Entrance Matting Overview
The entrance to your building has to be both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. Entrance mats are often overlooked within workplaces, however, they are literally the first thing people see and experience when entering your building so it is worth choosing them wisely. At Workplace Interior Shop, we have a selection entrance matting to suit your project and make a clean first impression. Not only is it an element of flooring, it is one of the few defences you have to keep the interior of your building looking fresh and clean.
Entrance Carpet
Entrance matting (also referred to as entrance carpet) is a heavy duty carpet used in the entrance to buildings. This ensures dirt and debris is removed from footwear and prevented from being walked into the rest of the building! At Workplace Interior Shop, we supply a range of options from Burmatex, JHS and Rawson.
Benefits of Entrance Matting
Installing the right entrance matting can help your business save on cleaning expenses. According to experts, it can cost up to £800 to remove a kilogram of dirt once it has spread throughout the building. A single person has potential to bring in 0.58 grams of dirt per day, so for large businesses and high foot fall areas, this can quickly mount up and contribute to maintenance expenses.

What is entrance matting?
Entrance matting, also known as entrance carpet, plays a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of building entrances. It is a heavy-duty flooring solution designed to trap dirt, moisture and debris from footwear at the doorway, preventing these elements from being tracked further into the premises.

Why is entrance matting important?
Entrance matting is essential for several reasons, primarily for maintaining the cleanliness and longevity of your building's interior. It acts as the first line of defence against dirt, moisture, and debris, significantly reducing the amount of these elements entering your premises. This not only helps in keeping the floors clean but also extends their lifespan by preventing damage caused by grit and moisture. Furthermore, entrance matting enhances safety by minimising the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet conditions. By absorbing excess moisture and providing a stable surface to walk on, it ensures a safer environment for everyone entering the building. Additionally, the right entrance matting can contribute to energy savings by acting as an insulator, reducing the amount of heat lost through the entrance area.

What is the best material for entrance mats?
The best material for entrance mats largely depends on the specific requirements of your premises, including foot traffic volume, aesthetic preferences and maintenance capabilities. With that said, polypropylene and nylon are among the most popular and effective materials for entrance matting due to their durability, moisture resistance and ability to trap dirt and debris. Polypropylene mats are renowned for their hard-wearing nature and excellent moisture absorption capabilities, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Nylon, on the other hand, offers superior resilience and dirt removal efficiency, alongside a plush appearance that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your entrance area.
