While there is no specific legislation defining the exact type or size of Entrance Matting, it is important to comply with relevant British Standards and industry guidelines when specifying Entrance Matting Systems.
Key standards include BS 7953:1999, which provides guidance on the selection, installation, and maintenance of entrance matting, and BS 8300-2:2018, which focuses on accessibility and inclusive design considerations for building entrances.
In addition, sustainability and wellbeing frameworks such as BREEAM and The WELL Building Standard are often referenced when designing healthy, safe, and environmentally responsible buildings, with entrance matting playing a supporting role in achieving these objectives.
When specifying Entrance Matting Systems, it’s important to consider several key factors to ensure maximum performance, safety, and durability:
Traffic Volume & Peak Flow – Choose matting that can handle the expected number of people using the entrance.
Mat Size & Coverage – Ensure the mat’s width and length are sufficient to effectively trap dirt and moisture.
Environmental Conditions – Select materials suitable for indoor or outdoor use, and for areas exposed to weather or heavy moisture.
Safety & Accessibility – Step-free and level matting supports accessibility standards and reduces the risk of slips and trips.
Considering these factors will help you select the right Entrance Matting System for your building, protecting flooring, improving safety, and enhancing the entrance’s appearance.
