As long as the subfloor contains a sturdy, flat surface, it’ll provide the base required for this layout. Customers can add black border edging with a gradual ramp to the portable dance floor tiles to prevent tripping, while delivering a beautiful finishing touch.

Stage Flooring

Vinyl stage flooring in a theater setting is used for numerous events. At a school, it may need to support the weight of risers for a choir or to hold up under the stress of heavy scenery for a play. In these use cases, using marleys probably wouldn’t be the best choice, as they could become damaged from the equipment.

However, when the stage is going to host a recital or a musical, the quality of the event might require high quality ballet floor mat models. We have models that do not yield glares from the material, which makes them an ideal option for theaters.

Often times, stages consist of a hardwood that can create glares for the audience under the strong theater lighting. Our no glare design yields the ideal alternative, eliminating reflection from the lights. Once the performance is finished, just roll it up for storage until the next time.

Matching it to the existing décor in a building or room is simple. Most use a vinyl top layer, which allows it to appear in various colors and styles.

We offer solid colors, including black, gray, and white with glare proof configurations. These are ideal for recitals and theater musicals, where avoiding glares from powerful lighting is important.

We also have multiple options a faux stained wood finish. Choosing this style of portable dance floor circle is a good idea if using the dance tiles for setting up a party area for a wedding or similar event. It looks impressive, yet it is tough enough to stand up to repeated uses. We offer a few different wooden grain styles and color selections too.

One of the best features is the size of the stackable pieces or rolls. Between practicing sessions or recitals, storing the materials doesn’t require a lot of space backstage or in a prop room.

To further simplify the process of moving them into and out of storage, we have wooden carts. Stack the individual tiles onto the sturdy four-wheeled cart and quickly move the tiles wherever they need to go. The cart is long enough to carry the weight and size of rolls too.
