Wider rolls, fewer seams: reversible marley for big, clean installs.
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 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.
