Dance Floors Go Green With Cork Flooring

When you are choosing a dance floor for your studio, special occasion, or party, there are many different options afforded to you not only in size and texture of the floor but also in the materials that your floor is made from. For those who have adopted a greener existence or who just want the most versatile, resilient dance floor, consider cork flooring as one of your options.

A cork dance floor is different from the traditional dance floor options in that it is literally made from cork pieces which are coated to allow for you to dance easily on the surface. Cork flooring, like other cork products, is a greener solution to your dance floor needs as all of the materials are one hundred percent recyclable. The floor is also much lighter in weight than any of its contemporaries, allowing it to be more easily transported, assembled, and stored when not in use. The floor also will not suffer if anything is dropped or spilled on the surface as it is easy to clean up any messes without leaving marks.

Cork flooring has a greater resiliency for dancers than even the floating hardwood floors which are found in many dance studios. The cork easily absorbs the shock of jumps, leaps, turns, and gymnastics, allowing for a greater range of motion by the dancer without risking any of the injury. Even falling on a cork floor is easier on your joints and bones than falling on the best of wooden floors because it is not as hard of a surface and maintains its springiness. The cork floor will not break down or flatten with consistent, continued use and can be placed directly over your subflooring rather than having to be installed over a system of springs, frames, or pads.

The downside for using cork as a traditional dance studio floor is that it is softer than a hardwood or laminate floor. This means that any taps or heeled shoes that are used on the floor will not have the same acoustics that they normally would. Because of the softness of the floor it is actually difficult to tap dance or clog on it at all, especially since the floor muffles the sounds created by your shoes.

Cork flooring is a great choice for anyone who wants a floor that can easily be moved or used outside. As the floor will not be harmed by the elements or use over an uneven surface, it is ideal for anyone looking for a dance floor for an outdoor wedding reception. Like other dance floors, the cork dance floor is created in tile sections, allowing the floor to take up as much or as little space as necessary for your event. It can be easily taken apart and snapped back together by virtually anyone because of how lightweight the panels for the flooring are. A cork floor can also be custom made if it is to be a permanent addition to your room, allowing the floor to be cut in larger sections to create a more custom look.
