EMS entrance matting systems specifically designed for the Rail Industry

Entrance Matting Systems Ltd is a British manufacturer of heavy duty, commercial aluminium grid entrance matting systems, specialising in high performance products. EMS offers an extensive range of entrance matting systems to suit all applications, including bespoke design and sustainability requirements.

Specifying the right entrance matting is especially important in high traffic demanding areas, such as railway stations as they present greater risk than your average entrance, which are often subjected to more extreme weather conditions from open entrances, heavy multi-directional traffic, often at speed due to people rushing for work or a specific train. It is extremely important these risks are minimised by using safe, robust and reliable entrance matting systems.

EMS has used their wealth of experience to design and manufacture specialised entrance matting, specifically for the rail sector. There are several options within the EMS entrance matting product range available to rail applications, all provided with the same heavy duty, long lasting, dirt-retaining, recycled aluminium grid system combined with a selection of different infill materials depending on the specific requirements of each railway station.

EMS provides excellent customer service and offer solutions to any entrance matting concerns. Trusted and specified by railway stations and businesses throughout the UK.

Designed and manufactured by EMS for the London Underground

EMS Multi-track natural section 12 entrance matting system was specifically designed to meet the requirements for the London Underground. LUL has the strictest health and safety requirements for entrance matting, especially in relation to fire safety and smoke emissions. In order to be on the LUL register you need to meet all of these, which EMS has.

This entrance matting system has a solid inter-linking aluminium grid system, with innovative debris channels to collect dirt and other debris as well as drainage options. The aluminium itself is 100% recycled. The infill strips are manufactured using natural rubber and moulded with EMS’s exclusive multi-track design. The natural rubber infill material of the multi-track section 12 entrance matting system was scientifically designed with the help of a passionate and well-respected lady at TAARC. A vast amount of work, including thorough testing has been carried out to ensure this product is the very best entrance matting on the market for the Rail industry and in particularly, the London Underground.

Upon the success of the Multi-directional design of the natural rubber infill, specifiers requested an option that could be used in applications not subject to Low smoke and toxic fume emission parameters. EMS Multi-track NS12 (non-section 12) which incorporates all the benefits and design features of the original, but at a lower price.

Both systems have been successfully trialled and specified in numerous stations throughout the UK. EMS have worked with contractors to resolve particular station’s complications as well as adapting our products to suit specific drainage systems; for example the 80/20 drainage system used at several LUL stations.

EMS delivers sustainable entrance matting that doesn’t compromise on quality, durability and safety.


EMS multi-track section 12 entrance matting infill comprises of rapidly renewable, natural and halogen-free rubber. Hevea Brasiliensis (rubber trees) live for 30 years and continuously produce latex during the whole of their life cycle. EMS sources rubber from ethically well managed rubber plantations. This material is then manufactured and moulded to EMS’s specific design and specification in the UK before being manufactured into EMS entrance matting systems.

EMS delivers a comprehensive choice of other sustainable entrance matting products for the rail sector and all other commercial applications. All EMS entrance matting systems are composed of 100% recycled aluminium grid systems and angle or ramped frames as standard. Aluminium uses very little energy to be recycled and it can be recycled to infinity without loss of quality or properties. Aluminium will last for approximately 30-40 years as entrance matting.

In order to address the need to reduce unnecessary waste from replacing full entrance matting systems, EMS designed all of their entrance matting systems from the very beginning, to ensure the infill strips could and still can be replaced. This results in tired, older entrance matting systems being retained but refreshed with like for like or different materials and/or colours as and when required. The aluminium grid systems and frames are combined with a comprehensive selection of heavy duty and sustainable infill strips made from recycled, recyclable and/or renewable materials.

Although entrance matting is often a small aspect of building and renovation design, choosing the right products can help the sustainability of the project as a whole. As a result, EMS has helped numerous building and renovation projects achieve A+ BREEAM and LEED ratings.

EMS are trusted by customers and contractors to not only produce exceptional quality products but also reliable, safe and skilled installation carried out by certified and experienced engineers.
