  • All-terrain: Works on grass, gravel, sand, and uneven surfaces

Key Market Segments

Trade shows: Exhibitors use branded floor tiles to define their booth space and create foot traffic flow. Outdoor weddings: Dance floors and aisle runners on grass without permanent ground damage. Corporate events: Branded walkways and stage surrounds at product launches and conferences.

Opportunity for Rental Companies

Event rental companies adding modular flooring to their inventory report 40-60% margins and high repeat booking rates. The initial tile investment pays for itself within 3-5 rental cycles.
