Premium Entrance Matting Solutions: Enhancing Safety, Cleanliness, and Aesthetics

The Essential Role of Entrance Mats in Your Building

When it comes to maintaining a clean, safe, and professional environment, entrance matting represents your first line of defence against outside elements. At Trusted Mats, we understand that choosing the right entrance is  a crucial investment that affects everything from daily maintenance costs to long-term flooring protection and visitor impressions.

Quality entrance barrier matting serves as the initial checkpoint between the outside world and your building. By effectively trapping dirt, moisture, and debris at the door, our comprehensive range of entrance matting solutions helps create cleaner environments, reduce slip hazards, and protect valuable flooring from premature wear and damage.

The Three-Zone Approach to Entrance Matting

For maximum effectiveness, entrance matting should be implemented using a strategic multi-zone system:

Zone 1: Outdoor Entrance Matting

The first contact point outside your building requires robust solutions designed to remove coarse dirt and larger debris.

Our Rubber Ramp Mat exemplifies this category, offering exceptional performance through its solid construction, raised scraper nubs, and water drainage capabilities.

Zone 2: Indoor Entrance Barrier Matting

The transition area between outdoor and indoor spaces needs entrance barrier matting that continues the cleaning process while addressing remaining moisture.

Our Aqua Barrier Heavy Duty Entrance Mat represents a premier solution for this zone, featuring bi-level construction and heavy-duty rubber backing to effectively remove and retain dirt and water.

Zone 3: Interior Entrance Floor Mats

The final zone requires entrance floor mats that capture any remaining fine dust and moisture, ensuring your interior floors remain pristine. Also known as a finishing mat.

Our Shades Custom Heavy Duty Entrance Mats are the perfect finishing mat.

Benefits of Entrance Matting

• Maintain Clean Floors: Our mats effectively trap dirt and moisture, preventing them from being tracked inside, saving you time and money on cleaning due to reduced cleaning frequency.
• Prevent Slip Accidents: With anti-slip properties, our mats ensure a safe and secure entrance area even in wet conditions.
• Create a Positive First Impression: Choose from a range of colours and styles to complement your décor and create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors.
• Protect Your Floors: Our durable mats act as a barrier, preventing dirt and debris from damaging your floor, extending the lifespan of carpet and hard floors.

Choosing the Right Entrance Matting for Your Needs

Assessing Traffic Volume Requirements

The intensity of foot traffic directly impacts the type of entrance mats needed:

• Light traffic areas (homes, small offices): Standard absorbent mats, e.g. Velour Vinyl, Velour Microfibre
• Medium traffic (retail shops, restaurants): Enhanced durability mats e.g. Shades Heavy Duty Mats, Shades Eco
• Heavy traffic (schools, shopping centres): Heavy duty entrance mats e.g. Aqua Barrier Mats
• Extreme traffic (airports, stadiums): Maximum performance barrier systems e.g. Frontrunner, Premier Track

Material Considerations for Different Environments

Different settings require specific entrance matting materials:

• Rubber: Ideal for outdoor use with excellent scraping capabilities
• Coir: Natural fibres with rustic appeal and good scraping action
• Microfibre: Superior absorbency for moisture management
• Nylon: Exceptional durability for commercial entrance matting
• Polypropylene: Cost-effective solution with good all-round performance

Our experts can guide you through material selection based on your specific environmental challenges and aesthetic preferences.

Size and Configuration Options

When it comes to entrance floor mats, size truly matters. Larger mats provide more opportunities for foot contact, enhancing dirt removal. We offer:

• Standard sizes from 60cm x 90cm to 120cm x 180cm
• Extra-long runner options for extended coverage
• Custom size solutions to fit unique entrance configurations

Remember our golden rule: larger entrance matting provides better performance by ensuring consistent foot contact across the entire entrance area. You can combine mats to achieve more foot contact, as mentioned in our zonal matting approach above.

Maintenance and Care for Entrance Matting

Even the highest quality barrier entrance matting requires proper maintenance to maximise effectiveness and lifespan:

• Regular shake out or use a vacuum with a roller brush to remove dry dirt and debris
• Occasional deep clean with a carpet extraction cleaner
• Some entrance mats are washing machine friendly for simple deep cleaning
