How To Create A Dance Floor

By Joshua Morgan


Commercial floors are being made by professionals but building can still be done in homes. Plywood is the most common one that can installed. However, its durability must be improved by using sealants. When being constructed in a room that has carpets, build one that can be folded up and easy to store and moving it. If you prefer the permanent type, use a multilayered floor that has some impact absorbing subflooring. When it concerns with Illuminated Dance Floors, individuals must hire a professional to install the floorings if they have the money for it.

The structure would be better if it have a cushioned absorbent as a subfloor. Most floors are being constructed on top of concrete. This might be dangerous for dancers. To have safety and comfort, the floor itself must spring to avoid any injuries. The easiest one is to apply dense foam around the structure.

Determine which side will be the surface. Before fastening them together, inspect the sides first. Position it with the sides and the other must be facing down. The sides of boards must be facing upwards and it will be at the bottom. This will give a spot where to attach the hinges to fasten them altogether.

Attach both the sheets with a hinge. Putting a hinge will make it easier to move around and store it if not being used. A piano hinge is the most sufficient type because it can accommodate both the boards but attaching smaller ones in multiple sections will do the same. To fasten the hinges, use wood screws. The screws must be shorter than the plywoods thickness. Position the hinge where the board can rest side by side when being opened.

Purchase custom made spring floor panels. These materials and cushions can be purchased in performance halls and high tier dance studios and stages. It can easily be attach together and cover the whole surface. It could also be easy to assemble and moved and even taken apart. This will become an easy and convenient route.

Follow the recommendations from the manufacturers of the sealant. Be sure to follow the directions closely because they will ensure to have a smooth and good seal. The guidelines will probably be to clean the board with various mineral spirits, sand it, apply the coating with a brush and allow it to dry for some time.

The trim must be glued down. Just use a wood glue to make sure the edges are being fastened in the corners. The half pieces should be put on the right side. After the glue has dried up, hammer the nails into the trim at least a foot apart. The nails must be driven slightly downwards.

Ask your loved ones and friends for consultation. They may have constructed in their own homes a dance floor or have purchased one and installed by the company. They can share their experiences and knowledge on how to properly install one.

Price will not be an issue. There are lots of alternatives that can be done to have your very own dance floor. It does not have to be expensive. The most important part is that you can practice your dance moves at the comfort of your own homes.
