Double-Deck Exhibition Stands: When Do They Make Sense?

A double-deck stand builds a structure that is noticed from afar on the fair floor. But it may not be the right investment for every brand; let us clarify the decision criteria.

Advantages of a second level

The upper level can be set aside for meetings, hospitality or product presentation, while the ground floor stays open to visitor traffic. Height turns the stand into a landmark in the hall.

Technical and administrative requirements

The organiser’s approval, structural calculation, staircase and balustrade dimensions and fire exits are mandatory topics for a double-deck stand. The schedule of these processes should be planned early.

Balance of cost and return

The structural system and extra area raise the cost. It is easier to get a return on the investment for brands with high meeting volume that will truly use the upper level.

Quick checklist

• Organiser approval obtained?
• Structural and fire calculations ready?
• Does the upper level serve a clear purpose?
• Can the budget carry the extra cost?
