Carpet Runner Rentals
The floor of an arrival. A strip of event carpet is what tells a guest where the walk begins, which way it goes and where somebody is waiting for them at the end of it.
Five colours
Pick the colour first — the rest of the order follows it.
Each colour has a page because a request has to name one. Width, fixing and the way lengths work are shared across all five, so the only thing that genuinely differs between these pages is where the colour belongs and what it does to the room it is laid in.
Red Carpet Runner
The arrival carpet. Premieres, awards, galas and every ribbon cut anybody photographs.
White Carpet Runner
Ceremony aisles and pale rooms, where a dark strip would cut the floor in half.
Black Carpet Runner
Streets, launches and dark floors. It marks the route without becoming the subject of the photographs.
Green Carpet Runner
For work matched to a brand rather than to a room — the colour you reach for when a logo has already decided the palette.
Navy Carpet Runner
Corporate arrivals with the formality of red and none of its volume.
Working it out
Three things to settle before the colour matters.
Four feet or six
Six where guests walk two abreast, where a press wall waits at the end or where photographers work the sides and need people off the edge of frame. Four where the runner is marking a route people take in single file. Both widths exist in every colour.
The walk, not the room
Measure the line a guest actually covers — kerb to door, door to the room, the length of the aisle — including the turn out of a doorway. We hold many ready-cut lengths and one of them usually covers a walk; where the figure has to be exact we cut to it for an extra charge.
What it sits on
Professional double-sided tape holds a runner flat indoors and outdoors, then comes up again without leaving a mark on the surface beneath. Send us the surface with the dates — ballroom parquet, concrete, asphalt — because that is what the tape is chosen for.
