Q: I am installing a dance studio floor. The owners have a laminate in one of their studios but it is hard on the dancers shoes. They would like some type of floor they can put a topcoat on, but we cannot nail the floor down. It will be going over a tile floor. Any suggestions?
A: I’d probably look at an engineered floor with a click joint for installation so it floats. See what Torly’s or Quick Step has to offer.
