You may notice the event’s lights, decor, and seating arrangements upfront, but there’s a lot that goes on behind it such as temporary flooring.

The heavy-duty equipment and stage we place atop the floor can significantly affect the venue’s integrity. This is a prime area of concern, especially for events where maintaining grass health is essential for the outlook and the venue’s viability.

Whether you’re hosting a large-scale concert, city festival, or sports event, temporary flooring is your go-to for ensuring the safety and health of the grass.

Well-kept grass is always preferred for its natural ambience and comfortable footing. But maintaining grass health is no easy feat. You must consider soil stabilisation, water filtration, and carbon sequestration. 

At No Fuss Event Hire, you can rest assured about the event’s environmental impact. We have top-of-the-line temporary flooring solutions for all your event needs.

The Need for Temporary Flooring 

Weddings, sports, concerts, and, in fact, all major events heavily rely on grass flooring for its natural, aesthetic appeal. When we host an event and thousands of people walk around the grass, or if heavy equipment or stage stuff is dragged on it, damage to the grass is inevitable.

This damage is not limited to unsightly patches only; it can also cause soil compaction, root damage, and other major issues. All of these can affect the health of the grass and even make the venue unsuitable for holding future events.

That’s where the need for strong and effective temporary flooring solutions arises. The temporary flooring can be placed atop the grass and keep it safe from heavy footfall and loads.

Most of these floorings are also permeable and, hence, do not cause damage to the roots and soil.

High Foot Traffic and Heavy Equipment

High foot traffic compacts the soil and affects the natural growth of grass. Then, dragging long, heavy equipment like the stage, sound system, or chairs can cause irreversible damage to the grass.

Preserving the grass is very important to keeping the venue in good condition for future use.

That’s why we at No Fuss Event Hire offer temporary flooring solutions. These provide stable ground for even weight distribution throughout the floor plan. Our temporary floors are so robust that they can bear the weight of thousands of attendees and vehicles without sinking in.

Thus, the grassroots, soil and ground remain undamaged. The flooring also enables water and air permeability and minimises soil compaction underneath the flooring.

Types of Temporary Flooring Solutions

The temporary flooring solutions are designed using different materials. Whether it’s a promotional celebration or a concert, you’ll find a design that fits your needs. There are modular panels and rollout mats, each with benefits like ease of installation, longevity, and the ability to bear loads. 

At No Fuss Event Hire, we have I-Trac and Supa-Trac as the two leading temporary flooring options to protect the grass. Let’s take a look at the features and benefits of both here.

I-Trac Flooring

I-Trac flooring consists of interlocking panels made from high-density polyethylene. Although lightweight, these panels are lasting and strong and can support heavy weights without sinking into the ground.

I-Trac flooring has a high load-bearing capacity, making it the perfect choice for high loads, including cars, stages, and large crowds. Each panel weighs around 15.6 kg and can support weights up to 200,000 kg/sqm.

These are very easy to install and quite lasting. Assembling and dismounting I-Trac flooring is a breeze with minimal labour costs. They allow air and water permeability and prevent soil compaction, so all essential nutrients and moisture aren’t blocked from reaching the grassroots.

I-Trac flooring panels are also very durable against the weather and the effects of time, making them versatile and suited for different environments and uses.

Supa-Trac Flooring

Supa-Trac flooring has a light interlocking design that sits stably over grass or soft ground. It is best for large crowds and vehicles and can work on different terrains. 

Whether you are looking at high pedestrian traffic, car parking, or even a helipad, the Supa-Trac is your best bet. At No Fuss Event Hire, we ensure the edging ramps eliminate any tripping hazards and allow for accessible solutions.

This type of flooring is also very easy and quick to install and remove. It has minimal environmental impact, protects the ground from damage, and facilitates post-event recovery.

Supa-Trac is specifically designed to maintain turf integrity and protect the ground by allowing light, air and water to travel through the surface. Thus, it keeps the grass alive and protected.

Best Practices for Using Temporary Flooring at Events

Let’s discuss some tips for making the most of the event while ensuring maximum grass protection with temporary flooring solutions.

– No Fuss Event Hire team assesses the condition of the soil and grass to enhance grass resilience. 

– We consult and coordinate with environmental experts to minimise ecological impact.

– We consider subsurface conditions when installing both I-Trac and Supa-Trac flooring. They should be securely placed, and the panel alignment must follow all safety protocols.

– We conduct regular checks to view grass health and floor integrity.

– Our customised plan adjusts the floor layout to the event requirements and dynamics to minimise damage to the soil or grass.

– After the event, our experts remove the flooring meticulously to avoid any residual damage to the grass.

– Lastly, grass recovery procedures like overseeding and aeration are performed to ensure venue longevity and minimise the ecological footprint of the events.

Choosing the Right Flooring Solution for Your Event

What is the right flooring solution for you? At No Fuss Event Hire, we meet with our customers to discuss event details, such as the expected audience, duration, and size.

The type of activities to be conducted will also be considered. 

For example, if it’s a sports event, the crowds will be enthusiastic. So you need more stability and, of course, durability. For a military event, further considerations like helicopter landings may be discussed.

Then, we will devise the best solution for you and determine whether I-Trac or Supa-Trac is the best solution.
