              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 PVC connecting pieces. The mat can be ajusted 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. This mat is suitable for average traffic entrance areas.
 
              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 different sections, each with a stride length of 35 cm to 65 cm maximally. The different sections are placed together to obtain the required size of the mat. 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.
