Dance Floor Q&A
How do you install a dance floor mat over concrete?
When
placing a dance floor over concrete, start with an underlayment. For professional studios, use our
Elite Subfloor or the
Rosco Sprung floor. For home dancers choose
Sports Plus Designer Foam Tiles. These high density 2x2 ft pieces separate the cement and the vinyl. Then place the Marley vinyl over the base. Install with vinyl tape on the edges.
What is the best flooring for a dance floor?
Start by thinking about the plans for using it.
- A sprung floor will have a bit of rebound for a dancer, featuring a structure of wood and PE foam.
- Adagio marley is made to support both hard and soft shoes. It offers excellent slip resistance. It is popular for ballet, tap, modern, jazz, hip hop, and lyrical genres.
- We suggest snap together tiles for events. They are portable and easy to assemble. The design resembles a beautiful hardwood that can handle any type of dancing event. Banquet halls, hotels, DJs, and rental companies can make regular use of this product.
What type of Greatmats dance floor is best as a tap dancing floor?
Tap dancers need a hard Marley like the Rosco Adagio. The
Greatmats Elite subflooring system has one section of rubber underlayment with a firm upper plastic layer to produce a
great sound for tap dance flooring. With vinyl, understand that aluminum taps may cause oxidation marks. Black color in the flooring hides the markings better than gray.
How do I choose the best flooring for dancers?
Most customers need to focus on
slip resistance and shock absorption. Certain types of dance styles require a non-slip surface, such as modern, ballet, and tap. Ballroom dancers need to be able to slide easily. Shock absorption in the subfloor can protect the dancers from potential injuries during long practice sessions.
