EventDeck 1 - event flooring for natural & synthetic turf protection

EventDeck 1 temporary flooring is our most popular and versatile stadium flooring system, with millions of square feet of product in use. It is ideally suited for natural turf protection (as well as some synthetic turf applications). It is the ideal floor for areas where pedestrians and lightweight static equipment will be used. EventDeck portable flooring is economical and allows you to turn your facility into a truly multi-purpose event venue.

EventDeck 1 is Proven at Facilities Worldwide

When you rent or purchase an EventDeck 1 system, you can have the confidence that you are using a proven natural and synthetic turf protection system that has been deployed in some of the world's most prestigious facilities such as LP Field (Tennessee Titans - NFL), M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore Ravens - NFL), Reliant Stadium (Houston Texans - NFL), (Cincinatti Bengals - NFL), Olympiakos Stadium (Greece), National Stadium (Bulgaria), Velez Stadium (Argentina), National Stadium (Dominica), Kiev Stadium (Ukraine), Turkey, Latvia, Chile and many others worldwide.

Use EventDeck 1 on Multiple Surface Types

EventDeck modular flooring may be used for turf protection over Bluegrass, Rye, Bermuda Grass, and other warm and cold weather grass varieties and has been used extensively worldwide in all climate conditions. ED1 may also be used for protection of both mono and duo-filament synthetic turf and both sand and rubber in-fill fields, though you may wish to consider our ED2 for synthetic turf applications.

Each EventDeck module incorporates drainage, air ventilation, a moisture canopy, and bi-lateral cross ribbing for effective weight distribution. These features make EventDeck the leading stadium flooring system worldwide.

EventDeck 1 Rapidly Deploys in Any Stadium

An entire 80,000 sq/ft (7,432 sqm) stadium can be deployed in 5-6 hours with about 20 people and can be removed in about 5 hours using 16 people. This rapid turnaround time enables EventDeck to be deployed closer to the actual event time, further minimizing the potential for grass damage.

With the use of our industry leading Expansion Joint installation is further enhanced as installation can occur in multiple areas simultaneously, further speeding installation. This secondary benefit to the ED-XJ (expansion joint) allows for large flexibility in crew size and a generally easier installation process.

Deploy and Remove EventDeck 1 Quickly Without Tools or Other Equipment

The EventDeck 1 temporary flooring system is designed to be easily deployed without tools and is completely expandable and configurable as required on-site. Pre-assembled sections pack compactly and efficiently for easy transport and storage.

Each EventDeck module connects using a unique inter-module connection system that enables tiles to be snapped into place in both directions and allows larger sections to be transported as a single sheet or panel.

Each specially designed connector T utilizes a unique tubular design that serves as both a connector and a fully functional hinge. This system allows the entire system to contour to the field as needed to accommodate "crowned" fields and other surface imperfections or variations or to be rolled as needed.

Signature's proprietary floor design enables EventDeck to be positioned using ones feet only, eliminating the need to bend over, use hands, or any tools.

Each individual flooring section is gently curved on the male connector side and correspondingly curved on the female side, such that when a section is butted up against another, it may be nudged into place easily and will self-position. Once positioned, connectors are lined up and ready for snap down connection. This industry leading feature proves invaluable for stadium sized installations and saves labor, time, and effort.

Industry-Leading Engineered Expansion Module

All plastic flooring materials will expand and contract during fluctuating temperature conditions. This phenomenon of thermal expansion is a result of the nuclear expansion within the plastic and is a natural property of all plastic materials (and many other materials as well). In plastic modular floors, expansion can result in floors warping, buckling, disconnecting or otherwise becoming uneven.

Only Signature Flooring offers an engineered expansion joint module to accommodate the thermal expansion that can occur during varying temperature conditions. Like an expansion joint in a bridge, building, or highway, the EventDeck expansion module is designed to accommodate natural expansion.

Until the development of the EventDeck Expansion Module (ED-XJ), event managers, concert promoters, stadium managers, groundskeepers and others involved in the production of concerts or other on-field events simply had to accept the inconvenient condition of thermal expansion at outdoor events as unavoidable.

With ED-XJ organizers can feel comfortable knowing that the EventDeck system will be able to handle temperature fluctuation throughout the day and night, avoiding potential warping or buckling and giving you the peace of mind that an engineered solution is in place.

EventDeck 1 Offers Superior Grass Protection Characteristics

EventDeck modular flooring was specifically engineered to provide optimal grass protection during your on-field events AND to minimize the post-event visibility of repeating geometric surface patterns common with older flooring systems.

For your grass each ED1 module incorporates:

- Bi-lateral ribbing for greater structural stability and effective weight distribution.

- A unique rib pattern design that minimizes concentrated surface contact (which can cause turf burn and browning).

- Cross module drainage channels to prevent water buildup (allows normal field water flow and drainage during rainy conditions).

- No large circular support pads (avoids deep depressions and patterns in the field post removal).

- Integrated drainage holes that also provide light, air, and ventilation (prevents mold or fungus and keeps grass looking healthy).

- A moisture canopy that provides shade, retains some moisture and promotes growth (prevents burning of grass – grass often looks greener after an event using EventDeck).

General tips on protecting your grass during on-field events

EventDeck 1 is Manufactured Using the Highest Quality Materials

Each EventDeck temporary flooring module is manufactured using a high quality co-polymer plastic material that has a high izod impact value and specific no-break characteristics. A 5-year UV package is incorporated into the material formulation to prevent brittleness over time as a result of sun exposure. High ethylene content provides flexure and prevents cracking.

Connector tabs are specially designed with some flexure to prevent tab/connector breakage and to allow for rapid connection and breakdown.

As a result of Signature's quality material formulation each EventDeck floor is able to resist the rigors of regular use and will not break, crack, fade or become brittle. It has proven itself worldwide in all climates and conditions.

EventDeck 1 Has No Channels or Dirt-Catching Surfaces

EventDeck has no submerged channels into which food, debris, cigarette butts, or other troublesome garbage can be lodged. Each section has an anti-slip sandblast finish that is easy to clean using a mop and is elegant and attractive. EventDeck portable flooring has no unsightly patterns to catch dirt and as such is the lowest maintenance system available.
