LVT Floors

Installing LVT vinyl flooring requires a perfectly clean, level, and dry subfloor. Uneven surfaces can cause telegraphing, gaps, or instability. Planks or tiles must acclimate to the room temperature before installation to ensure proper fit.

For complete instructions, recommended adhesives, and environmental requirements, follow the Stagestep installation guide.

LVT floor tiles offer the aesthetic of wood with far better resistance to moisture, scratches, and temperature changes. They do not warp or swell and require significantly less upkeep than natural hardwood.

Although LVT is visually similar to wood, it does not provide the same spring or flexibility. For dance environments where safety and shock absorption are priorities, a sprung dance subfloor is usually recommended.

Installation is super simple and fast. The interlocking system allows the tiles or planks to click securely into place, creating a seamless surface without adhesives. Many studio owners choose Studiostep LVT because it can be installed in just a few hours with minimal disruption.

Pricing for vinyl LVT flooring varies widely because products range from entry level tiles to premium studio grade systems like StudioStep LVT. Costs depend on wear layer thickness, design quality, and whether you choose click lock or glue down installation.

Studios should also factor in subfloor prep and labor when budgeting. For a clearer picture of how LVT compares to other flooring investments, visit the Stagestep dance floor cost guide.

Studiostep LVT is NOT designed for dance movement. It is intended for non dance areas where durability and appearance matter more than traction or impact resistance. For active movement spaces, it is best to choose a surface from Stagestep’s collection of dance floors.

An LVT floor is durable and comfortable for general movement, fitness, and rehearsals, but it is not intended to replace a professional dance surface. For ballet, jazz, tap, modern, or contemporary work, dancers need a performance layer that provides the correct traction and slip resistance.

Studios often use LVT as the visual or functional base layer and then add a proper vinyl dance surface. Explore Stagestep’s collection of Marley dance floors for dance specific applications.

Studios often use transition strips, protective mats, carts, cleaners, and other tools to keep LVT looking and performing well. Stagestep’s full collection of studio accessories provides everything needed for setup, organization, and maintenance.

LVT vinyl flooring is a luxury vinyl tile system designed to replicate the look of wood while offering high durability, moisture resistance, and stability. It performs well in multipurpose environments, rehearsal rooms, and studio spaces that require a tough and low maintenance surface.

Its layered construction helps reduce sound, withstand heavy use, and maintain its appearance over time. Stagestep’s StudioStep LVT is engineered specifically for studio environments that need a clean wood look without the maintenance requirements of real hardwood.

Studiostep LVT is made for the areas in your studio where dancers spend time off the floor, such as hallways, dressing rooms, reception areas and common spaces. It gives you a stylish, durable surface that fits the flow of a busy studio while still looking polished and professional.

It requires very little. Routine sweeping and occasional damp cleaning are all it needs to stay looking fresh. The surface is resistant to dirt and marks, so it is an ideal low effort solution for studios that want a clean, modern look without constant attention.
