{"product_id":"gray-event-carpet-runners","title":"Oxford Gray Event Carpet \u0026 Runners","description":"\u003cp\u003eOxford Gray sits close to mid value, which is the most useful place a floor can sit. It does not push a camera's exposure hard in either direction, so faces, apparel, and product hold their detail without the floor forcing a correction. A dark floor lifts exposure and can blow out light clothing. A bright floor pulls it down. Oxford Gray holds the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat neutrality carries through the rest of the design. It reads architectural and contemporary rather than decorative, takes light without shifting its color, and sits under a brand palette without competing with it. Its tonal variation also makes it the most forgiving surface in the collection, breaking up both light debris and dark tracking on a pathway that has to hold its appearance through a full program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOxford Gray Carpet Size \u0026amp; Configuration Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable dimensions may include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10'L × 3'W Runner $57.00 | 10'L × 4'W Runner $70.00 | 10'L × 5'W Runner $87.50 | 15'L × 3'W Runner $78.75 | 15'L × 4'W Runner $105.00 | 15'L × 5'W Runner $131.25 | Custom Sizes Available\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinal recommendations depend on venue measurements, installation surface, guest flow, access points, and approved event details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCustom Carpet Sizing \u0026amp; Cut Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom Runner Lengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$2.00 per sq. ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in standard runner widths of 3 ft, 4 ft, and 5 ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended for extended walkways, large venue entrances, and custom guest arrival routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWide Carpet Installations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$3.00 per sq. ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft widths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended for wider arrival approaches, step-and-repeat zones, and stage approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarger square footage and full-room configurations are available on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustomized Pre-Cut Carpet Sections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$4.00 per sq. ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in advance to verified measurement specs for defined layouts, stage builds, and scenic installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOn-Site Custom Carpet Cutting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$5.00 per sq. ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor installations requiring field verification or shaping around stage, scenic, or architectural elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Carpet Is Built For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxford Gray Event Carpet is a cosmetic-first surface.

It reads clean and architectural, holds camera exposure without pushing it, and takes lighting color without shifting it.
