Things You'll Need:
- 3/4-inch thick sheets of medium density fiberboard (MDF) 2-inch-wide strips of 3/4-inch-thick MDF 1-inch flat top screws Electric drill or screwdriver with pre-drilling bit
-
Step 1
Ensure the surface to receive your dance floor is flat. You can either build on a pre-existing floor or in a recessed well so that your new dance floor lays flush to the rest of the flooring.
-
Step 2
Position the sheets of MDF in what will be their final location and trim them, if necessary, to the desired dance floor size. Mark where the edges of the sheets come together on the floor with tape.
-
Step 3
Remove the MDF sheets and lay the 2-inch strips of MDF out so that they run along the edge-joinings for the MDF sheets you marked. Lay the MDF sheets on top of the strips and make sure the strips are lined up directly underneath the joins.
-
Step 4
Pre-drill holes, about 1 foot apart, through the MDF sheets and strips. Make sure screws are placed near the corners of the MDF sheets also.
-
Step 5
Screw the MDF sheets in place, one sheet at a time. Once you reach the edge of the floor, line the 2-inch MDF strips up flush underneath the edge of the MDF sheet.
