Entrance Mats

We have tried our very best to give as close a representation colour wise as possible. For absolute accuracy, please request a mat swatch sample.

Rubber backing is the most durable mat backing and is also machine washable. PVC is a cost effective backing which is perfectly acceptable. PVC backed mats can be steam cleaned as needed.

We would recommend an outdoor scraper mat used in conjunction with an absorbent interior mat.

Usually for dry dirt a nylon or polypropylene mat surface is best. Our mat product pages detail the absorbency or dry dirt rating for each mat.

If you are unsure what mat you need – please email us. We are happy to help.

A mat with a smooth backing is best for hard floors.

For rubber backed mats, we would recommend a gripper backing for carpeted floors.

Coir matting comes from a fibre made from coconut husks. It is a popular, natural entrance matting product due to its scraper action and liquid absorbency. Usually placed in a floor well, but it can also be loose laid. As it comes in different depths, take care to ensure you have enough clearance to open any door that might be obstructed.
Industrial Rubber Mats

Anti-fatigue mats are designed to provide a comfortable floor surface for personnel who spend long periods standing i.e. operating machinery or on a production line for example.

Comfortable workers are more productive workers. Anti-fatigue matting reduces fatigue on the feet, legs and back by promoting regular movement of muscles. Scientific studies have proven that the use of anti-fatigue matting has a beneficial effect on the postural comfort for those who stand for long periods of time compared to those who stand on concrete.

Swarf Mats are industrial rubber mats used to remove and collect debris (swarf) generated from a manufacturing industry or from passing foot traffic. They are designed with minimal maintenance in mind and can therefore be shaken out, hosed down or jet sprayed quickly and easily.
