How to Choose Exhibition Carpet: Key Considerations for Thickness, Backing, and Installation Order

Exhibition carpet thickness, seam treatment, and installation timing affect booth appearance and teardown efficiency.

展位上最不起眼但最容易被看出档次的,是地毯。同样一块展位的结构,铺得平整利落和铺得皱皱巴巴,观感差一个级别。而地毯这件事的功夫,大半在铺之前。

先说厚度。展览地毯常见的是薄款和稍厚的两种。薄款便宜、卷起来小、好运输,但它对地面平整度要求高——展馆地面有伸缩缝、有残留胶带、有轻微起伏,薄毯全都会把这些透出来,踩上去还能感觉到。厚款遮盖好,脚感也舒服,但要注意门限和结构件的高度关系:地毯铺厚了,原本刚好能关上的展柜门可能卡住,推拉门、抽屉、灯带槽的收口都要重新核一遍。

再说铺设时机,这是最容易搞错的顺序。很多人习惯先铺地毯再搭结构,觉得这样干净。但实际做法应当反过来:先搭主体结构、把重件就位,再铺地毯,最后才装画面和灯具。原因是搭结构阶段要拖拽构件、会有金属件摩擦和掉漆,地毯提前铺等于给它上刑。而且重物压过之后地毯会留下压痕,先铺后装的话这些压痕根本没法处理。

接缝要顺人流方向。两块毯的接缝如果横在主通道上,三天下来会被踩开、起翘,还有人会被绊。正确做法是让接缝落在家具或者展柜下方,或者至少与主要人流方向平行。接缝处用同色胶带满贴,不要只点几处。

收边是最见手艺的地方。墙根、柱脚、地台边缘这三处的收边,用压条还是用胶带,效果差别很大。临时胶带会在撤场时留下一圈胶印,展馆会按污染面积扣钱。规范做法是用窄压条收边,或者用可整片撕除的专用贴。

最后是撤场。地毯卷起来之前要把上面的杂物和胶带清掉,否则带回去的脏东西会污染下一次使用。如果计划复用,卷的时候接缝朝内、竖放,不要压在其他构件下面。

还有一个选择值得单独说:整幅铺还是分块铺。整幅铺接缝少、观感干净,但大毯在展馆门口进不去是常事,只能中途裁开,裁口反而更难看。分块铺接缝多,可只要把接缝全部规划在展柜和地台下方,观众根本看不见。我的习惯是先量展柜底面位置,把接缝排在点位上再去裁毯,而不是铺完再想怎么遮。

一块地毯的成本在展位预算里排不上号,但它是客户脚踩、镜头扫过面积最大的部位。这个钱要花在平整和收边上,不是花在厚度上。

Post-weld correction of sign steel frame deformation

Post-weld correction of sign steel frame deformation

When constructing storefront signage, the welding stage isn't just about strength—it's about preventing the steel frame from warping. In our Hechuan projects, we've captured 2 real-time photos (see album below) showing the final frame shape and component layout after welding. When assembling frames with flat tubes, every weld contributes to local stability.

Bubble-free film application for signage

Bubble-free application for signage face films

Bubbles in signage films are rarely due to the film itself—they're usually caused by trapped air. Before applying the film, clear the workstation: even a single speck of dust blown onto the adhesive surface creates a permanent bump. Temperature and humidity also matter. Apply between 15°C and 30°C for optimal film flexibility and consistent initial adhesion.

Weld seam grinding standards for sign steel frames

Weld bead grinding standards for sign steel frames

The welds on the sign's steel frame are hidden before and after panel installation, yet they determine how long the sign will last. We don't aim for a mirror finish; instead, we clearly define which seams must be ground flat and which can remain, then document these standards in the work instructions. Without this distinction, all effort is wasted on invisible details.

Cutting layout for illuminated letter backing

A 1200mm x 2400mm panel: the difference between cutting five characters and six doesn't lie in the blade, but in the nesting layout. Before cutting, we nest based on each character's outer contour—not by size order from large to small. A disordered sequence shatters offcuts into unusable scraps, forcing us to sell them as waste. The key lies in the nesting plan...
