Harlequin Liberty Portable Sprung Floor Panels
When you need a sprung dance floor for portable or permanent installation, Harlequin Liberty™ is the floor for you! Liberty is quick to install for stage and theater floor needs, and cost efficient to install for dance studio, music studio, or rehearsal areas. Even those hard exhibit floors can be less painful if they have Liberty panels underneath.

Applications
Harlequin Liberty panels can be used as a sub-floor for all types of dance, including, and especially percussive. They can also be used for trade shows and exhibits, in houses of worship, etc. Anywhere a raised floor is needed for performance or exhibit, Liberty panels can be used. A suitable Harlequin vinyl dance surface (sometimes referred to as a "marley floor") must be used on top of the panels.
Design and Construction
Harlequin Liberty is a modular dance floor manufactured from engineered boards with closed cell elastomer blocks on the underside. This gives uniform and consistent shock damping. The panels are installed in a brickwork fashion on the sub-floor so that cross joins do not coincide. They are linked to each other by a radiussed pivot joint.
The pivot joint extends along the panel edges to within 13/16” of the corners ensuring the corners are protected from flexion under load. The edges are also carefully supported by elastomer blocks.
