Entrance mats for floor recesses

Entrance mats for floor recesses

Entrance mats designed for recessed flooring are the ideal choice for creating an effective dirt barrier in high-traffic areas. They trap dirt and moisture right at the entrance, ensuring a well-maintained appearance. Whether in public buildings, businesses, or private homes, these special mats not only offer an attractive look but also significantly contribute to safety.

Why is a dirt barrier important?

A well-designed system of entrance mats for recessed floors offers numerous advantages:

✔ Well-maintained entrance area: First impressions count – with a professional dirt barrier, the entrance area remains clean and inviting.
✔ Less dirt and moisture: By reducing tracked-in dirt and moisture, interiors are protected and cleaning costs are reduced.
✔ Durable and easy to care for: High-quality entrance mats for floor recesses are extremely robust and require very little maintenance.
✔ Safety for visitors and employees: The risk of slipping on wet floors is significantly reduced, which plays an important role especially in commercial buildings and public facilities.

Workplace safety through entrance mats for floor recesses

In high-traffic commercial entrance areas, safety is essential. Entrance mats for recessed floors help minimize the tracking of dirt and moisture, thus significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls. They comply with the requirements of the Technical Rules for Workplaces of the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ( ASR A1.5 "Floors ") and therefore support adherence to applicable safety standards. Furthermore, high-quality aluminum profile mats have a fire protection certification according to Cfl-s1, making them ideal for public buildings and high-traffic areas.

The 3 zones of a dirt lock

A dirt barrier works best when it consists of three coordinated sections. This combination ensures that dirt and moisture are removed step by step.

Zone 1 – Coarse dirt in outdoor areas

In the first section of the dirt barrier, mud, stones, and coarse dirt are trapped. Particularly durable materials such as nylon brushes or rubber flaps are used here. They are suitable for both covered outdoor areas and the entrance area inside the building.

Zone 2 – Transition zone for dirt and moisture

This area removes additional dirt and absorbs initial moisture. Needle felt is a proven material for this purpose, as it is particularly durable and simultaneously retains moisture. If space is limited or a three-part dirt-trapping system is not desired, needle felt can also be used as a standalone entrance mat.

Zone 3 – Indoor moisture absorption

The final aspect involves absorbing residual moisture. Entrance mats for recessed floors with carpet inserts are particularly effective here, as they ensure dry floors and thus minimize the risk of slipping. A high-quality clean-off mat further enhances this effect and keeps the entrance area dry and safe.

Cleaning and maintenance of entrance mats for floor recesses

Regular cleaning is important to ensure the dirt barrier remains efficient in the long term:

• Vacuuming and brushing: Coarse dirt can easily be removed with a vacuum cleaner or a brush.
• Damp cleaning: Depending on the material, occasional cleaning with water and mild detergent can help to thoroughly remove dirt.
• Drying: Mats should dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent mold growth. Many entrance mats for recessed floors are water-permeable and dry quickly in the air.

Important criteria when buying an entrance mat for floor recesses

• Slip resistance: Especially in high-traffic areas, a secure, non-slip underside is essential.
• Fire protection certification: In public buildings, a Cfl-s1 certification is required to comply with fire protection regulations.
• Custom sizes: Our entrance mats for floor recesses are available in various sizes and can be cut to size.
• Material quality: A high-quality entrance mat withstands heavy use and remains dimensionally stable even in high humidity.
