Most Common Product Questions For life floor at Greatmats:
If this Marley is not reversible how do we know which side to lay down?
The shinny side goes down on this marley material.
Can this be installed over carpet? It is a flat loop-style
No, this marley vinyl sheeting material does require a hard flat surface for installation. For other options over carpeting, visit this <a href='/portable-dance-floor/best-dance-floors-for-over-carpeting.php'>blog</a>.
Can I put it on top of interlocking foam tiles?
We have a high density interlocking foam tile that can be used under this vinyl marley as an underlayment.
if i lay this down over cement or tile will it still sound good with the tap shoes? and can i use the double sided tape underneath instead of taping it on top?
You could install this over concrete, but its not good for the dancers, some type of subfloor or underlayment is recommended. As for the sound, any hard flat surface will sound good. You can use our vinyl single sided tape around the perimeter if you like.
Is the Flooring heat resistant
Good question, the Rvalue would be minimal. As for absorbing heat outdoors in the sun, not sure about that question, as it's primarily used indoors and not rated for sun exposure.
I have a concrete floor in my basement at present. We are planning to lay a laminate that has underlay attached. Could I put this flooring over a portion of the room once the laminate is laid as a small ballet/jazz area for my daughter? I am wondering if the laminate with underlay and the Adagio on top would be enough to protect her from shin splints.
Yes you can install the Adagio over the laminate. As for an underlayment option, we would recommend either our high density foam tiles called Sport Plus Designer, or our Plyometric rubber underlayment material in 3/8 inch. We have a blog about <a href='/dance-flooring/how-to-soften-a-hard-dance-floor.php'>softening hard dance floors</a> which may be helpful.
is this floor portable? My studio may move?
Yes, this marley dance floor can be taped down for semi-permanent type installation.
Watching the video that shows the 3-part flooring system being used in a dance studio, I noticed the shape of the plastic court tiles showing through the marley floor. Is that typical?
Yes you can expect the square shape of the plastic tiles to translate up through the marley over time.
If I install the Adagio vinyl floor over foam tiles, can I install the Adagio floor by welding together the pieces of vinyl floor, instead of using single-sided tape?
Yes the vinyl can be heat welded together.
Do you ship to Canada? If so how long would it usually take? You are able to cut the rolls to pre-determined lengths if we send you the measurements, but you can't cut the width? By that I mean make the rolls narrower? Thanks.
We do ship to Canada. For a quote and lead time, please contact one of our reps, as it varies. The rolls are 5.25 feet wide only.
What type of flooring is best for tap dancing?
The Adagio Marley is great for tap dancing with the correct subfloor.
Can vinyl flooring go outside?
The marley flooring is for indoor use only.
We have purchased, locally, 7 rolls of Rosco Adagio Marley roll down flooring and our flooring contractor has asked the question ''Is a surface of Spruce Plywood Sheathing suitable as a base layer for the roll down flooring''. Of course, below that 2nd layer of plywood will be rubber ISO cushions on plywood.
Yes, that would be suitable as a sub surface for the Marley.
Do you ever sell marley dance floor remnants?
Check our Clearance products page for Marley. We do have discounted options available on occasion.
What tape do you recommend for Adagio that won't be slippery?
You can use a Gaffers tape over the Adagio in instead of the smooth vinyl dance floor tape.
How long does this marley flooring typically last?
There are factors that will determine how many years this floor will last. There are customers that have this flooring for over 20 years.
