Floors-FAQ

1. Can I put your floors down over cement?
Yes, you can put the floors down over cement, however it will not provide the cushioning dancers need to prevent injury. For the best protection you should provide a sprung wood or basket weave floor.  Consider our portable SubFloor.

2. Which of your floors can I use to tap on?
The only floors we recommend you tap on are Performance floor and Roscoleum. The sound will not be as crisp as if you were tapping on wood. The surface is also good for Jazz, Ballet, and Modern.

3. My brand new floor has ripples in it, what should I do?
Our floors are made of 100% Poly-vinyl Chloride (PVC). PVC tends to have "memory". To solve this problem unroll your floor and let it rest overnight. This should take care of the problem. Lay the floor tape at one end and pull the other end until it is smooth and flat. Be careful not to over stretch your floor.

4. How should I store my floor?
Since our floors are made of PVC, you should make sure to wrap your floor around a tube that is at least three inches in diameter. The tube should be durable enough to hold up to the weight of your floor. You don’t want your floor to collapse the tube and sit in a folded state. The memory of the PVC will make the creases semi-permanent.

5. How heavy is Dance floor?
Dance floor weighs 3.2 lbs. per square yd. Performance floor weighs 7 lbs. per square yd. Show floor and Studio floor are both 6 lbs. per square yard. Rosco Tiles weighs 12 lbs. each.
