Upgrading Durability and Efficiency at a Busy Shopping Centre Entrance | Premier Track

A bustling shopping centre located in the heart of London faced a pressing issue with the entrance matting. The aluminium matting previously installed was wearing out rapidly due to the high footfall, compromising both safety and appearance. The entrance, which saw hundreds of visitors daily, required a quick solution to prevent further damage and safety risks. With continuous foot traffic, closing the entrance for an extended period wasn’t an option.

This deterioration created safety concerns for both shoppers and employees, while also detracting from the polished, professional image the shopping centre wanted to maintain. The matting needed to be replaced swiftly to avoid potential slips and maintain the centre’s clean, welcoming appearance.

 

To address these issues, the shopping centre turned to COBA, a trusted provider of matting solutions. COBA recommended Premier Track with Closed Construction and Needlepunch Inserts, a highly durable and functional matting solution designed for high-traffic areas.

The Premier Track tiles, held in stock and ready for installation, provided an immediate solution. Their quick availability was critical, as the shopping centre needed to keep the entrance operational to avoid disrupting business. The modular nature of the tiles meant the installation could be completed swiftly, ensuring the entrance remained open, avoiding costly and inconvenient closures or diversions.

The installation, managed by the experienced COBA team, was handled efficiently, with precision and care. Due to the ease of installing the Premier Track system, the team was able to replace the old aluminium matting without causing any delays or disruptions to the shopping centre’s operations. This meant no downtime, allowing the centre to continue serving its customers as usual.

The new Premier Track matting instantly improved both the safety and aesthetics of the shopping centre’s entrance. The closed construction of the matting, combined with the Needlepunch inserts, offered exceptional durability and slip resistance, even under heavy use. This ensured that visitors could safely enter the shopping centre, regardless of weather conditions, while the matting itself maintained its appearance and performance over time.

 

 

Additionally, the modular design allows for easy maintenance and replacement of individual tiles if necessary, providing a cost-effective and sustainable long-term solution.

The partnership between the shopping centre and COBA resulted in a highly effective and efficient solution. The Premier Track system not only addressed the wear and tear issues but also enhanced the overall appearance of the entrance, aligning with the shopping centre’s high standards.

COBA’s quick turnaround and expert installation ensured minimal disruption to the centre’s daily operations, proving once again their commitment to providing reliable, customised solutions. Other businesses facing similar challenges can trust COBA to deliver top-quality products that balance safety, durability, and design.
