Frequently Asked Questions
How long should entrance matting be?
Minimum 3 metres for maximum effectiveness. This allows 4-5 footsteps to remove dirt and moisture. HSE guidance recommends at least 3m of matting at workplace entrances.
What type of entrance mat is best?
For most indoor commercial entrances, barrier mats offer the best balance of dirt-trapping, moisture absorption, and appearance. Use rubber scraper mats outdoors, coir for muddy environments.
How do entrance mats reduce cleaning costs?
Entrance mats trap 80-90% of dirt at the door before it spreads. Less dirt throughout the building means less frequent cleaning, reduced floor wear, and lower maintenance costs. Most businesses see 15-30% cleaning cost reductions.
