TECHNICAL CONSTRUCTION

Champion Dance Floors are precision-crafted!

Wood surface and base
Champion Dance Floors fabrication begins with a single sheet of flawless birch or maple veneer which is fused to a 13-ply, premium quality hardwood base to form the individual panels. Each panel is precision-machined to a 1/64th" tolerance so that it can be perfectly aligned to its sister panel. Then the panels are sealed on the top, bottom and sides with commercial grade polyurethane.

Foam Padding for Sprung Support
Next, high-quality foam pads are placed one foot apart from each other across the entire undersurface of each panel.  This provides uniform cushioning no matter where the dancers steps.  Unlike aluminum-frame floors that are rigid along the edges of each panel and soft in the middle, Champion Dance Floor panels provide "even spring" no matter the dancer steps, lunges or jumps.  This cushioning design results in greater comfort and reduced injuries.
 

Tongue & Groove seams
A unique engineering feature of Champion Dance Floors is its Teflon tongue & groove system.  Each panel is routed on all four sides with a 3/16" groove and then Teflon rods spanning the length of two of the sides are pinned into the slots.  Each rod protrudes half its diameter to form tongue edges.  When mated with the grooved edges of adjacent panels, they produce "tongue & groove" joints that are absolutely snug, thus ensuring a smooth dancing surface no matter where the dancer steps.

Cable-Tuned™ System
The most unique feature of a Champion Dance Floor is its patented Cable-Tuned™ System.  It consists of a series of high-strength aircraft cables that run beneath each row and column of the floor.  They are secured by a special adjustable metal clip along the outer edge of each perimeter panel.  When the cable is tightened, it draws all the panels in each row and column together - fusing them into a single smooth surface.  The fit and finish is so precise that only the fine edge of a razor blade can fit between the seams. 

Integrated Elements
The combination of the Veneer Surface, Foam Padding, Tongue & Groove Seams, Teflon rods, and Cable-Tuned™ Tensioning System provides dancers with finest quality performance surface in the entire dance floor industry.  There are no aluminum edges, no gaps, no uneven sections, no panel creep, no squeaks, no hard or soft spots, no slippery finish.  Take our word for it - once you dance on a Champion Dance Floor you won't want to dance on anything else.  Your feet will truly feel the difference!
