• Q: Hello, I was wondering if this is meant to never be moved or if it would be OK to roll/unroll as needed (I share the space with others that use shoes that could ruin the marley).

  A: That would be fine.

• Q: does this marley roll need a subfloor underneath or can it be used over LVP hardwood?

  A: The Rosco Marley Mat can be installed directly over LVP or hardwood. It doesn’t need a subfloor, as long as the surface underneath is clean, flat, and dry. Keep in mind that marley adds very little cushioning. For light practice like ballet barre, stretching, or turns, laying it over a hard floor works well. If you’ll be doing a lot of jumping, we recommend adding our 3/8" Home Dance Subfloor Tiles or 3/4" Home Dance Subfloor Tiles underneath to reduce impact on your joints. If you use the included double-sided tape over LVP or hardwood, test a small hidden area first, since some tapes can leave residue or affect certain finishes.
