Your reasons for specifying Advance Entrance Matting Systems As well as being the best looking in the world our Entrance Matting Systems are…
Safe For your peace of mind Safety is a major consideration, wet and/or dirty hard flooring can be dangerous. Advance Entrance Matting significantly reduces the ingress of soil and moisture to ensure safer access for every visitor.
Up to 90% of slip accidents occur on wet or contaminated floors. The moisture absorbing characteristics of Advance Entrance Matting Systems help avoid the probability of these dangerous situations. Also the friction of our entrance systems cleans the soles of footwear - arresting the entry of dirty matter and moisture to ensure a safer environment throughout the building. Advance can supply lengths exceeding 6 metres to eliminate joins therefore dangerous heel traps.
Durable Long lasting
ENTRANCE MATTING SYSTEMS 30
We design and engineer our products to be robust and to withstand the rigours of heavy foot traffic - every day. Unlike the flooring surface everywhere else where foot traffic is distributed throughout the building – foot traffic is highly concentrated at the entrance.
Your 20 year guarantee Advance controls the manufacturing process to ensure quality control at every step, providing you assurance that the product will be free of manufacturing defects for 20 years. Advance guarantees its products for 20 years when maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions, fair wear and tear excluded.
Compliant Fire safety regulations The entrance of a building is often also the exit. For the safety of all people in the building it is important that the entrance floor covering is difficult to burn, has a limited spread of flame and low smoke development. Advance adopts the recognised ISO 9239-1 CRF (critical radiant flux) test, which measures the amount of energy required to keep the product burning. The greater level of energy required to keep the product burning the safer the product is. The standard requires a minimum of 2.2 kW/m2. Our systems achieve:
Coral Tread
2.5 kW/m2
Orbit
2.9 kW/m2
Axis Matting
4.4 kW/m2
Shuttle Matting
8.1 kW/m2
Extra Tread
2.7 kW/m2
Star Tread
5.2 kW/m2
These are complete system test results.
Polyamide Inserts Advantages Advance Entrance Matting Systems come with the unique advantage of cut pile Polyamide Nylon infills. This cut pile infill screens out up to 90% of dirt and moisture that would otherwise be carried into buildings from the soles of shoes.
Polyamide Nylon inserts can remove up to 90% of dirt and moisture. Polyamide is dirt and stain resistant, the cut pile surface is easy to clean, maintains good compression recovery and has excellent anti-static and fire resistance properties. The construction of the Polyamide Nylon cut pile infills consists of coarse fibres for brushing off soil and fine fibres for moisture absorption.
Advance Entrance Matting Systems with Polyamide Nylon infills provide safer entranceways, giving you peace of mind.
ENTRANCE MATTING SYSTEMS
Polyamide Nylon absorbs 5.13 litres of water per/m2 when tested to ISO 105.

Friendly To the environment We like to keep things real. Our industry by its nature is resource intensive. We minimise our environmental impact by applying a ’whole life’ approach to everything we do. We apply effort where it matters to ensure our product is engineered to be durable for a long first lifecycle. It is logical that after the first lifecycle - reuse (retaining the embodied energy) comes before recycling therefore minimising the environmental impact of waste going to landfill.
The base component of our systems are 100% recyclable. Our efforts also apply to carefully selecting products with these principles in mind. Polyamide Nylon has been selected as our leading insert of choice as its specially textured 100% BCF polyamide yarn is engineered to perform and last a long first lifecycle. We continue to devise better ways of doing things. And take sensible steps to make them happen.
Indoor Air Quality Stop dust at your door Improved indoor air quality is highly beneficial to occupants, and can have a significant contribution to productivity and reduced absenteeism in the workplace. An average of 0.58g of soil is brought into the building with every entrant. For an office of 500 staff that’s almost 4kg of soil every week.
ENTRANCE MATTING SYSTEMS 32
An average of 0.58g of soil is brought into the building with every entrant. It is important to be aware that dust is not neutral and may contain bacteria, viruses, fungi, insects and chemicals. Health complaints of this nature are often referred to as the Sick Building Syndrome. Building Managers must therefore focus on minimising the entrance of these contaminates.
Save On cleaning costs When you maximise the entrapment of dirt, dust and moisture by utilising the Advance Entrance Matting System you will make actual savings to cleaning costs to other flooring finishes within the built environment.
You can save up to 65% in cleaning costs. Not only will there be savings in cleaning costs you will also reduce the use of harmful cleaning agents in buildings. Quality entrance mats mean lower servicing and cleaning costs that also means a lower environmental footprint whilst prolonging and preserving the life of other floorcoverings.
Reduced Installation time Due to our strict quality control and that our Entrance Matting Systems are precision engineered - we make sure we make your Entrance Matting System right first time. Additionally, as we provide the complete solution, all components fit together seamlessly saving you time trying to find potentially incompatible components.
All our components fit together seamlessly saving you time.
Continuity of Supply ENTRANCE MATTING SYSTEMS
We have been around for 40 years and we expect many more years to come. During that time, we have designed and developed our own propriety Entrance Matting Systems that are well thought out and designed. These systems are timeless and continue to be specified in great demand. Our patented systems lead the world.

Entrance Matting Systems Specification Guidelines People entering a building do not often stop and wipe their feet so it’s important that an entrance mat is long enough to ensure there are enough contacts between the entry matting and the soles of shoes to minimise the amount of dirt carried into the building. The Australian and New Zealand’s code’s recommendation is that a mat should have a minimum dimension of 1.8 metres from front to back which allows for 2 contacts of each foot. Refer Acceptable Solution D1/AS1 Access Routes.
