1. Do I need to order carpet?

Each show is different. The type of flooring will be noted on the cover page of the exhibitor packet.

2. What size carpet should I order for my booth?

The carpet should match the size of your booth. Traditionally, carpet is cut in 9' rolls, so carpet sizes come in 9'x10', 9'x20', etc. increments. This carpet will accommodate a 10'x10' booth fine. If you feel that you want carpet to cover your entire booth space, American Exposition Services provides special carpet sizes that are individually cut to match the size you request.

3. What is the difference between Standard Carpet and Deluxe Carpet?

Standard Carpet has a tighter fit, which is less expensive and only comes in standard colors. Deluxe Carpet has a thicker pile and is special ordered from a more broad choice of colors and is more costly.

4. If I have an Island booth, can I order the standard carpet in 9' cuts?

Yes, there will be a gap on the sides however where the aisle carpet will not meet up with the booth carpet. If this bothers you, you should order area carpet.

5. Do I have to order labor to install the carpet I order?

Labor is included in the rental price of the carpet.

6. Can I bring my own carpet?

Yes, you may bring your own carpet. Please check to ensure that labor is not required for the installation. Different cities have different rules and this will be noted in the exhibitor packet.

7. What is visqueen and do I need it?

Visqueen is a plastic covering for the carpet to protect it from tire marks or general abuse during set up. It is not required.
