Selected Product
The Elgood Universal Television Studio Floor System.
Dynamic Camera Pedestal Performance.
The floor must provide a surface that is free from any defects which will result in vibration passing from the camera pedestal to the camera as the pedestal is tracked across the floor.
Studio Floor Durability.
The Elgood studio floor system has a 4mm thick wearing surface to resist the the heavy use associated with a modern production studio floor.
Antistatic
Anti static finish as standard to eliminate nuisance static electricity that would otherwise interfere with camera use.
Painting
The Studio floor can receive semi permanent studio floor paints such as Mylands and be scrubbed clean as a matter of routine.
The original sub floor was old granolithic-topped concrete that varied in level by 40 mm which we had to transform into a floor suitable for multiple camera pedestals and multiple sets. Residues of paint and latex screed and adhesive had to be removed using a combination of preparation machines.
The floor had to be beyond SR1 (SR1 is not sufficient for a studio floor) to ensure that cameras cannot roll from a static position anywhere on the floor. The surface had to be free from any defects which would result in vibration passing from the camera pedestal to the camera as it is tracked across the floor.
Elgood Studio Flooring is the only company to have a purpose designed studio floor system and the associated unique installation methods required for television studios.
We were proud to continue our association with the BBC.
