THE 3-MAT ENTRY SYSTEM: STOP DIRT AND MOISTURE AT YOUR DOOR

The main job of matting is to stop as much dirt as possible from progressing further into the building. If possible, there should be a combination of mats, including a scraper mat just inside the door, and one or more finer, carpeted mats, that will continue to capture dirt and debris as individuals walk into the building. Think of mats as entrance filters, because they filter the dirt that comes in from the outside.

Because people don't always stop to wipe their feet, it is best to allow enough matting for at least four or five steps once inside the building - that's about 12 to 15 feet of matting at the door.

STEP 1: SCRAPER MATS

These types of mats are placed outside your building as your first defense against dirt, grime, and moisture. Ask your sales rep about available size & colors:

• SuperScrape (Product No. 5555, 555)
• SuperScrape Plus (Product No. 5558)
• Brush Hog (Product No. 395)

STEP 2: SCRAPER/WIPER MATS

Depending on your entry way, these mats can be placed indoors or outdoors. Scraper/wipers should have a bi-level surface that removes and traps dirt below foot level, but also be designed to prevent moisture from leaking around the edges. Ask your sales rep about available sizes & colors:

• Waterhog (Product No. 200, 280)

STEP 3: CARPETED/WIPER MATS

Carpeted (wiper) mats provide a few more steps to remove the last bit of dust and moisture from shoes.

• ColorStar (Product No. 100)
• ColorStar Impressions /Logo Mats with Photo-quality imaging (Product No. 60)
• MicroLuxx (Product No. 1201)
• Plush (Product No. 180)
• Envro Plus (Product No. 2202)

INTERIOR MATTING

Interior mats are typically found throughout the building in main walkways, before elevators, escalators and stairs, at food service areas, and at transition areas where a hard surface floor meets a carpeted floor. Interior mats are also used in production, and manufacturing to protect against slip and fall, or to offer support to workers (anti-fatigue).

SPECIALTY MATTING

Stick-and-Stand Mats

Stick-and-Stand mats are adhesive-backed mats designed to clearly mark floors and provide customers with a safe place to stand while waiting in lines.

• Provides Clear Direction - Universal "stop sign" shape with shoe prints marks where customers should stand; mats can be placed at safe intervals in virtually any configuration
• Stays in Place - Adhesive backing keeps the mat flat and in place, even with heavy cart and buggy traffic
• Hassle Free - Mats can be left in place during daily floor cleaning; floor scrubbers, mops, and brooms will pass right over them without causing damage
• Won't Leave Residue - Stick-and-Stand mats are less likely to leave a sticky residue than floor decals
• Odor Resistant - Anti-microbially treated for protection from odors
• Slip Resistant - Low-profile high-traction surface provides additional traction and slip resistance
• Will perform up to 3 to 4 months under normal use
