Make sure your reception area, foyer or front door space gives the right impression of your business. Setting a professional, modern and clean environment for your visitors and staff is very important.

Entrance matting can often be left to the last minute when designing a new build or refurbishment, however, EMS know from many years of experience in the industry just how important choosing and installing the right entrance matting system for the individual business and building can be. After all it is literally the first thing anyone will see or feel once they enter your building.

There are endless possibilities for design, including colour, pattern, sustainability and durability.

The main purpose of an entrance mat is to remove dirt, moisture and debris, protecting the internal flooring and creating a cleaner and safer internal environment for your visitors and staff.

Something to remember – entrance matting doesn’t have to be grey! EMS love colour, with their original Colortread entrance matting system and the 60 plus colours within the Evergreen Debris Channel ranges.

If you are interested in colour and design – please have a look at the exclusive Tretford Design Range and DC003-md multi-directional honeycombe recycled entrance matting infills.

Adding to the longevity of the overall entrance matting system, their unique replaceable infills and scraper bars make the entrance matting systems more environmentally friendly and cost effective.

Things to consider:

• Environment – Size, number of entrances and whether external or internal or both. Extreme temperatures or exposure to salt or weather.
• Doors – Revolving doors or other specialist doors catered for and worked with.
• Use – visitors and/or staff usage.
• Traffic – footfall number and type of traffic i.e. wheeled and direction.
• Design – colour, anodised http://www.entrance-matting.com/anodised-entrance-matting/ , texture, materials, shape including curves, pattern, logo and branding.
• Sustainability – Natural fibres, natural rubber, recycled aluminium and polyester or econylon.
