Harlequin Studio™ vinyl dance floor
American Academy, Paris
Harlequin Studio is a hardwearing floor-covering designed for dance, studio and stage use. It is a complex vinyl construction incorporating a strong mineral fibre interply, a support layer and a firm, closed-cell foam backing.
The top dance surface is produced from a particularly hard-wearing vinyl and its formulation focuses on the demands of dancers. The result is a slip-resistant floor to reassure performers, and a predicable surface that gives dancers the confidence needed for demanding choreography and movement. The firm but lightweight foam backing helps to protect against hard subfloors.
Harlequin Studio stays firmly in place on the floor and is excellent for touring. It can be laid on any hard, smooth surface, such as particle board, hardwood, terrazzo, concrete and vinyl tile. It is an excellent surface for a sprung subfloor.
