Hi everyone, I just found this site and am completely new to these forums but have a burning question I've been trying to solve for years. We are doing various musical productions and now want to build our own showdecks for each individual production. With tracks, turntables, lifts, special effects etc. built in them.
Does anyone know what the big broadway shows use as decks/how they make them? I know they usually build a metal framework with wood on top, but how do they paint/coat it and what kind of wood do they use? Sometimes the floors look much more durable than normally painted wood and almost plastic-like. Also, we painted our last wooden floor and coated it, but we did a taproutine on it and it muted all the tap sound. Really looking for solutions.
Any help would be appreciated!
