Entrance Matting Systems

Start at the door end of the matwell and measure from left to right then move to around the centre of the matwell and do the same measure then move to the top of the matwell and take the third measure. These are the left to right measurements so do not get them confused.

Next start at the door end again and measure from front to back then move to around  the centre of the matwell and do the same measure then move to the opposite side of the matwell and take your third measure. These are the front to back measurements so do not get them confused.

You can either measure the thickness of the existing matting if it fits level with the existing floor level which is always the simplist way or you may be able to use a depth gauge or a steel rule if you have one make sure to let the gauge or rule reach the solid base of the matwell and not just accumulated debris as this can give you a false reading.

If you have taken the measurements of the of the required matting in accordance with the FAQ "How do I measure a matwell" you will have left to right and front to back dimensions so the traffic will flow front to back and therfore the ribs will run left to right so use this information when ordering from your supplier to guarantee success.

No unless it is a very small matwell our Surewalk Stratos product is made up of simple interlocking sections that work like a click wooden flooring product which makes the matting look completely seamless and appear to be in one piece.https://www.matsdirect.co.uk/entrance-matting-systems#surewalk-stratos-rib-panel-aluminium-grid-entrance-matting-md7000

 A number of factors will determine the answer to this question.

These would include Infil type, base carrier (Metal, Rubber, Plasic) traffic quantity, debris type, cleaning regime operated, etc. However most matwell entrance matting systems are designed to remain effective for around 5-7 years.

This depends on the system being installed.

This could involve the following:- templates being required, the shape, the size, the condition of the base of the matwell (which could include repair work if not level or flat), removal of existing matting etc, However we also have systems on the shelf ready to be shipped that can be fitted on site requiring no templates, special tools, or engineering craftsmen just a craft knife and a straight edge even to the most complex shapes of matwells including revolving doors along with theft tagging entrances and when fitted correctly in a matter of hours depending on size, that will remain flat to the base of the matwell without creating any future trip hazards during it's lifetime.

With our expertise in recessed matwells we only need the measurements and a couple of photos of the current installation to be able to quote effectively even with a revolving door install so really no need! Small product samples can also be sent when requested to ensure requirement compatability.

Another cost saving advantage of using MatsDirect UK.

No, there are many factors to take into account so we will ask the questions required and once we have the answers we will recommend a suitable system.
