FLORLOK®
Portable Dance Floor laying instructions
The Florlok® portable dance floor consists of
FULL
and
HALF
panels which are set up in a “brickwork” fashion
which in turn gives the floor its strength without the need for tools and/or screws. Panels have “lugs” attached
on three sides (the side with three lugs are known as the “
END LUGS
”) which interlock with the adjacent
panels and one side without lugs. Along the other two sides are five
LUGS
which interlock with panels used in
the rows above and below. The top row consists of
FULL
panels and then every even row (row 2, 4, 6 etc.)
starting and ending with
HALF
panels. The
first
panel of each row is laid with the
“END LUGS”
pointing left and
all following panels with the
“END LUGS”
pointing right. Surrounding the panels are then aluminium edging
strips also supplied in
FULL
and
HALF
lengths as well as the
CORNER
edges.
It helps to plan the dance area before laying panels to ensure you have the floor centred with the room itself
or other furniture such as a stage unit.
Using the attached floor plan as a guide for your size of floor lay the floor as follows:
1.
ROW 1: The first
FULL
panel is laid at the top left hand corner of the floor with the three “
END LUGS”
pointing to the
left
and then the second
FULL
panel is laid alongside the first with the
“END LUGS”
pointing to the
right
. The first two panels just sit next to each other. The third and the rest of the top
row
FULL
panels can now be laid with the
“END LUGS”
pointing to the
right
with the bare side of the
panel sitting on top of the previous panels
“END LUGS”
.
! Ensure that the panels are flush along the top row.
2.
To help keep the top row in place, now fit the edging pieces across the top row starting from the left
hand side with a
HALF
edge and then a
FULL
edge which will span the joint of the first two
FULL
panels. Continue fitting the
FULL
edging pieces with a
HALF
edge being used at the end of the row to
fit flush with the right hand side.
! Fit the edging by pushing the lugs under the panel rim at an angle and lowering the edge into place.
DO NOT FORCE but adjust.
