Rubber event flooring for stages, exhibitions and temporary venues
Event flooring is bought on a different logic from gym flooring: it has to go down fast, come up clean and survive being laid again the following week. The purchase is judged on cost per use rather than on cost per square metre, which is why recoverable interlocking rubber tiles have largely replaced disposable coverings for stages, trade fairs, Christmas markets and corporate events. Light In Fitness supplies event professionals, rental companies and venue operators from stock in Tours, France.
What a temporary floor has to do
A permanent sports floor is optimised for one activity in one room. A temporary floor faces the opposite problem: an unknown substrate, a fixed installation window, mixed traffic that includes pallet trucks and flight cases, and a strip out slot measured in hours. Four properties matter more than anything else.
It must protect the existing surface, because the venue deposit depends on it. It must go down and come up without adhesive, so the crew is not waiting on cure times. It must stay non slip when wet, since doors open and rain comes in. And it must stack and transport without damage, because a tile that cannot be palletised is a tile you only use once.
Applications and what each one demands
| Application | Main requirement | Typical specification |
|---|---|---|
| Stages and podiums | Vibration damping under audio systems, structural point loads | 20 mm high density tile |
| Markets and fairs | Non slip when wet, thermal comfort in winter, fast turnaround | 20 mm tile, loose laid |
| Trade shows and exhibitions | Protection of the venue floor, premium circulation routes | Wood effect tile on stands and aisles |
| Build and rigging areas | Resistance to dropped tools, anti fatigue for standing crews | 20 mm tile as a temporary workshop floor |
| Corporate events | Colour coded zoning, presentable reception areas | Coloured tiles, wood effect at entrances |
| Competitions and awards | Clean sports grade surface for lanes and warm up | 20 mm tile, artificial turf where traction is needed |
| Outdoor installations | All weather behaviour, drainage, appearance | 25 mm turf and rubber composite tile |
The product selection and current prices
All prices below are net and exclude VAT. The 100 by 100 cm format means one tile equals one square metre, which makes quantity take offs and reordering straightforward for a rental fleet.
| Product | Format | Price excl. VAT | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| High density tile, 20 mm | 100 by 100 cm | 30 euros per tile | The workhorse: stages, markets, build areas |
| Wood effect tile, 20 mm | Light or dark oak finish | 49 euros per tile | VIP areas, reception, exhibition stands |
| Rubber roll | Continuous, cut to length | Volume price per square metre | Large open areas with no joints, from 100 m² |
| Turf and rubber tile, 25 mm | 100 by 100 cm | 49 euros per tile | Outdoor use, natural look, all seasons |
The 20 mm interlocking tile is laid and lifted in under five minutes per run by a two person crew, and is designed to be reused dozens of times. That is the number that decides the economics: a floor bought once and deployed twenty times costs a fraction of a covering consumed at each event.
Buying a floor for a rental fleet
Rental companies and production houses buy differently from end clients. The purchase is a fleet, not a project, so three things drive the decision: unit price at volume, replacement availability of a single reference over several years, and the ability to reorder identical tiles when a batch is damaged. We hold stock on the core references and apply volume pricing on recurring and large orders, which is what keeps a fleet consistent as it grows.
Practical fleet advice: standardise on one thickness across the fleet so tiles from different orders can be mixed on the same job, keep 5 percent spare on the shelf for damage, and store on pallets rather than stacked loose so edges stay square.
Why 20 mm is the reference thickness
Below 20 mm the tile flexes over an uneven substrate and telegraphs defects. Above it, the mass per tile starts to slow the crew and the step height at the perimeter becomes a trip hazard that needs ramp edges. At 20 mm and high density you get floor protection, vibration damping under speaker stacks and lighting towers, and a tile a single person can still handle repeatedly across a shift. Thicker specifications belong to permanent sports installations, where the load case is a dropped barbell rather than a flight case.
Setting out and lead times
Send a plan of the area and we calculate the exact tile count, the cutting plan at the perimeter and the recommended thickness, so the crew arrives with the right pallet rather than an approximation. Quotations are returned within 24 working hours and stock references are dispatched within 48 hours, which is compatible with the short lead times the events industry works to. Delivery covers France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg, with export priced per project.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to lay and lift a temporary rubber floor?
Interlocking 20 mm tiles are laid loose with no adhesive, so a run goes down in minutes and comes up just as fast at strip out. No cure time is involved, which means the floor can be the last thing installed before doors open and the first thing removed afterwards.
Can the same tiles be reused across several events?
Yes, that is what they are designed for. The tiles are reusable dozens of times provided they are stored flat on pallets and cleaned before storage. Reuse is what makes the cost per event low compared with a consumable covering.
Are the tiles suitable for pallet trucks and trolleys?
Yes. The high density rubber tile is specified for intensive traffic and is used as a temporary workshop floor by build crews, including under wheeled loads. On long runs with heavy trolley traffic, bond or tape the perimeter to stop the field from creeping.
What about outdoor events in poor weather?
The rubber surface remains non slip when wet, and the 25 mm turf and rubber composite tile is the option for outdoor installations where appearance matters as much as grip. Both handle temperature swings without becoming brittle.
Do you offer volume pricing?
Yes. Volume pricing applies to large and recurring orders, which is the normal pattern for rental companies building or renewing a fleet. Send the annual volume rather than a single event and we will price accordingly.
