According to a laboratory test done by Entrance Flooring Systems Association (EFSA) in the UK, you should consider these key factors when choosing an effective entrance matting system.

  • Peak Flow Rate: The key times of the day when people enter or exit your premises.
  • Length of Mat: The length installed should correlate with the number of people entering the building per hour.
  • Environmental: An entrance mat installed externally needs to be of a higher grade than an internally installed one.
  • Sustainability: Highly recycled materials used in the manufacturing of the entrance mat are highly favored compared to those that are not

Key Factors to Consider

A new entrance mat will keep your premises pristine for some time, yet if there is a high frequency of foot traffic, it can deteriorate rapidly. Investing in a top-grade, superior option can prevent the hassle of having to replace it too often. That is why we have created this ultimate guide to help you choose an effective entrance mat system.
