Eco-Friendly, Easy Installation Flooring for Exhibitions

Project Overview

The objective of this project was to provide exhibition organisers with an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable flooring solutions. The goal was to offer a product that exhibitors could easily install and remove themselves, without requiring professional installation, while ensuring a high-quality, professional look that could be used across multiple events. Heckmondwike supplied Wellington Velour and Broadrib carpet tiles, paired with tab-it stickers, which allowed for easy installation and removal without glue or complicated machinery, offering a seamless, flexible, and eco-friendly flooring.

Challenge

Exhibition stands demand flooring solutions that are visually appealing and practical. Exhibitors often require flexible, cost-effective options for multiple events that are quick and easy to set up. The challenge was to find a flooring solution that could be installed, removed, and reused with minimal effort, without sacrificing the aesthetic quality of the exhibition space.

Solution

Heckmondwike provided the exhibition organisers with Wellington Velour in Dove Grey and Broadrib in Violet carpet tiles, paired with tab-it stickers. These stickers simplified the installation process by allowing the tiles to be quickly adhered to the floor without the need for glue or complex tools. Traditional carpet installations often require adhesives, which can be difficult to remove and leave residues. With tab-it stickers, there’s no leftover glue, resulting in less waste and fewer harmful chemicals lingering in the environment. This method not only avoids these issues but also makes the flooring easier to recycle, as traditional glued carpets are often more challenging to process due to the mix of materials and adhesives.

Moreover, the use of tab-it stickers ensured that the tiles could be easily removed and reused for future exhibitions, offering a sustainable and cost-effective flooring solution. Reusing the tiles reduced the need for new materials and helped eliminate waste generated by single-use carpets. The neutral tones of Wellington Velour in Dove Grey and the bold sophistication of Broadrib in Violet added a modern touch to the exhibition stands while remaining versatile enough to complement various booth designs.

Results

The use of tab-it stickers for installation resulted in several key benefits:

• Time-Saving Installation: Exhibitors could easily install the carpet tiles themselves, without the need for specialized contractors. The tab-it stickers enabled the entire installation to be completed in less than half the time of traditional carpet rolls. These stickers securely adhered the tiles to the floor, requiring minimal tools and expertise, and eliminated the need for glue or complicated machinery.

• Reusable Solution: The carpet tiles could be easily removed after the event and stored for reuse in future exhibitions. This reusability helped reduce costs by eliminating the need for expensive replacements, while also minimising waste.

• Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: The Wellington Velour in Dove Grey and Broadrib in Violet tiles provided a clean, professional look that enhanced the overall atmosphere of the exhibition. Their versatility made them a perfect choice for various booth designs, offering exhibitors a polished and adaptable solution.

• Sustainability: By offering a reusable carpet option, Heckmondwike helped the exhibition organisers make a more sustainable choice, reducing the need for single-use flooring materials typically discarded after each event.

Project Summary

This project aimed to deliver an efficient, reusable, and sustainable flooring solution for exhibition organisers. By providing Wellington Velour and Broadrib carpet tiles paired with tab-it stickers, exhibitors were able to install and remove the tiles themselves with ease. The solution minimised setup time, eliminated the need for glue, and allowed for the tiles to be reused at future events, all while maintaining a high-quality and professional appearance. The result was a cost-effective, sustainable, and user-friendly flooring solution that met the needs of exhibitors while supporting an eco-friendlier approach.
