The 3 Zone Entrance Mat System

This guide has explored various types of entrance matting, each with its own unique functions and advantages. You can enhance the performance of these mats by combining them to create a matting system. When properly designed, zonal matting systems can be an effective way to prevent dirt and water from entering your building, while also improving safety.

We suggest using three zonal mats in combination with each other if possible, as outlined below:

The Outdoor Entrance Mat

The first line of defence against heavy dirt, mud, grit and sand, preventing it from entering the building. It needs to be able to withstand the weather and be designed with drainage holes to allow for proper drainage. A rubber scraper mat with drainage holes is a great choice for this purpose.

The Indoor Barrier Mat

The Indoor Barrier Mat is the first interior entrance mat that should both scrape and wipe feet. As this is typically the only entrance mat that people use, it will need to deal with all kinds of dirt and water. To effectively accomplish this task, we recommend using a bi-level entrance mat.

The Final Finishing Mat

The Final Finishing Mat is responsible for removing anything that the previous two mats were unable to stop, typically fine dust and some moisture on wet days. For this purpose, we recommend using a single level, tight pile mat made of cotton or microfibre. Placing a logo mat here is also an option.
