Anyone know where to purchase car show carpet 20x20 or so, the industrial looking stuff with the edge trimmed in rubber. The show I'm going to wants carpet down but does not supply or rent it and I've been unable to find it anywhere on the intranet. Thanks

My brothers in the trade show industry and usually has flooring for anyhing from 20x20 to 40x100. His shop is in Kent and I'm actually headed that way this afternoon. Want me to see what he has?

Blood red carpet or some grey coin vinyl would look pretty good.

Black 20x20 you can borrow, raw edges. They usually tape the edges and the isles are typically carpeted as well.

Let me know.

Lenie - Carpet Tile is the easiest system to handle and install and will lay flat without wrinkling issues. You should be able to apply a tape boarder with Gaffers Tape. If you haven't used Gaffers tape before it will spoil for numerous applications you would have used traditional duct tape. I use it more than duct tape around the shop.

It also comes in a wide range of colors.

It's required by most convention facilities because of it's release characteristics - it doesn't remove wax or stain applied concrete sealer/wax finishes.

PM answered, hope it works out for you.

Sieg, shocked you don't have some rems in the garage that Lenie could piece together:headscratch:

LOL!

I'm really not missing the flooring biz.........until I need or have to replace some!

Hopefully I can make it up to the show but it's a day by day scheduling issue right now. :thumbsup:
