SPECIFICATIONS
     

Description:





A rollable entrance mat consisting of aluminium supporting profiles and a walking surface composed of drying rubber strips and/or scraping nylon brushes with or without scraping profiles. The single or double profiles are separated by PVC spacing caps. Flexible steel wires running at right angles through the profiles keep the profiles and the strips and/or brushes in place.
     
Applications:


  These mats are suitable for indoor use and for use in covered outdoor areas. They are highly recommended for heavy traffic entrance areas (more than 100 persons per hour). The reinforced aluminium profiles increase the sturdiness of the mat; as a result, passing over these mats with rolling materials is no problem.
     
Brushes:


  UV-stabilised brushes made of nylon 6.6, firmly embedded in a PVC profile. The brushes have a height of 8 mm and are available in different colours. Each brush consists of approximately 110 bristles. The PVC bars are secured in an aluminium carrying profile.
     
Profiles:


  The aluminium supporting profiles have an adhesive and sound-damping bottom made of flexible PVC. The profiles have a width of 18 mm or 36 mm. The aluminium scraping profiles have a width of 3 mm (at the top) and are 22 mm high. An aluminium end profile is affixed at the extremities of the mat.
     
Rubber strips:


  The rubber strips are 15 mm wide. All rubber strips are new (no recycled material). The fact that the fibres are continuous guarantees the strength and the long life of the mat. The rubber has a shore A hardness of 71 and a density of 1,23 Tim'. Textile is grey or coloured.
     
Steel wire:
  2 mm stainless steel wires (type 316) keep the profiles and spacing caps in place. The extremities are sunk in a hollow end profile,
     
Spacing caps:
  The round spacing caps are made of soft anthracite-coloured PVC and have a diameter of 10 mm. They have a length of 4mm.
     
Dimensions and finish:



  The total mat height is 23 mm or 25 mm. The mat is made to size in the factory. Practically all shapes are possible. Available in open construction (4 mm) with single or double rubber strips and with or without brushes.
For more demanding environments, this mat can be combined with aluminium scraping profiles.
     
Installation:
  The mats can be placed in a matwell with a depth of 25 mm or directly on the floor; in that case, a ramping profile is recommended.
     
Warranty:
  5 years for structural defects in case of normal use (in accordance with the warranty conditions).
     
Tests:
