Your Questions, Answered

From installation to storage, we’ve covered the most common questions about how SmartSquare works.

How are SMARTSQUAREs stored?

If you are running low on storage space, you are not alone. The SMARTSQUARE system includes purpose-built SMARTCART trolleys. They are very compact, so you don’t take up precious storage space. Each standard cart holds 200m2, thus a standard school-size gym will only need about 4 to 7m2 of floor space for storage. Trolleys can be customised to fit under your stage, stairway, or they can even be made stackable. Also, they are very sturdy, so you can stack other items on top of them.

The high quality, locally made SMARTCARTs really are key to the overall system, allowing efficient installation and more time for your team to get on with setting up other aspects of the event. The non-marking wheels mean that there is no damage to the floor (watch out, though, to make sure there is no grit on the wheel before rolling it over your lovely sports floor!) They are heavy (approx. 700kg) but run very smoothly. To “break out” this weight in a rolling load is doable with one person, and easy with two.

That’s a fair question. It is a significant investment, but it is that, i.e., an investment, not an expense. It will last for years, it will save you money, and it can even make you money. The investment level does depend on a range of factors, especially size, freight cost, delivery time, and storage requirements.

However, do consider the long-term savings of this quality investment: how much do you spend on floor maintenance? Floor replacement? How much do you spend on hiring venues for prize-givings? How much could you raise for the school through trivia nights and venue hire? How much better would your parent-teacher evenings be with an acoustically improved venue? Your exams? How much would your students value an end-of-year banquet, onsite, as a memory they can keep? Worthwhile sharing with your leadership team, I’m sure…

If you want to use SMARTSQUARE for a one-off event, there are ways to do this. In most main centres you can hire something like it, however, this usually costs about 20% of the purchase price and arrives at your door A. without trolleys, so you can hardly move it, B. in a pre-used state, being either wet, stained, smelly, or all three and C. with the corners curling up so it creates a trip hazard.

SMARTSQUARE demonstration stock is available. If you contact us, there may be something that can be organised, such as a demonstration or a free trial (depending on workload and availability on your date).

Like all investments, yes, there are ways to spread the “cost” over a period of time. Ask us about hire-to-buy or part-purchases so you can start maximising your resources now.

SMARTSQUARE is a tough synthetic carpet. As such, you clean it the same as any carpet: vacuum regularly, spot clean stains when they’re new, and deep-clean periodically. Of course, it depends on how much use it gets and what type of events you are holding. However, the best thing about SMARTSQUARE is that you can literally take a tile outside, hose it down, and leave it out to dry (depending on what part of the world you live in!) Also, being modular, if you do get a stained, damaged, or unsightly tile, you can replace that one module, not a whole roll. Ask your agent for a cleaning guide if you need more information.

There are four colors available: Grey (Standard), Light Grey, Charcoal Black, and Dark Solid Black. (If you want a colour chart, just ask!) Over several years, we have noticed that Grey is far and away the most popular. This is because it is dark enough to accommodate normal levels of soiling from common foot traffic, and light enough to make the space feel spacious. The darker colours tend to “close in” a space, and make it feel too heavy. Also, the other colours are very limiting in what can be matched with them. Overall, the grey is more neutral and gives the floor an unobtrusive ambience for all kinds of events. It will keep looking good for years too, despite changes in fashion and heavy traffic.

Maybe yes, maybe no. We used to think the same, as did many others, but after years of experience, we have proved time and again that SMARTSQUARE users win in the long run. So, consider these factors before reaching a conclusion.

A: The install time being slower is a myth. I was there when we shot that video clip: it was literally 6 guys installing 400m2 in ten minutes, yes ten, I promise. We also installed a university gym floor the other day – 2000m2 in 1 ½ hours with 6 people. Having said that, the first time you install Rollout, it might be faster because you just kick it out. BUT it probably won’t be faster to pack up again – you’ll spend many frustrating hours trying to roll it up without it telescoping into a roll twice as wide (while the basketball team get frustrated because they want to use the court…) Then you’ll have these heavy and unwieldy rolls you have to somehow transport to the storage area and you’ll nearly break your back… The second time you install it, it likely won’t be faster: it will be wrinkled from being rolled up in a hurry, and creased from being stored carelessly. This will only get worse, and within a few uses, you’ll probably be putting sticky tape or Velcro on the seams to hold it all together: added expense, added setup time, and added frustration.

B: If you are in a hurry to install it, you can do SMARTSQUARE faster with more people. I can put you on to countless folk who have had bad experiences with roll-out, the reason being that you have to know what you’re doing, or you’ll make a botch of it. With SMARTSQUARE, you can use any number of inexperienced personnel on the job, and this will (usually) speed up the process. (Sure, it depends on the work ethic, but many hands do make light work!)

C: Uplift is another factor where there are ‘hidden’ efficiencies with SMARTSQUARE: Often, you will have a spill or a mark somewhere on the carpet. With rollout, you’ll need to leave the whole roll sitting out until you’ve fixed it, but with SMARTSQUARE, you can pack up all the surrounding modules and leave the offending tile out for cleaning (as above).

D: In the same vein, the overall asset is going to last a lot longer. If you damage or irreparably stain a roll, you’ll have to replace a whole roll (between 40 and 90m2). Conversely, if you damage a tile, you only have to replace that one.

E: Overall, the SMARTSQUARE product is designed and created for this demanding application, i.e., to lay loose without any fixings, without curling, and without marking the floor. Rollout products are really made for permanent installation, to be glued or fixed to the floor in some way. So, as rolls are used (and abused), they will deteriorate, shrink, curl, and wrinkle. Thus, after a few uses, your “events hall” will look very tatty. I often explain it by saying that rollout has moving parts; modular does not and will last much longer … As the Chinese proverb goes, quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten. This is so true; years after investing in SMARTSQUARE, users are still raving fans. SMARTSQUARE really is a no-brainer!

SMARTSQUARE has a five-year warranty, but lasts longer in practice. The lifespan will depend on how much the product is used and how it is cared for. A meaningful gauge was given recently by an event venue that phoned to order some more tiles. They’d been using SMARTSQUARE for 15 years, and they are still as going strong. (This was in a high-use commercial environment.) So, you can expect the SMARTSQUARE system to serve your organisation well into the future.

Time and time again, we receive feedback from customers who are surprised by the quality of the SMARTSQUARE system and just how long it lasts. It really is an investment that pays off!

The magic of SMARTSQUARE is really in the backing and balanced weight: it’s designed and created for this demanding application, i.e., to lay loose without any fixings, without curling, and without marking the subfloor. Whereas most floor-coverings are really made for permanent installation, to be glued or fixed to the floor in some way, SMARTSQUARE, when installed, will stay neat and flat (even if down permanently).

SMARTSQUAREs will not curl, fray, or tear. Seeing is believing: View the video again, or contact us for a demonstration at your place.

This can be a good idea, as quite a few venues will use SMARTSQUARE in different areas. The beauty of a modular product is that it can be used in any configuration. So, carpet your drama room, your hall, your lobby, or your gymnasium.

Another idea is to hire or lend their SMARTSQUAREs out to other nearby venues: schools, sports centres, or halls. SMARTSQUARE is easily relocatable, especially with appropriate vehicles.

Tony Mcbride

Assistant Principal, St John’s College Hastings

“Everybody is very pleased with the SMARTSQUARES and feels that they are far better than the roll-out carpet solution which was used prior. It is easy enough for the students to set up and up-lift the SMARTSQUAREs. The trolleys are great and make this process easier.”

John Wright

Principal, Mercury Bay Area School

“We are using the SMARTSQUARE system in both our hall for examinations and gym for large-scale events such as prizegivings, and it works really well and transforms our spaces.”
