit on high-density L-shaped foam suspension forms. The hardwood chips are set in a moisture-resistant resin. Each panel weighs 6.5 pounds, and Stagestep includes the shock absorption and wood layers. Any telegraphing that occurs with the SpringStep IV components is not a defect, so it will not impact the wear and performance. Floating subfloors telegraph seams from below.
