Floor planning
Short answer: with 50 × 50 cm Stand-On tiles you need four tiles per square metre. Multiply the length by the width of your booth in metres, then multiply by four. A 3 × 3 m booth is 9 m², so it needs 36 tiles. Add edges for the open sides and choose your cover plates, and your floor plan is ready to price.
Floor planning
Booth length (m) × booth width (m) × 4 = number of base tiles.
Because each tile measures exactly 50 × 50 cm, booth sizes in whole or half metres work out neatly. Is your booth size not a multiple of 50 cm, or do you work in feet? Send us your dimensions and we will work out the layout with you.
Floor planning
| Booth size | Area | Tiles |
|---|---|---|
| 3 × 2 m | 6 m² | 24 tiles |
| 3 × 3 m | 9 m² | 36 tiles |
| 4 × 3 m | 12 m² | 48 tiles |
| 6 × 3 m | 18 m² | 72 tiles |
| 5 × 5 m | 25 m² | 100 tiles, exactly one 25 m² container box |
| 10 × 5 m | 50 m² | 200 tiles, exactly one 50 m² container box |
Count the open sides of your booth: those are the sides that need an edge. An inline booth usually has one open side, a corner booth two, a peninsula three and an island booth four. Stand-On offers straight and sloping aluminium edges, a sloping LED edge, a carpet edge and an ABS sloping edge, and you can combine several edge types in one floor.
Choose the finish with the cover plates: a direct print, clear covers, carpet, vinyl or wooden panels. Where your stand has a lot of technology, such as a counter with screens, you can use AV tiles for extra cable space. Cables up to 10 mm cross-section fit directly into the channels of the standard base tiles.
Before you finalise the tile count, mark where counters, screens, lighting and power points will stand. The integrated channels in the base tiles take CEE cables 5 × 2.5 mm² and 5 × 6 mm², flat cable 5G6 H07RN-F and Wieland connectors, and water pipes up to 20 mm are possible with small drains. Knowing where the cables come up tells you where AV tiles make sense, so your tile list is complete from the start.
Each tile weighs 1.5 kg, so the 36 tiles for a 3 × 3 m booth weigh about 54 kg in total. Tiles stack compactly and travel in wheeled container boxes of 25 m² (100 tiles) or 50 m² (200 tiles), or on pallets.
The tiles connect by hand, without tools, and one person can lay the floor. In our video a complete 40 m² exhibition floor is assembled by hand in about 15 minutes. Actual build time depends on your layout and the size of your crew.
For a single show, renting is the flexible option: you get exactly the tiles your booth needs. If you exhibit regularly, buying gives you a stock that you rearrange for every booth layout, and the floor is reusable for many years. Either way, the tile count works the same.
