What is interlocking floor carpet made from?

Interlocking floor carpet is made from high-quality foam fabric. The foam keeps each tile lightweight while giving the surface a soft, durable finish that stands up to foot traffic at busy events.

Each tile measures 60.96cm by 60.96cm and is about 1.02cm (10mm) thick. That standard size makes it straightforward to work out how many tiles a booth needs, and it keeps the floor level from one tile to the next.

Because each tile is the same size, you can lay the floor in one direction or turn tiles to create a pattern. Check the layout on the floor plan before you open the box, so you know where full tiles and cut tiles will fall.

Because the tiles are foam rather than a dense backing, they cushion underfoot for people standing on a stand for hours. That comfort matters at trade shows, where exhibitors and visitors spend long days on their feet.

How many tiles do I need for my stand?

Measure the floor area of your booth first, in metres, and divide the length and width by 0.61 to find how many tiles run along each edge. Multiply the two numbers to get the total for a full floor.

Order a few spare tiles for any edges that need cutting to fit around a pillar, a power point or a corner. Keeping spares means a damaged tile can be replaced without changing the whole floor.

If your stand has a raised platform, a counter or a sloping entry, measure those areas separately, because they may need extra tiles or a different floor covering.

Work from the floor plan your organiser provided, not from memory of the booth size. A small measurement error across a large floor adds up quickly, so measure twice and check the total against the plan before you order.

Should I choose interlocking tiles or custom velvet carpet?

Interlocking tiles suit a stand that will be packed up and reused. Each tile lifts out on its own, so you can repair or replace a single piece without disturbing the rest of the floor.

Custom velvet carpet is cut to your stand size, which gives an unbroken floor with no grid showing. It is the better choice when you want a seamless look and the stand is set up in one place.

Many exhibitors use both: tiles across the main floor, and custom velvet carpet on a feature area or stage. The two finishes work together, so the stand reads as one design.

Think about the build as well as the look. A tile floor can be laid by a small crew in a short time, while a custom carpet needs the stand size confirmed before it is cut, so plan the order around your build date.

Can interlocking tiles level a rough hall floor?

Yes. The tiles are built to level a rough hall floor and hide the cable runs under the stand. That makes a visible difference when the venue floor is worn, patchy or uneven.

Because the tiles sit flat once they are locked together, they give a stable surface for people walking and standing on the stand. Check the venue floor for large gaps or raised joins before you lay the tiles, and clear any loose debris first.

Hiding cables under the floor keeps the walkways safe and tidy. Plan the cable route before the tiles go down, so the power and data leads come out where they are needed.

Levelling matters for more than appearance. A flat floor makes it safer to move display cases and furniture across the stand, and it stops the walls and counters from rocking on an uneven base.

Do I need tools or adhesive to install the floor?

No. Interlocking floor carpet needs no tools or adhesives. The jigsaw edges snap together quickly and hold securely without any extra materials, so the floor can be laid by a small crew in a short time.

Lay the tiles from one corner, working outward, and press each edge firmly until it locks. Check the joins as you go, so the floor stays flat across the whole booth.

Because nothing is glued down, the tiles can be lifted at the end of the event. Store them flat and dry between shows, so the edges stay in good shape for the next build. Keeping the tiles in their original order makes the next install quicker, because the pattern and colour mix are already known.

Because the install needs no adhesive, there is no drying time to wait for and no mess to clean from the venue floor. The crew can move straight on to the walls, lighting and graphics once the floor is down.

How do I choose the right colour for my booth?

The tiles come in four colours: white, yellow, brown and grey. A single colour gives a clean, neutral base that lets the graphics stand out, while a mix of colours can match an event theme or a brand identity.

Choose a colour that contrasts with your banners and displays. A dark floor makes light graphics look brighter, and a light floor suits darker stand furniture.

If you are using more than one colour, lay out the design on a sheet of paper first. Plan the pattern before you open the tiles, so the finished floor matches the design you approved. Count the tiles for each colour separately at the planning stage, so you do not run short of one colour halfway through the build.

Consider the colour of the venue carpet and the hall lighting as well. A tile colour that looks right in a showroom can look different under the lights of a large exhibition hall, so ask for a sample before you commit to a large order.
