During the winter months, the issue of mud and snow being tracked into buildings can become especially troublesome. The most convenient way to solve this issue is to use outdoor entrance mats, which are an essential element of equipment for houses and apartments, as well as factories and public utility buildings where high pedestrian traffic can compound the problem of dirt accumulation. Aluminium outdoor entrance mats are a long-lasting investment for your entrance.

Why do you need the aluminium outdoor entrance mats?

The most important function of outdoor entrance mats is to stop dirt and prevent it from entering the interior. If weatherproof entrance mats are properly selected and absorbent, they effectively collect rainwater, mud or melting snow, as well as any other dirt that may be carried on shoes.

Aluminium outdoor entrance mats survive heavy loads and extreme temperature changes. Plastic or rubber-only alternatives are not that durable. In addition, properly designed external doormats fit perfectly into the body of the building and can enhance the overall aesthetic of our entryways.

How do the weatherproof entrance mats work?

The construction of our waterproof entrance mats is based on aluminium profiles filled with cleaning inserts connected with stainless steel cords. Depending on your needs you can order classic types designed for places with a moderate pedestrian traffic, or strengthened version called Marathon created especially for shopping malls and other facilities with high pedestrian traffic.

We also offer an elegant line called Prestige with wider profiles. Exterior doormats can be installed in grooves or straight on a floor using overrun ramps.

We can distinguish four types of exterior doormats:

These accessories are resistant to weather conditions and mechanical damages.

Why should you choose the aluminium entrance mats?

Aluminium entrance mats are the strongest option for busy buildings. They work better than regular mats because they can handle thousands of people walking in and out every day. They last long, and this feature makes them economic in the long run.

The waterproof entrance mats scrape off dirt, mud and stones from the shoes. They remove water and clean the soles. The dirt stays hidden from view and does not get tracked back onto shoes. Most of the sand and grit stops there. It does not get inside the building and smudge your lobby and corridors. Interior EasyMat doormats provide additional protection against remaining dirt.

The use of aluminium mats saves time and money on cleaning and polishing the floors. Moreover, the accessories save the floor from wear and tear. They protect the area from getting wet. There will be fewer unattractive wet footprints left.

Weatherproof entrance mats for any climate

Weatherproof entrance mats work well in all seasons. In winter, they will not get damaged by snow and ice. During summer, they will not warp or bend in the heat. The aluminium does not rust because of salty air or water. It resists fading from UV exposure.

Exterior aluminium mats work best at entry points; directly outside main entrances. They should be placed at doorways, staff entrances, and connections between car parks and buildings.

In buildings with revolving doors, the aluminium outdoor entrance mats should cover both the exterior approach and continue through the revolving system. They should be wide enough to prevent people from stepping around them, and long enough for both feet to step onto them.

Installation of the high-traffic entrance mats

Getting the installation right is important for how well the mat works. The entrance mat needs to sit level with the floor. A proper drainage underneath will redirect water from the surface. For the best results, the mat should extend across the entire entrance width.

Waterproof entrance mats are easy to keep clean. You can vacuum them just like regular carpets. They can be washed with standard cleaning products. Use the cleaning as an opportunity to remove any debris stuck between the aluminium strips.

The outdoor entrance mats make buildings safer. They prevent people from slipping on wet floors. Their grippy surface provides secure footing. The aluminium construction ensures they stay flat without curling at the edges. The stiff material handles heavy items that are rolled over them: shopping trolleys, small machinery and suitcases. Smooth edges protect against stumbling.

What should you consider when choosing high-traffic entrance mats?

Some buildings might see hundreds of visitors, while others handle thousands a day. Locations with very high traffic, including shopping centres and train stations, need the strongest aluminium profiles with reinforced walls. Only weatherproof entrance mats make sense in such environment.

The type of traffic also affects your choice. If there are shopping trolleys and luggage rolling through your entrance door, rubber inserts might be your best option. Office buildings benefit from brush-style mats that scrape dirt off shoes. The general rule is that people should take at least three steps on the mat for it to work properly. This usually means a minimum depth of 1.5 meters in the direction of travel.

In the industrial sites, drive-through cleaning systems which provide deep-cleaning for vehicle wheels.
