Becky Taylor, Brand Manager for burmatex – the UK’s leading innovator in carpet tile design – talks to CFJ about entrance matting.

“An effective entrance matting system protects internal floor finishes by removing the dirt, grit, grease and moisture brought in every time someone enters a building. By excluding these ‘unwanted’ visitors it prolongs the life of entrance flooring, reduces maintenance costs and helps to keep entrances clean and safe.”

“Our range of entrance matting products has been engineered to protect against the ingress of dirt and moisture and we offer entrance matting in both sheet and tile with various textures such as chevrolay, grimebuster and our classic smooth barrier.”

“Our design team can offer advice as to which specialist product to use, depending on the type of usage, as part of the overall scheme, for example we would recommend 7700 grimebuster for heavy footfall, and 7800 chevrolay - ideal as a powerful dirt barrier - for a busy entrance, which leads directly from outside areas.”

“We also offer a logo service which can be incorporated into entrance matting as an impactful way of enforcing branding at the first point of contact of customers and visitor as they enter the building.”
