Plush Fibers, Medium Pile, Flat Runner
Our red event carpet runners are that perfect goldilocks of a floor covering - thinner than you would expect but plush and cushioned twisted fibers provide a luxury walking experience for your most important guests and VIPs. Event carpet runners specifically designed for special events!
Carpet Binding Creates Polished Look
Bound edges provide a polished look instantly elevating any event type. Carpet binding not only helps your runner look amazing but helps prevent carpet fibers from fraying over time with heavy foot traffic.
Event carpet runners have a double stitched binding creating an ideal product designed for both commercial and personal use.
Backside of Red Carpet Runners: Nylon Webbing
Nylon crosshatching, also called webbing, creates a grid / matrix of attachment points for carpet fibers to be woven to. This gives the rug it’s thread count and provides durability for heavy foot traffic.
Reusing your red carpet and event carpet runners at your next special event is possible thanks to this top quality backing material.
Install event carpet runners with double sided tape for best results.
Double sided carpet tape specifically designed for installing event carpets, red carpet runners, area rugs, portable flooring, etc. Superior quality commercial grade double sided carpet tape used to preserve carpet for future use. Avoid painted floors or logo art surfaces, works on all surfaces above freezing. Clean / remove debris for best result.
Carpet Installation
Double sided tape with the blue liner is safe to use on all surfaces except painted floors and enables you to reuse your carpet runner without damaging the surface fibers or binding edge!
It works on surfaces above freezing temperatures and works on dry install surfaces. Be sure to clear surfaces of dirt, gravel, and debris.
For carpet on carpet installations use sticky polyethylene as a skin-like layer first and then install the runner with carpet tape to create grip between surfaces or simply don’t use carpet tape.
Carpet tape is NOT required, but always highly recommended as it enables you to reuse your runners and rugs for your next event and get the most out of your investment.
Use this rug for multiple events!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
The genuine Red Carpet starts at $119.00 (USD) plus shipping. Runners are priced first by width and then the by linear foot to achieve total cost.
-
Always start your event planning with a floor plan of your venue and/or take measurements on-site. Your event space determines the appropriate size runners and area rugs to use. A floor plan also helps you identify any obstacles to avoid and to plan a better event.
-
There is no typical or average red carpet runner length. Red carpet runners are custom cut for their individual specific purpose, event space, and/or to match the length of the step and repeat backdrop.
-
There is no typical or average width for a red carpet. If you plan on taking photos, a minimum of 5ft width is suggested to ensure the carpet is captured in all full-length photos easily. Major award shows use a minimum of 6ft wide for this same reason. The maximum seamless width possible is 12ft, as this is the full material roll width.
-
The red carpet pile yarn content is 100% nylon, sometimes referred to as twisted nylon. The backside is a woven polypropylene webbing which locks the carpet fibers into a plush grid. It is the highest quality USA manufacturing commercially available.
-
Red Carpet Runners share the equivalent durability of a high quality residential carpet and can be reused many times and potentially for many years. Residential rugs are rated for low foot traffic over a long period of time, up to 20 years. We use them in high foot traffic scenarios and at major events which drastically shortens their lifespan. Weather, installation, removal, maintenance, storage, and care are all factors that can shorten the lifespan of these rugs. Since they are extremely high quality, they can be reused if properly installed, maintained, and stored. Never tape the surface of the runner to prevent damage to the carpet binding as the bound edges are the least durable part of the carpet. Until the rug is spot-stained beyond recovery or the binding is damaged, our runners can be reused over and over.
-
Yes, red carpets are absolutely reusable, especially if installed with double-sided carpet tape. DO NOT tape the bound edges / surface of the carpet fibers, as you may destroy the bound edges and/or pull carpet fibers out as you remove it. You can easily reuse your carpet for dozens of events and/or many years depending on foot traffic and care.
-
The Red Carpet is 7/16” of an inch, .4375 inches thick, sometimes rounded up to .44 or marketed as 1/2” thick. This measurement is the “pile height” a factor in safety & carpet plushness.
-
The back of a red carpet is made up of woven polypropylene which is a durability webbing, not a non-slip backing. Double-sided carpet tape should be applied to prevent slipping accidents and injuries. Clear coat latex is an alternative you can request, but not as effective. It also adds to production time as it must dry.
-
Custom carpet runners and area rugs usually take our team 24 hours to cut & bind. However, based on your in-hands deadline and our production load it may take up to 3 business days. During major events like Fashion Week and Super Bowl production may take longer due to extremely high demand.
-

-
All of our carpets, runners, and area rugs are always bound with a complementary color binding for a polished look and to prevent fraying. If no binding / unbound carpet material is desired, a 5% cost will be added to your order.

-
Yes! The red carpet is durable enough for outdoor use in good weather. Avoid rain, snow, and/or high winds. Runners can easily get waterlogged and become extremely difficult to move due to their sheer added weight when wet. Be cautious if using carpet runners for a red carpet aisle, such as for a wedding, as uneven ground can be dangerous for trips and falls.
-
Red Carpets should be cleaned, completely dry, and rolled up on their original cardboard shipping tube to prevent creasing, wrinkles, and damage. Use plastic wrap, bungee cords, rope, or duct tape to secure the carpet in a roll around the cardboard shipping tube. Carpet fibers should face inwards towards the cardboard tube. Store in a dry place and easily use your rugs for many years.
