What makes Encore a professional transportable floor?

Encore gives you a true studio quality hardwood surface with the convenience of a portable system. Its click and lock panels create a seamless floor that feels solid underfoot, making it a favorite for dancers who need performance level quality anywhere they go.

Does Encore have a built in subfloor?

Yes, and this is one of its biggest strengths. Encore includes an integrated sprung subfloor that helps reduce joint stress and gives dancers healthier impact absorption. This makes it ideal for both percussive styles and highly athletic work.

How easy is the Encore installation process?

The click and lock mechanism makes setup simple. Panels connect without tools, sanding or finishing, so you can cover a full room and remove it just as easily when needed. Many studios choose Encore because it can be installed permanently, semi permanently or only when required for special events.
