Variable Performance Flooring

Variable performance flooring is a flooring system that can be tuned to a specific use or preference. By using a different underlayment or resilient pads, specific characteristics of a floor can be changed. For instance, a competition floor may be tuned to return the maximum amount of energy to the athlete while a practice floor made be tuned to reduce injury and fatigue. The laws of physics dictate that not every desirable characteristic of a floor can be met simultaneously, however we can meet most of the ones important to the customer and their needs.

A variable performance floor system is designed to allow changes to specific specifications as dictated by the customer.
