The Importance of Flooring in Exhibition Design
First Impressions Matter
Flooring is often underestimated in exhibition planning, yet it plays a critical role in the overall look, feel, and functionality of a booth or event space. A high-quality floor sets the tone for professionalism, comfort, and engagement.
