Laying of Harlequin LIBERTY™ permanent
Before laying down your permanent Harlequin LIBERTYTM sprung floor, thoroughly sweep your sub-floor to remove grit and dust. Panels should be handled and carried by two people. Be careful with the panel corners and edges to avoid damage during handling. The panels should firstly be set down on the grooved edge and then laid down flat.

1. Begin laying the panels with a right angle on the side of the room opposite the entrance to your dance studio, following the enclosed layout plan.
2. Lay the panels in brickwork fashion, completing each row before starting the next.
3. Cut the last panel of each row to the correct size, leaving a 1 cm expansion gap around the perimeter of the room. This gap will be filled with strips of black plastazote as supplied with your floor.
4. Fix the panels with the latch key supplied with your dance floor. Turn the latch key until you hear the click of the lock engaging.
Strengthening the floor around the perimeter of the room
In order to strengthen the floor around the perimeter of the room, we highly recommend using double-sided adhesive tape to stick battens, measuring about 20 × 5 cm, between the elastomer blocks around the outside edge of the panels.
For the battens, we advise you to keep the packing pieces that came with your Harlequin LIBERTY™ floor (3 pieces per panel), which are used to protect the elastomer blocks during transport.
Cutting along the wall or around a pillar
 
If you need to cut along the length of a wall or around a pillar, it is advisable to stick wooden battens with double-sided adhesive tape along the length of the wall or around any cutouts to prevent the floor compressing at the edge.
Wooded battens should only be fixed under the panels around the perimeter or under panels which have been cut along the side of a wall or around a pillar. All other panels must be laid without adding extra battens.
Laying conditions
The sub-floor where the Harlequin LIBERTY™ sprung floor is to be laid must be level to within 5 mm of 2.5 m.
The humidity level of the sub-floor on which the flooring will be laid must not exceed 2.5 %.
Harlequin does not accept responsibility for accidental damage to products or damage caused by storing products in unsuitable conditions (humidity, open air and unevenness of the sub-floor).
