How to Choose the Right Event Floor Mat

Choosing the right event floor mats depends on the venue, ground conditions and the type of outdoor event. Consider the following:

Outdoor Ground Protection: Heavy-duty PVC ground protection tiles are ideal for vehicle routes, temporary roadways, marquee areas and walkways across grass.
Entrance and Gate Areas: Rubber grass mats provide grip, drainage and stability on uneven or muddy ground where foot traffic is concentrated.
High-Traffic Walkways: Interlocking or modular mats help create defined pedestrian routes across soft or worn ground.
Staff Work Areas: Anti-fatigue mats improve comfort for staff, stewards and security teams working long shifts outdoors.
