Temporary DIY Dance Flooring Over Carpet Ideas

Who doesn't love to dance?

Go to any wedding reception in America, and you'll see that people of all ages enjoy dancing. Even at home, we love to put on some music and dance with our loved ones, or maybe by ourselves while no one's watching! Perhaps we have a dance routine that needs to be perfect, or we want to work on our steps before a wedding.

Either way, we need a quality floor. In many cases, we need to install dance flooring over the carpet, creating its own challenges.

Fortunately, Greatmats has a wide selection of items for all your dance floor needs!

What Makes a Good Home Dance Flooring Over Carpet?

There are many options for flooring. Just look at the wide selection of products available from Greatmats, and you'll see numerous options, all with various features and materials. So how can you choose the right dance flooring over carpet product? Keep your eye out for a few specific factors and you'll be on the right track.

First of all, be sure to look for tiles that are easy to install. They should be light enough to move without heavy equipment, and they should snap together firmly with minimal effort on your part. This is especially important when choosing tiles for temporary home dance flooring over carpet; after all, you don't want to struggle to assemble and disassemble the tiles every time.

It's also important that your tile does not damage the carpet. Proper quality flooring over the carpet will not rip up the carpet and leave the place looking worn and destroyed. This is essential when you start looking for a tile that will be used to create temporary dance flooring over carpet.

The tiles you choose should also look good. If you have a facility that is hosting wedding receptions and other parties, an elegant dance floor with a decorative vinyl surface is essential.

Of course, it should also be durable. There's no sense in purchasing a product that will be destroyed after a few dance parties, so be sure to check out the warranties so you know you'll get a product that will last.

Best DIY Dance Flooring Over Carpet Ideas

Portable Dance Floor For Home

No matter where you want to boogie, these portable dance floors from Greatmats will give you the quality, quick installation and support you need. The tiles are made from a polypropylene plastic with a vinyl coating on the top. The plastic base provides a solid foundation, while the vinyl gives the top a durable surface that is visually-pleasing as well. The vinyl top is actually commercial-grade, so you can count on it to last for a long time.

One of the major benefits of this tile is its speed of installation, making it ideal DIY dance flooring over low-pile, low-pad carpet. A dance floor can be assembled by a single person in a relatively short time and disassembled even faster. For added convenience, you can also consider a flooring cart, which allows you to move the tiles into place with ease.

Using a tab-n-loop connection system, the tiles lock together quickly; all you have to do is push down with your foot until they ''click'' into place. The connection system is specifically made for repeated use without damaging the tile, which makes them perfect for facilities that host wedding receptions, anniversary parties, and birthday celebrations.

These tiles are made in the U.S.A and come with a five-year warranty. Best of all, the tiles are available in nine different surface designs, including faux wood and stone tile designs.

Make A Hard Dance Subfloor Over Carpet

These snap-together court tiles are designed for indoor basketball and volleyball courts, but they also make for an excellent dance floor subfloor over carpet. Marley dance flooring can be installed over the top of these tiles. While other tiles have a decorative vinyl top surface, these tiles are made from a single piece of polypropylene plastic.

They lock together firmly using a tab-n-loop system. All you have to do to connect these tiles is move them into place and push down with your foot. The weight of your body will snap the tiles into place and give a tight hold, but they can also be disassembled quickly for fast removal. If you have a large carpeted area, say in a church or YMCA, but you want to place a temporary play area for volleyball, basketball, or dancing, you can use these tiles to quickly assemble a floor. When you're done, removal is just as fast and easy as installation.

These tiles are available in four colors: black, grey, blue and red. However, you can order a custom color to match your specific needs. If you need a specific color to match your school's team colors, please contact us; we'll be happy to help!

When you want an affordable, versatile, and convenient commercial or home dance floor over carpet, you need to order the Court Floor Tile. With a five-year warranty, these tiles deliver the quality, consistency, and longevity you expect.

Marley Dance Floor Over Carpet

Greatmats is proud to offer two high-performance mat systems that are easy to install. The Home Marley Dance Floor systems include either a high-density foam or a plastic modular tile. For each one of these options, Marley flooring is installed over the top of the tiles. The plastic tile version is more stable for installation over the carpet.

Choosing the right underlayment will depend on the existing surface on your floor. When you are installing a permanent or temporary dance floor over concrete, you will want to use the high-density foam option. The high-density foam will provide separation and padding between the surface and the concrete, which will help protect both. The foam gives added protection without sacrificing support for dancers.

High-density foam is not recommended for advanced ballet dance, as it does not provide the firmness needed for advanced ballet moves. For ballet floors, some dancers have found plyometric rubber, which is available in rolls, serves the purpose well. Neither foam nor rubber is recommended for flooring over carpet, however.

If you install home dance flooring over carpet, there is no need for a cushioning underlayment. The carpet itself can provide the padding you need, and flat top tiles can be installed directly overtop. The plastic flat top tiles add stability and firmness while still utilizing the give of the carpet layer below. Top that with some Rosco Adagio Marley dance flooring and your set for virtually any style of dance.
