For exhibition organisers, venue operators and production companies
A moving exhibition floor is a safety risk. However, tape that adheres too strongly damages the floor during dismantling and results in costly damage claims. We help you find the balance – tape that holds throughout the exhibition period and is removed without leaving a trace.
Choosing double-sided tape for exhibition floors comes down to three factors: the type of surface, the exposure time, and the traffic load. A carpet on polished concrete requires a completely different choice than a vinyl runner on a wooden template – and the wrong tape costs time, money, and sometimes deductions for damage.
tesa 4939is the most common choice for exhibition floors with normal load. It provides sufficient adhesive strength for carpets and textile runners and can be removed without leaving marks on most common exhibition hall floors. Cost-effective in volume and easy to work with – the standard choice for installation teams that set up many booths per year.
tesa 4964is the choice when it comes to: podiums with heavier exhibits, permanent fixation throughout the exhibition week, or surfaces where standard options are not sufficient. The tape's construction provides exceptionally high shear strength and is intended for smooth, non-porous surfaces. Used by professionals when failure is not an option.
Orafol 1450is formulated for more sensitive surfaces – lacquered wooden floors, linoleum, and PVC coverings that cannot tolerate more aggressive adhesive systems. It can be removed without damage after normal installation time and is the first choice when the exhibition hall agreement states that floor damage is your organization's responsibility. Choose Orafol 1450when you are unsure about the surface's durability.
Carpet on concrete: tesa 4939is the standard choice – sufficient adhesion and clean removability.
Vinyl and PVC floors: Orafol 1450with its milder adhesive system protects the surface and removes without residue.
Lacquered wooden floors: Here, too, Orafol 1450is the right choice – formulated for sensitive lacquered surfaces without risk of damage.
Podium or heavy load: tesa 4964– the strongest option for demanding fixations on smooth surfaces.
Can double-sided tape damage a concrete floor?Seldom, but it depends on the adhesive system and exposure time. tesa 4939is formulated for temporary use and can be removed without problems on most concrete floors. If in doubt – always test on an inconspicuous area.
How long can the tape stay on?
tesa 4939is designed for 3–7 days. tesa 4964can withstand longer exposure but may be more difficult to remove from porous surfaces. Orafol 1450is recommended for a maximum of 7 days on sensitive surfaces.
Which width should I choose?Wider tape provides a larger contact area and higher strength per linear meter. For edge taping, narrower formats are sufficient. Contact us if you are unsure – we will help you calculate the correct width for your specific load.
