Installing your Rosco Reversibel Marley Dance Floor :

1) When your floor arrives:

Please inspect the floor for any damage that may have occurred in shipping. Contact us immediately if the boxes or rolls show signs of mishandling. Once you have determined the condition of your floor allow the floor to warm to room temperature. This is essential in the winter months, as the floor has the potential of being shipped in temperatures below freezing. For Duette, Reversible Dance Floor, Adagio™ and Adagio Tour,  please store the floor in a horizontal position on the core provided in shipping to keep the floor from collapsing on itself. 

2) Preparing your sub-floor:

Proper preparation of your sub-floor is essential to the long-term health of your Rosco Dance Floor. All screw heads, nails and other hard edged protrusions should be removed or covered prior to the installation of your Rosco Dance Floor. These materials can damage your floor beyond repair and cause injury to dancers. Fill cracks in the sub-floor with an appropriate filler and sand smooth.

3) Cutting the floor to fit the space:

If you plan to cut the floor, determine the size of the pieces before you unroll your floor. Traditionally the floor runs the width of the studio or stage, but the seams may run perpendicular to the width of the stage with no ill effects on the floor. Prior to cutting, unroll the floor on a flat surface, preferably your stage or studio. Measure down one edge of the floor to the desired length, make a mark, (measure this distance twice), then measure down the other edge of the floor the same distance. With a straight edge wide enough to meet both of the points you have measured draw a line or with a chalk line snap a line of chalk. Then with a matte knife and a straight edge carefully cut along the chalk line you have snapped. Repeat this procedure for each piece of floor you have cut.

4) Taping the floor:

a) Once you have cut your pieces, allow the floor to lie flat overnight so that any creases or wrinkles will settle out prior to taping the floor. If taping on top of the floor, you should position the first piece of floor, then position the second piece of the floor, leaving an 1/8" (3mm) gap to allow for expansion and contraction. Run your Dance Floor Tape along the length of the seam, covering the gap and attaching to both pieces of floor. Repeat this process for all pieces of floor. Once the seams are taped, tape around the perimeter. 

b) Taping the floor using double stick tape is slightly different. It is best when installing your floor in this fashion to have two people working together to adjust the floor and tape. First, determine the front edge of the first piece of floor you are going to tape down. Once you have decided where the front edge of your floor is going to fall, attach the double stick tape to the floor making sure to leave the plastic covering on the side of the tape that will come in contact with your floor. Then position the first piece of floor over the tape making sure the front edge of the floor is covering the entire width of the tape. Working in 3 foot sections, fold back the corresponding edge of floor, remove the plastic covering on the tape then press the floor onto tape. Complete the entire length of the floor in this fashion. Continue with all the remaining pieces of the floor.

5) Rolling and storage of your floor:

Prior to removal and storage sweep the floor to remove any dirt or materials that might damage the floor when rolled. Remove the tape by pulling up working parallel to the floor so as to minimize movement of the floor before you roll it. Roll the floor on a solid core, keeping the edges as straight as possible to avoid a "coning" effect. Keep the floor rolled as tightly as possible as this will eliminate creases and wrinkles. Tape the floor tightly to keep the floor from unrolling. Wrap the floor in a protective covering, such as Visqene or polyethylene. If there is adequate room, store the floor covering on the ground in a clean area. Try not to stack the floor more than 2 rolls high, the weight of the material may collapse the core and flatten the floor out.
