Entrance Matting Systems
Entrance matting systems are designed to stop dirt and moisture at the door before they spread throughout a building. Instead of relying on a single mat, a system combines different types of entrance matting to improve performance, reduce maintenance and create a safer, cleaner environment. Explore our full range of entrance matting options to find the right solution for your project.
Why Entrance Matting Works Better as a System
Most entrance matting fails because it is specified as a single product rather than a system. Effective entrance matting systems use multiple zones to scrape, trap and absorb dirt and moisture as people move through the building. This approach improves performance, reduces cleaning costs and helps protect interior flooring over time.
Barrier Matting Systems for Effective Dirt and Moisture Control
Barrier matting systems form a critical part of any entrance matting system. By combining different materials and surface types, they help remove dirt, debris and moisture from footwear before it reaches internal floors. This reduces slip risk, improves cleanliness and extends the lifespan of interior finishes in high-traffic environments.

Entrance matting FAQs
Why do I need entrance matting?
Our entrance matting products effectively remove dirt and absorb moisture from both footwear and trolleys. A well-presented reception area or entrance provides a positive first impression that visitors, and potential customers, will remember about your business and brand. To reinforce a positive brand experience, there is the option to incorporate a company logo or branding into your entrance matting system with our customisable Logo Matting.
What are the dangers of bad entrance matting?
In the absence of sufficient matting, slips and raised cleaning costs can become a concern, especially in wet weather. We sometimes find buildings, where the entrance matting has been incorrectly specified. This could mean the length is not substantial enough, to cope with the level of daily traffic, or that the product duty and material selected isn’t appropriate for the environment. See our eBook A Guide to Entrance Matting Specification, to ensure you get the best performing system for your specifications.
What are the benefits of an entrance matting zoning system?
An entrance matting zoning system improves performance by assigning different roles to different areas of the entrance. Exterior and primary zones remove dirt and debris, while interior zones absorb moisture and finer particles. This creates a more effective entrance matting system that helps reduce slip risk, lower cleaning costs and protect surrounding floor finishes.
