Sommer Needlepunch is the flagship brand of red-needled carpets in rolls for events. Indeed, the French company, created in 1880, has become the European leader in textile floor covering events. To satisfy all tastes Sommer has developed several collections of red carpet expo, each offering different shades of red from bright to dark; among them, you'll find for example "Tomato" the most vivid and "dark red" the darkest. So choose from three collections: Expoline, Exposhow and Exposoft.

It should be noted that all these SOMMER collections have an excellent Bfl-s1 fire rating, in accordance with the standards in force, in order to limit the spread of fire in case of fire.

But in fact? Do you know where the term "red carpet" comes from? For you too, the red carpet is synonymous with prestige? And you are right, red was used in Antiquity, in ancient Greece to be more precise, to accommodate individuals from high society such as political leaders, senior army officers or religious dignitaries. And for good reason, the colour red was not as easily available as today. Indeed the red was fined in a marine mollusc, which was very difficult to catch. That's why you had to pay the high price to get it.

Now you understand why walking on the red carpet was a privilege and hence the phrase "unrolling the red carpet" which means receiving with a lot of attention.
