Installation of a product is often of great concern.  Will it be as easy as the company says?  Will the installation look professional?  Can the product be moved daily in a multi-use facility and still be durable?  The answer to all these questions concerning the Elite Cheer floor is a resounding YES!

The following instructions will explain the simple portability and set up of our product.  If you have any questions, please call and we'll explain further.

The Elite Cheer Floor is manufactured in 6' wide rolls and your choice of roll lengths.  A standard roll measures 6' x 42', and a standard competition floor needs 7 rolls.  The mat must always be rolled up with the carpet on the outside.  One of our competitors is selling a product with cuts through the back of the foam so the mats can be rolled up with the carpet on the inside. We had considered doing this a few years ago, but decided (in our opinion) the risk involved in not knowing long-term durability was too great. This is not to say their product is not going to be durable, only that making many cuts in the foam logically didn’t make sense to us. It’s not very much extra work to flip the rolls over and roll them up with the carpet on the outside and know the rolls will last for many years. Rolling the flooring with the carpet on the inside will damage the rolls and cause wrinkles on the surface of the carpet.  Look at the first picture to the right and see how a roll looks with the carpet on the outside.  This is how each mat will appear when properly rolled up.

Steps to Set Up the Floor

1. To set up your floor, simply move the rolls out to the area you will be using.

2. Next unroll each roll.  As you can see in the second picture to the right, the foam side will be facing up when you unroll it.

3. Flip the unrolled mats over so the carpet side is up. 

4. Slide the rolls together so there is no space between the rolls.

5. Using the blue hook velcro provided with you order, seam the rolls together.  The velcro adheres right to the carpet surface (see third picture to right).  One person can hold the velcro roll and a second person can smooth the velcro down over the seam.

6. Continue attaching each roll until floor is complete.

Steps to Take Rolls Apart

1. Pull hook velcro loose from seams.  Roll up velcro to use the next time you set up the floor.

2. Flip the mats over so the foam surface is facing up.

3. Roll up each mat and attach with the short piece of velcro (that comes with the rolls).  This will keep the mat from coming unrolled.

4. Transport to your storage room.  (Always lift with your legs while keeping you back in a vertical position.)
