Home Dance Studio Subflooring
Our Home Dance Subfloor 1-1/4 Inch Thick Per SF provides an affordable and high quality dance studio underlayment flooring system that'll give your studio a professional look while keeping safety in mind.
We've compiled the best reasons to make use of our subfloor for dance floor areas, helping you select the best dance studio flooring for your particular needs.
We offer the foam material in 2x2 ft tiles and plastic layer in 1x1 foot tiles.
1. Sturdy and Durable Dance Subfloor
The bottom layer of our interlocking subfloor consists of 5/8 inch thick foam material in tile format. This provides a cushioned underlayment in home dance studio environments. The base layer is easy to install, simply piece the the foam puzzle tiles together.
The foam tiles are durable and will last for years under light use, while the non-slip surface will keep your second layer of dance subfloor from shifting underneath a marley surface material, which can be installed on top of the hard, plastic tiles. (The optional marley surface is sold separately.)
The second layer of the dance floor subfloor is an durable layer of 5/8 inch thick raised polypropylene tiles. These hard snap-together tiles will fit tightly together with their interlocking subfloor design, ensuring they will not separate at the seams.
The subfloor for dance spaces is long lasting raised tile, meaning you can trust the quality of the materials used in the dance sub floor. The tiles all are manufactured within tolerance standards, which ensures the longevity of the floor, as well as an easy installation.
The subflooring layers can be cleaned using a damp mop and any common household cleaner. If using the layers separately, be sure to allow all components to dry completely after cleaning before re-stacking the layers of the professional dance flooring system. While the layers of the Home Dance Studio Subfloor are waterproof, moisture can become trapped beneath or between the tiles, especially if you add a marley surface on top. Allowing everything to dry completely before reinstalling will help prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
2. Portable Design
Should you need a diy subfloor for dance that you can move at some time, both layers of this professional dance studio subfloor system are free floating and can be un-installed and reinstalled if needed.
With this design, you easily can assemble and disassemble the subfloor for dance floor. You don't need any adhesives or special tools to put together this flooring option.
Each individual plastic tile is small and lightweight, measuring 12 x 12 inches and covers one SF. These dance subfloor tiles measure 5/8 inch in thickness and weigh less than 1 pound each, making it an ideal option for carrying to new locations. The foam tiles are 2x2 feet in size and cover 4 square feet per tile. This cushioned layer is 5/8 inch thick and weigh just 1 pound per foam tile.
Additionally, the both layers dance floor tiles are also easy to cut to fit around posts or other obstacles. You can create wall-to-wall or island installations, depending on your needs for the subfloor in each different location.
3. Simple DIY Installation
Installation of the subfloor for dance floor system is an extremely easy process. You'll be able to fully install this product yourself without needing professional help.
First, the tiles are small and lightweight, making it easy for one person to maneuver them into place. Second, the foam subfloor requires no special tools or adhesive for installation, as the interlocking channels ensure that each tile remains in place without the worry of having edges pop loose and cause a tripping hazard. Third, the tiles and flooring are thin enough for the dance subfloor that you can cut them to fit any space with a utility knife and a straightedge.
We do recommend that you allow the tiles to sit in the building or room in which they'll be installed for 24-48 hours before installing them, allowing the tiles to acclimate to the humidity level and temperature of the room. Additionally, you should leave a slight gap of between 0.25 inches and 1 inch between the edge of the tiles and the wall of the room in a wall-to-wall installation.
If you have concerns about moisture in the area where you'll be installing the subfloor, such as in basements where the hard flooring may have moisture appear on it, we recommend you perform a moisture test before installing the floor.
If you want to place an optional marley layer over the top of the plastic tiles, set up the marley floor so that it doesn't completely cover the plastic tile layer. You'll want a gap of about one inch where the marley floor ends and where the plastic layer ends. This will allow you to tape down the marley floor onto the plastic floor, ensuring it doesn't slip out of place. The friction between the foam layer and the plastic tiles ensures that these two layers will not slide against each other, causing slippage, but tape may be needed to keep the marley layer in place.
Keep in mind that the primary purpose of the two layers of the Home Dance Studio Subfloor system is to provide proper support and cushioning for your marley dance floor.
If you chose to use the layers of this flooring for something other than a dance floor, it's easy to turn it back into its normal form as a professional dance studio floor. Simply put the layers back together, just as you did with the original installation, and you're ready to use it as a dance floor once again. All of the layers of the dance studio subfloor are easy to install, disassemble and reinstall.

Product Questions:
Q: How does this floor sound with the marley on top for a hard tapper? Will it hold up?
Q: I received the Adagio vinyl flooring for my top layer and the vinyl tape. I understand how to tape the pieces together, but I am unsure of what to tape it to on the sides. So do I tape the vinyl to the court flooring or the cement?
Q: Will the plastic tiles remain in place once they are put on top? The concern is, if the Marley is being taped to the tiles, what is to stop it from moving around, especially if this is not installed wall-to-wall?
Q: Would this be good under laminate?
Q: Does this price include both layers? Can these layers be bought separately?
Q: We are looking for a dance floor to install in our upstairs bonus room. We want something safe for her since she will be spending many hours on the floor dancing, and we also want something that will help keep the noise of her dancing from being so loud in the room below the dance area.
Q: We are building a garage this fall, and we'd like it to be multi-purpose for vehicles, ballet, and tap dancing. Would this be durable enough to park a vehicle on it? Or is there any other floor you'd suggest?
Q: Can this be used on a basement cement floor with radiant heat (heat in the floor)? Or if not, how quick is it to take apart a 10 x 10 area if we pack it up after my daughter rehearses?
Q: If I top this with Marley, will this be appropriate for tap and pointe?
Q: Can this subfloor be used for basic dancing without a top layer such as a Marley?
Q: Can I place oak hardwood on top of this? Will it work well?

We did all our homework, and Greatmats was a super good fit for us. It was easy to handle. It was easy to install. It does well for all forms of dance that we do and is very, very durable. We're quite happy.
We have had absolutely no injuries to hamstrings, no shin splints - anything that would be caused by too hard of a floor. In our applications, it is equally as good as any wood sprung floor.''
We have had really good success with tap on this floor - good sound all the way around. It's very comfortable for them. I have beginners to advanced on pointe on this floor, and it's fine.
We just love the service, and we've had good success.

It was very easy to transport and install using simple carts on wheels, lightweight enough for anyone to help with the installation. I was very impressed with how little time it took to install the floor.
Jumping felt great right away. This system definitely felt MUCH better on the joints when compared to the other floors we have performed on. Our bodies were not as sore from the shock of landings the next day.

I just wanted to reach out and tell you how much we appreciate your guidance through ordering, shipping and set-up. My dancer's floor is all set up and she is working on it daily! I feel so much better that her risk to injury (from dancing a concrete) has been reduced.
