Portable Sprung Subfloors
AB-300 • AB-400 • AB-500
All Gerstung Portable floors are AirBase Sprung Floors. The Gerstung subfloor design is the only floor that gives both localized resilience and shock absorbency on a stable structure. The formulated Energy Blocks on a stable structure compresses and recovers quickly- better than anything on the market, the result is an even, shock absorbent, resilient floor. The cushioning feature, the "slight flex” in the floor is followed by a "slight rebound," for safer take offs, landings, and joint fatigue.
For over 50 years Gerstung Floors have been tested and used world wide. Quite a few floors at 50yrs of age are still absorbing and providing resiliency to many dancers and athletes.
All Gerstung Floors provide no tools needed Click On Borders for a firm perimeter and Ramps providing a gentle entrance and exit for dancers.

We closed our summer performances last Friday and the floor was amazing! Our dancers and artistic staff have given it a glowing review. We installed it on a raised deck as well as on concrete and it worked equally as well on both surfaces. We were able to assemble a 32’x 24’ size in 40 minutes with 4 guys. Really slick!
