Was this helpful?What's the difference between "Practice Dance Tile Kits" and "Modular Dance Floor Kits"?
Our Practice Dance Kits are composed of Practice dance tiles(https://www.flooringinc.com/dance-flooring/practice-dance-tiles.html), and our Modular Dance Floor Kits are composed of our Modular Grid-Loc Tiles™ (https://www.flooringinc.com/interlocking-tile/modular-grid-loc.html)
Was this helpful?Can two kits be used together? For instance, can you put a 4’X4’ and a 6’X6’ kit together?
Yes, you can interlock multiple Practice Dance Tile Kits to create a larger dance floor surface. You just won't need to use all of the edges that come with each kit.
Was this helpful?Would this floor work in a home gym for exercises like jumping jacks/burpees, etc? The rubber flooring options pull apart with these type of exercises.
These tiles are rigid and would have a hard time coming apart but you should consider a tile that does not have a surface topper. The vinyl image / wood visual topper is on with pressure sensitive adhesive, so it can be moved if there is large movements or pushing going on.
Was this helpful?Hi! Does this need a subfloor? Looking for a temporary practice space for my daughter who does pointe, tap and jazz. It would be on top of a concrete floor. Thank you!
You don't need one but you certain can use one if you'd like to protect your subfloor, lessen sound between floors of your home, or add a small amount of 'give'.
Was this helpful?Is it water resistant?
Yes.
Was this helpful?can you put these outside on grass for dancing events?
If possible, it would be best to include a sturdy subfloor underneath as grass,natural ground often can have variations in height and density which may cause the tiles to slope and even become loose from one another.
Was this helpful?Is it waterproof?
The tiles are made of durable plastic and won't absorb water, but we don't recommend using these tiles in areas with a low of water as it could be dangerous to dance on.
Was this helpful?are the black tiles marley?
No, the tops are not marley.
Was this helpful?If installing on concrete or tile, is an underlayment recommended if my dancer will be doing jumps?
You don't have to, but we would recommend using our foam dance subfloor tiles for some added cushion.
Was this helpful?What can I do so the dance tiles don’t slip ? They are placed over a wood floor. Thank you.
You could add a rubber mat which would be non-slip between the tiles and the wood floor, being sure to remove and store the mat and tiles while not in use.
Was this helpful?Is this floor slippery? Is it good for advanced ballet?
We'd recommend using a product with less seams for advanced ballet, like our 3' x 3' Practice Dance Floor. That is one solid piece of vinyl without seams in the floor space.
Was this helpful?Where can you buy more tiles if you want to expand the kit? Thanks!
Please see our Practice Dance Tile product page to purchase individual tiles.
Was this helpful?Will the dance floor slide around on a wood or tile floor or is it grippy on the bottom?
The bottoms are hard plastic, no grip added. Larger spaces will stay in place due to weight but smaller sizes could potentially move depending on movement and momentum.
Was this helpful?Will the dance tiles damage my finished wood floors if I lay them over the wood? My daughter is home on sabbatical and needs to do her ballet pointe work. Our wood floors are too slippery and therefore possibly dangerous to do pointe.
We would recommend placing something in between your wood floors and the tiles, like a our foam subfloor tiles or a rug to protect your wood flooring.
Was this helpful?Can these tiles be assembled in a different dimension (4 x 10ft) with the appropriate amount of tiles?
Please see our Practice Dance Tiles to build your own custom size area.
Was this helpful?Could you dribble a basketball on it?
Yes you can dribble a basketball on our Practice Dance Tiles.
Was this helpful?How safe is this flooring for pointe shoes?
There are lines where the tiles meet, which may not be completely flush / level with the rest of the tile surface. We'd recommend going with our Flat Top Dance Tile for a safer surface.
Was this helpful?Is the bottom rubber or what is the material please? Do you recommend putting something underneath it to protect hardwood floors?
The tiles is constructed of hard plastic and has several 'feet' which supports the base of the tile. You'll definitely want to put something in between dance tiles and hardwood floor so that the tiles don't damage your floor and so that they don't slide around.
