Portable & Temporary Flooring

Temporary Flooring Options

Temporary flooring is a versatile product that protects subfloors or provides great-looking floors for an event. You receive great value for renters because you can take these floors with you when you move to a new spot. Portable flooring works for trade shows, concerts, presentations, events, outdoor venues, and more. Temporary flooring products can have a high-quality, permanent feeling when you rely on Greatmats!
