Studio Dance Floor
Ballet dancing requires a floor that has a soft surface with just the right amount of grip. A surface with the right level of traction is required to minimise the chance of slipping and falling but also not too much. Studio Vinyl is a heavy duty 2mm thick homogeneous vinyl with fiberglass ply for additional dimensional stability. Studio Vinyl is a meant to be a permanent install, with either a full glue down or an undertape loose lay. Available in gray or black, it’s most appropriate for Ballet, Jazz, and Modern Dance. The Gerstung Home Studio Our Home Ballet Barres and Floors are easy to use, set-up and store at home.

- Birch Subfloor with Studiofloor Vinyl - No rosin required for pointe work. ASTM Friction Coefficient of 0.79 and 70% shock absorption.
- Ash Sprung Dance Floor - Requires rosin for pointe work. ASTM Friction Coefficient of 0.7 and 70% shock absorption.
