Specialty Flooring for Dance and Stage
Harlequin AeroDeck® is an ultra lightweight modular sprung floor, manufactured from engineered panels with elastomer blocks, which are located at regular intervals on the underside. Panels are laid in brickwork fashion on the sub-floor so that cross-joins do not coincide. They are linked to each other by a radiussed tongue and groove pivot joint and secured by means of a unique locking system, which removes the need to fix the panels mechanically to the sub-floor.

Stage Floors
Harlequin Liberty® Switch is a professional multi-use floor system which transforms between a rigid theatrical floor and a sprung performance floor at the touch of a button. It is designed for venues who regularly put on both dance and theatrical performances and require both a sprung and a rigid floor in the same performance or rehearsal space.
Harlequin Liberty Switch enables a Harlequin Liberty LatchLoc sprung floor to be transformed to a rigid (unsprung) floor quickly and easily. This is achieved by using moving carriages which engage with stop blocks on the underside of the Liberty panels to create a rigid floor and disengage to create a sprung floor.
