Thanks to the structure of the mat the dirt that is scraped from shoe soles can be easily removed. Other versions of this mat are also available, such as the Brossguard® with scraping profiles and double brushes.

A mat is a perfect tool to familiarise your staff or customers with the image, the logo or the slogan of your company.

  production
 
 
 
  The mat is made to size in the factory. In principle, it is made in one piece, but in case of larger surfaces, it is advisable to divide this mat in several sections. When making the mat, the dimensions of the sections are determined by the weight of each section. The layout and the arrangement of the different sections are determined in consultation with the manufacturer. In case of broad surfaces, the sections are placed next to one another and separated by a reversed T-shaped profile. The width of the mats is determined on the basis of aesthetic considerations and required functionality.
