Our Story

Your partner in carpet per diem

CarpetDiem started on a show floor, where we saw an opportunity to bring innovation, quality and sustainability to a category nobody had bothered to improve. We have been working on it ever since.

We saw a better floor

We produce trade shows. Thousands of people, a convention center, months of planning, and one very good day when the booths finally come to life and a first-time exhibitor lands their first real conversation. We love that part of this business.

What stood out to us was the floor. It is the biggest surface in every booth, and it had barely changed in decades. We saw an opportunity to bring innovation, quality and sustainability to a category nobody had bothered to improve.

So we started a company. We supply sustainable modular tile built to be rented, cleaned, and used again show after show: a better-looking floor, less waste, and a cleaning and inspection cycle between every show.

From a recent deployment

What we are passionate about

Quality and sustainability usually pull against each other in this industry. Our whole model exists to improve both at the same time.

Simplicity

Nothing about how a show orders or installs flooring has to change. Your contractor handles it exactly as they do today, and we collect, clean and inspect the tile between shows.

Quality

Commercial-grade recycled nylon rated for heavy contract traffic, cleaned and inspected between every show, so a booth on day three still looks like a booth on day one.

Sustainability

Sustainable material with third-party paperwork: we certify the tile as carbon neutral, Red List Free, with EPD and HPD on file.

Why CarpetDiem exists

We are building CarpetDiem to change what a booth floor is made of: sustainable tile, supplied to the crews who already do the work, cleaned and inspected between every show.

Designed for events

Commercial-grade recycled nylon tile in popular trade show colors like grays, blues and beige, rated for heavy foot traffic, rolling carts, and long days that define a trade show.

Modular by design

Tile reconfigures to any booth plan without recutting. When a piece is damaged, you replace that tile instead of the whole floor.

Easier on your crews

Two-foot tiles are carried and set by hand, with no adhesive and no heavy rolls. Less strain means fewer incidents, and fewer incidents means lower workers compensation exposure.

Let's put a better floor in every booth

Show organizers, general contractors, and partners: we supply the tile, we clean and inspect it between shows, and your crews keep the floor.
