thedancingpineapple Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 If my wood floor is just over 2 inches thick, is it safe to practice leaps and jumps on? I don't know what's under that, but I don't think it's cement. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 It's not so much how thick the floor is, it's more a question of whether it's been surfaced with varnish and even waxed. If so, it's not a good idea to work on it. The classic wooden ballet floor is not waxed or surfaced, simply planed and sanded down to perfect smoothness. The old rule of building such floors was either hard over soft or vice versa. In other words, hardwood was laid over softwood joists, or pine or fir was laid over oak beams. Quote Link to comment
