CARPET​

​

There are carpet tiles on the Mezzanine, Ground Level and Gallery Hall at the BDC.

 

Exhibitors/Contractors wishing to build stands must ensure that adequate precautions are taken to protect the carpet from damage. You will be required to lay a wooden floor/platform before any additional floorcovering is used. This must also be finished with metal/plastic edging trim.
