The 3-Zone Entrance Matting System
Up to 85% of dirt, grit, and moisture entering a commercial facility is tracked in on pedestrian footwear. An engineered 3-zone sequence stops soil at the threshold, protecting interior floors and reducing lifecycle cleaning overhead.
Exterior Coarse Scrape
Located directly outside the entry or under canopies. Removes heavy grit, gravel, sand, and mud before pedestrians step across the doorway threshold.
- • Recommended Systems: TC02 All-Aluminium or TC04 Stiff Brush
- • Key Feature: Non-absorbing, weather-resistant wiper rails
- • Maintenance: Periodic vacuuming and power washing
Airlock / Vestibule Transition
Positioned inside revolving doors, sliding airlocks, or immediate entrance foyers. Combines aggressive scraping strips with moisture-absorbing carpet ribs.
- • Recommended Systems: TC03 Dual Carpet & Brush Hybrid
- • Key Feature: Simultaneous scraping and water capture
- • Slip Rating: AS 4586 Class P4
Internal Foyer Moisture Trap
Located in internal corridors, lift lobbies, and reception halls. Ultra-dense nylon carpet treads absorb residual moisture and fine dust particles.
- • Recommended Systems: TC01 Carpet Infill or Heavy Duty Runners
- • Key Feature: Footwear sole drying to eliminate slip liability
- • Rating: AS ISO 9239.1 Fire Tested
Walk-off Distance & Soil Containment Efficacy
Independent architectural research demonstrates that soil containment directly correlates with the total linear walk-off distance of the matting system:
Traps coarse debris (approx. 2 to 3 footsteps). Minimum acceptable architectural threshold.
Traps moisture and fine dirt (approx. 4 to 6 footsteps). Recommended for commercial office buildings.
Virtually eliminates slip hazards and floor wear (8+ footsteps). Mandatory for shopping centres and transport hubs.
