New stage floor

[VenueTech]

Hi all

 

Work at a medium sized theatre in North London and need a new stage laid.

Will need the existing underfloor sanded and finished before laying a hardboard layer.

Does anyone know of a company who do this specifically? Been looking into shop Fitters but was just trying to narrow down my search.

 

Many Thanks

Hi and welcome to the BR.

 

There have been discussions on stage flooring (including hardboard vs MDF etc) here in the past - have a search around and see what you can find.

 

I'm curious though - is there a reason why the underfloor needs sanding? Is it that uneven that a top layer of board will be unstable/lumpy?

It would not surprise me if the underfloor has been trashed and needs cleaning up and then covering to protect ( that is why my floor is covered)

 

I am back in work soon and I have a number of a company who will sand and seal it but for my 12x9m floor it was about £2k maybe £3 now. Sprung dance floor / sports hall people would be the best bet.

Yea basically floor is half wood and half concrete so it just needs generations of paint and cr*p removing before laying of nice new hardboard floor.

Will take a look into sports hall people I just think that those types of companies will only do a very expensive wooden parquet type.

You might be best enquiring with small local building firms. Small fairly simple jobs like this are often bread and butter to these sort of companies.

Might be worth looking in to sports floor people as once its stripped back if you get it sealed it will last longer and should prevent any more damage.
