New Black Marley floor in Arizona Ballet Theatre's Studio II, In Tucson, Arizona.

This was a brand new installation. It takes time for the flooring to lay flat...;))

 

When I was a kid after The War (WW II), first came cement floor tiles that may have contained asbestos. Then came rubber floor tiles that were flexible and much easier to install and maintain. Rubber tiles were a huge improvement over the previous floor tiles!!

 

Some time later, the flexible vinyl flooring sheets you see here became available. that changed the concept of kitchen floors...;))

 

I have forgotten why dance studio flooring is called Marley. I did research it once, but my memory... Lol

 

Here it is:

"Dance performance surfaces made of sheet vinyl are also called dance floors and marley floors. They are called marley type floors from a very popular reversible vinyl flooring manufactured for years until about 1978 by Marley Floors Ltd"
