This will be affected by 3 main factors; type of traffic, volume and area of application. If the mat is going inside a large undercover entrance then the mat can be smaller. If there is a large volume of foot traffic during a day then it will need to be larger. Generally, we recommend 6-8 steps on an entry mat is enough to clean the soles of shoes.
This depends on the product and materials used because some mats hold water whilst others absorb it. Polypropylene mats such as the Premium Scraper hold up to 7 litres of water per square metre, meaning it is contained in the structure of the mat and excess might cause it to become waterlogged. Nylon mats like our Absorba mat fully absorb water, so the moisture is trapped by each individual fibre. This feature wicks the moisture to the base of the mat so that the surface keeps performing.

Modular matting is usually a term that refers to mats that are produced in an interlocking tile format. This allows for an entire floor to be covered with no transitions or trip hazards. Another benefit of modular mats is that if a section is damaged this can be swapped without the need of replacing the entire area.
Precision cut logo mats are ideal for high traffic areas. They not only look fabulous but are also excellent at removing dirt and moisture.
