Uses of Entrance Mats

Practically all types of building can benefit from the use of entrance mats.

It is important however to choose the correct entrance mat to suit your needs.

For instance if the entrance mat is to be used in a building with a large volume of foot traffic then a heavy duty entrance mat is required. This would be most suitable in premises such as airports, supermarkets, shopping centres, schools, hospitals and busy office buildings.

It can also be a benefit to use a scraper type entrance mat outside the building to initially remove any heavy soil from foot traffic together with an interior entrance mat to remove finer dirt particles and moisture form shoes and boots.

Some premises are designed with a recess in the floor by the main entrance. This is known as a mat well and special entrance mats are available to fit inside these mat wells. This can have the added benefit that as the top surface of the entrance mat is flush with the floor, trip hazards are significantly reduced.
