COMPOSITION

The Polyguard®, a combination of the moisture-absorbing rubber strips of the Topguard® and the durable nylon brushes of the Brossguard®, with an additional aluminium scraping profile.
> The strips and profiles are kept in place by steel wires. The mat can be adjusted to any situation thanks to the many possibilities to combine the different components. Verimpex will be glad to design the perfect entrance mat for you.
The open, rollable construction allows easy removal of dirt.

CONSTRUCTION

The Polyguard® is available in single, double and mix construction.
The Polyguard® can be executed with single or double strips. With double strips the mat has 30% more drying surface.
An extra aluminium scraping profile is available for extra scraping motion, ideal if heavy material passes over the mat.

production

	The mat is made to size in the factory. 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.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Regular maintenance	Remove the dirt from the matwell using a brush or a vacuum cleaner after having rolled up the mat. Remove the dry dirt remaining on the mat by vacuuming in the direction of the profiles (not perpendicular to the direction of the profiles).
