Three flooring options for your event
Discover our solutions tailored to every type of event, from technical versatility to natural aesthetics.
Rental unit (needs flooring)
Standard reception flooring, designed to be covered with a final finish: 100% polypropylene needle-punched carpet with flame retardant added during production, linoleum, synthetic turf, or a custom print. This is our most versatile solution, used for trade shows, beaches, estates, corporate events under temporary structures, and zero-level upgrades on challenging sites between Monaco and Saint-Tropez.
Terracotta Floor
Reception floor with an exposed terracotta finish, ideal for weddings and galas seeking a warm aesthetic without the need for additional flooring. Installed at Château Saint-Martin in Vence for high-end weddings: a 15 x 30 m structure on a foundation slab with 50 water outlets and 50 Trackway panels, complemented by 40 pear-wood melamine partitions to create a walkway.
Natural-Look Flooring
Exposed wood flooring with a natural finish, chosen for bohemian, lounge, or contemporary events. Installed during the summer season on Miramar Beach in Cannes under the Orangerie structure: flooring mounted on steel pedestals, extended by a 250 m² terrace outside the structure, featuring glass frames and double glass doors.
Floor under a tent or floor alone
We install complete flooring systems under tents (paired with our Double-Slope, Arched, Black, or Orangery structures) or standalone flooring for outdoor dance floors. Our floors are always installed on steel bases, with ballast placed beneath the floor when the ground conditions require it. This technique ensures a level surface even on uneven or sloped ground, while also making disassembly easier.
Covering for swimming pools, ponds, tennis courts, and delicate surfaces
Beyond standard installation, our technical expertise allows us to cover complex or fragile surfaces: covering a 10 x 20 m pool with an arched structure featuring a glass roof, custom-cut wooden flooring, and the installation of beams to support stair access (Jardin de la Madone charity event in Menton); enclosure of a tennis court at Villa La Pauza in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (15 x 30 m structure, foundation slab, 50 water-filled pedestals, 50 Trackway panels, walkway partitions).
This specialty also covers archaeological sites, protected gardens, and sloped terraces, where our teams install protective measures before adding ballast to preserve the existing structures.

Frequently asked questions
Find all the technical answers regarding the installation, leveling, and finishing of our event flooring.
Can you install flooring on an uneven or sloped surface?
Yes. Our floors are always installed on steel footings with appropriate shims, which allows for a perfectly level surface even on sloped or uneven terrain. For sensitive sites (gardens, archaeological sites), we install protective measures before adding ballast. A preliminary site survey confirms the technique best suited to your site.
How do you cover a pond or swimming pool for an event?
We install an arched structure over the pool, lay load-bearing beams, and then install a wooden floor cut to fit the shape. Access stairs and perimeter cladding complete the installation. This technique was used for the charity event at the Jardin de la Madone in Menton under a 10 x 20 m structure.
What kind of flooring should you choose for a dance floor?
For dance floors, Terracotta flooring is very popular for its warm appearance, which requires no additional covering. This natural-looking flooring adds a bohemian or contemporary touch. Rental flooring covered with a specific surface (linoleum or laminate flooring) is still recommended for professional dancers and choreographed performances.
What other flooring options do you offer?
100% polypropylene needle-punched carpet with integral flame retardancy, linoleum, synthetic turf for outdoor areas, and custom digital printing for branded events. All of our flooring materials comply with current fire safety standards for temporary public-access facilities.
How long does it take to install 200 m² of event flooring?
Allow about half a day for 200 m² of flooring on level ground, and a full day if the ground is sloped or if the leveling is complex. A preliminary site survey will determine the final schedule. Our teams can work at night or on weekends if your schedule requires it.
