Double Deck Exhibition Stands
A double-deck doubles usable space without doubling floor cost — the reason exhibitors with meeting-heavy sales cycles keep choosing them. We engineer, certify and build them across Europe.
- Ground floor for demo and footfall, first floor for meetings and hospitality
- Full structural engineering and load calculations
- Organiser approval and neighbour-consent process handled
- Typically £1,100–£1,900 per sqm of ground footprint
When a double-deck makes sense
When you need six or more simultaneous private meetings, when space rental per square metre is high, or when brand presence in the hall matters and height is the only lever available. Below 60 sqm of footprint a double-deck rarely justifies itself.
The constraints to check first
- Hall clear height — most double-decks need 5–6m available
- Floor loading limits, especially in older or upper-floor halls
- Organiser height policy and neighbour consent requirements
- Longer build-up window, often an extra day
- Staircase and, at larger sizes, accessibility provision
Frequently asked questions
How much does a double deck exhibition stand cost?
Typically £1,100–£1,900 per square metre of ground footprint. A 100 sqm double-deck usually lands between £140,000 and £230,000 including space, freight and services.
What approvals does a double deck stand need?
Stamped structural calculations, full technical drawings, fire certification and organiser sign-off, usually 8–12 weeks before build-up. Some venues also require neighbouring exhibitor consent.
