A dance floor can cost between £9.80 per m² and £156.00 per m². Installation and subfloor preparation can also play a factor in determining the final price. Vinyl dance floors are the most affordable and can be easily self-installed. In contrast, a sprung floor with professional installation would be more expensive.
Not only is the material itself low-cost, but it can also be self-installed. If you don’t mind some DIY, installing a dance floor yourself can potentially save thousands on professional installation.
A sprung dance floor is more expensive than the standard vinyl option but offers valuable shock absorption. They’re also visually stunning and can completely transform the look and feel of a dance space.
Take your time when searching for a dance floor. After all, it’s not something you purchase every day.Think about the dance styles you offer or could offer in the future, and how you intend to use your studio space long-term.You can request samples, site visits and even visit Le Mark’s demo studio to try the floors yourself to make sure you’re getting exactly what you want from your purchase.
The subfloor is the foundation beneath the finished dance floor. If your subfloor is clean, smooth, level and free from damp, there should be minimal preparation work prior to installation.However, some floors may need screeding, damp proofing or other work, so be sure to get advice from a reputable flooring provider, like us, before you begin the installation.
Having your dance floor installed by a professional is always recommended to ensure they perform at their best. However, if you’re looking to save costs, you can take this on yourself. We’ve tried to make this as simple as possible with our installation guides:
