VAPOR BARRIER A vapor barrier is the first step. It is always needed for installation over concrete or sub-grade floors that do not have a vapor barrier already installed. Vapor barriers prevent moisture from escaping the concrete and being absorbed by the wood subfloor, potentially swelling and warping the wood. (See page 25.)

FLOOR SURFACES When it comes to selecting your studio floor surface, you must consider: Vapor Barrier Sheet Liquid Vapor Barrier budget, movement compatibility, types of dance activity, color, wear characteristics and texture.

FLOATING WOOD SUBFLOOR • Roll-out flooring: All roll-out floors, typically referred to as Marley (vinyl) When creating a dance floor system, a floating wood subfloor floors, are available in a variety of material configurations and a multitude of is one of the most important elements. It provides shock colors. Different flooring surfaces are best suited to specific disciplines. Some absorption, resilience and lateral foot support. (See pages flooring is also multi-disciplinary.

MSDS RATINGS Please visit our web site for complete MSDS details. “Having a high quality dance floor is the most important resource investment any dance studio has to make. We chose Stagestep for three reasons. One, it has a proven pedigree - it is used by major companies across the US. Secondly, Stagestep as a company were with us all the way through the process and supported us from day one. Third, cost. Despite its high quality it is considerably more cost effective than its nearest competitor. I, and my incredibly demanding dance staff are delighted with the floors.” Giles Auckland-Lewis Principal and CEO, Institute of the Arts Barcelona
