Stadium temporary flooring is often necessary to protect stadium surfaces and turf from anything and everything from pedestrian traffic, staging, and concert or event equipment to heavy equipment like forklifts, cranes, and other vehicles. Having an adequate temporary stadium flooring system in place assures the arena surface will be protected and the event participants will have a safe and good time.

There are certain things to consider when selecting stadium temporary flooring. You will want to find a product that is relatively easy to assemble and transport. You will want to be sure the flooring you select is suitable for the subfloor - whether it is turf, asphalt, gravel, concrete, dirt, or wood. You will want to make sure it’s suitable for heavy foot traffic and weight of other items needed for the event, and you will likely want it to combine style with safety and comfort.

Greatmats offers the best temporary stadium flooring solutions available - from various pedestrian mats to protective tiles and runners. Regardless of the bash, gathering, or shindig planned, if you must cover and protect a coliseum floor with a temporary, removable flooring, Greatmats has what you need.
