HOW TO SET UP/TEAR DOWN THE DANCE FLOOR

The following are a few key tips that will make your installation process trouble-free:

✓ Start your installation from one side and work your way towards the other side. Be sure to have your female (looped) edges facing the direction you are building on. All tiles on any given installation should always have the female loops going in the same direction.

✓ Caution: If you inadvertently rotate a tile 90 degrees it will snap into place, but you will not be able to complete the installation properly.

✓ During your floor installation, keep nothing on top of the floor as your floor will self-correct as you go.

✓ Never try to glue down or fasten your floor; it is designed to expand and contract.

✓ It is important that all debris be removed from the underlying surface before laying tiles, eliminating lumps.

✓ The dance floor tiles should go over a firm, flat surface such as concrete or thin commercial grade carpet. If going over uneven or less firm surfaces, a subsurface like plywood may be required. Another option is our FastDeck floor if going outdoors over grass, gravel or sand.

✓ Day-to-day cleaning is performed by sweeping and mopping. An all purpose cleaner or any no wax kitchen floor cleaner will work.

✓ For scuff marks, use “Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.” 

✓ To aid in separating the floor, slide a broom handle under the floor at a joint and slide it along the joint to gently separate the locks. To disengage tiles make sure you are angling the bottoms of the tiles towards each other, doing it the other way could cause unnessecary breakage.

DO NOTS:

-When seprating the dance floor, do not lift at the seam. 

-When putting together the dance floor do not mix the directions of the male and female parts.

-When storing the dance floor, place face to face and not bottom of the floor and the face of the floor on top each other.
