Artist

A stage allows an artist to stand above the audience, making it easier to see.

A deck is the part of a deck that is higher than the rest of the structure. The Persian word tāram , which can be translated as “wooden pavilion” , gave rise to various Arabic concepts that resulted in the word used in our language.

For example: “When I went up to the stage to give the speech, my legs were shaking” , “It is best for the speaker to stand on a platform” , “Please put the boxes on that platform” .

Using a platform

Typically, a platform is used to elevate a person above others, allowing them to be seen clearly from different angles and from a considerable distance. Therefore, when someone must give a speech or show something to an audience, it is usual for them to stand on a platform.

In this way, it must be said that this type of platform is used by artists. In the case of flamenco dancers, they need to have this structure not only so that the public can see them, but also to be able to tap their feet and generate a surprising sound with their footwear that accompanies the music and leaves a record of the feeling. and the passion of this art.

A platform also allows you to highlight some object. In a museum , various vessels can be placed on a platform so that they can be appreciated by visitors.

Decking (the task of installing a deck) can be done with cherry, walnut, pine, or mahogany wood, among others. The most modern platforms can also use bamboo, a material that is confused with wood although it does not belong to this group.

Currently, there are various types of platforms of this type. However, among them the so-called floating floor has taken special prominence. This is identified by being a wooden floor, mainly recommended for homes, which is neither nailed nor glued.

  • It has a cheaper price than traditional solid wood pallets.
  • It is very attractive for the ground.
  • It is more resistant and requires less care than other traditional ones.
  • It can be found in specialized stores of basically two types: solid laminate flooring, which is about two centimeters thick; and multi-layer laminated wood flooring , which has two or more layers, is maintained by techniques such as sanding and varnishing and has a great visual quality. The only drawback it has is that it is somewhat more delicate than the previous one.
  • On the other hand, there is the quick-step platform , which is among the newest on the market and can be purchased in a wide variety of designs.

Pallets must be protected with varnish or other products that improve the resistance and durability of the wood. In this way, the pavement lasts longer in good condition. If necessary, the flooring can be lifted and a new one placed.
