Sustainability is no longer a trend, but a necessary choice—especially in the events sector, where materials are often used intensively and temporarily.
At Cover Flooring, we are taking a conscious step forward. Our Expostyle and Expoline collections are transitioning to thermofusion event carpet: an innovative production technique that reduces environmental impact without compromising on quality or appearance.
But what exactly is thermofusion? And why is it such an important improvement for recyclable event carpet?
What is thermofusion in event carpet?
Traditional event carpet is finished with latex, a liquid, rubber-like substance that holds the carpet fibers in place. However, this process consumes a lot of water and energy, and adds an extra material to the carpet.
With thermofusion, it works differently. Instead of latex, the carpet fibers are bonded together using heat. Through controlled heating, the materials fuse with each other. Once cooled, a strong, stable carpet is formed—without water or chemical binders.
In short: no latex, less water, no extra material—and still a strong, reliable carpet.
Why this is important for the events sector
Event carpets are often used for trade shows, conferences, and temporary installations. For these types of applications, it is crucial to choose materials that are responsibly produced and can be highly recycled, without requiring complex separation of materials.
With thermofusion, we are taking a concrete step to reduce the ecological footprint of temporary flooring solutions—without compromising on quality or appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions About Thermofusion Event Carpet
Is thermofusion as strong as latex?
Yes. Thermofusion creates a stable and durable carpet suitable for intensive use at events and trade shows.
Does thermofusion change the look or feel of the carpet?
No. Switching to thermofusion does not alter what customers expect: the same appearance, the same walkability, and the same reliability. The difference lies beneath the surface—and in its environmental impact.
Is thermofusion better for recycling?
Absolutely. By using thermofusion, our event carpets are made from a single type of material, making sorting and recycling after use simpler and more efficient.
Is thermofusion suitable for temporary and intensive use?
Yes. Thermofusion event carpet is designed for heavy use during trade shows, conferences, and events, combining durability with reliability.
