Flip it when you need a different feel. Built for soft shoes, daily class wear, and studios that don't want to compromise.

Inspect prior to installation — manufacturing defects are covered by warranty. Faulty installation, improper use, and normal wear are not cause for a warranty claim.
Two distinct surfaces in one reversible roll — flip it when the repertoire changes.
Lay it down once and you're done. No subfloor work, no adhesives, no studio downtime longer than a lunch break.
Lay the rolls flat in the studio for 24 hours so the vinyl matches the room's temperature and humidity.
Tip · 65–75°F and under 60% RH is the sweet spot.
Concrete or sprung wood, the only thing under our flooring should be the sub-floor itself — no dust, no debris.
Start at the longest wall. Unfurl with the printed arrows pointing the same direction across the whole room.
Tip · Leave a ⅛" expansion gap at every wall — the vinyl breathes.
Butt seams tight. Run double-sided marley seam tape down the middle of each join and perimeter tape around the edges.
Light foot-roll along seams, then dance class as normal. Most studios open the next morning.
Three quick habits will keep your floor looking studio-fresh year after year.
