FAQ

A doormat is important considering that more than 70% of the dirt and humidity gets into buildings because of dirty feet or wheelchairs.

An efficient doormat can reduce the amount of dirt and humidity level up to 90% !

This number depends on the surface and the type of the chosen doormat. That is why the choice of a high-quality mat, matched to the situation and surroundings, is so important.

It is best to embed the doormat in a mat well in order for the mat to collect as much dirt as possible. A combination of different types of mats or inserts can increase the functionality of the mat.

• How intensive is the passage and what exactly passes by (e.g. pedestrians, wheelchairs, push chairs, heavy material, etc.)?
• Is there already a mat well or not?
• Should you put your mat indoors or outdoors?
• Does the mat suit the floor covering?

Our experienced dealers will gladly help you choose your perfect entrance mat.

The passage of your mat is the number of transits per hour. They are divided up into high, medium, and low traffic.
High traffic means there are more than 100 transits over your mat per hour. Think of airports, department stores, or schools. A lot of material on wheels also passes over the mats e.g. shopping trolleys, luggage trolleys, wheelchairs, etc.
Medium traffic means about 100 transits per hour. This applies to most shops and offices.
Low traffic means any location with fewer than 100 transits per hour.

• High traffic: more than 100 transits per hour
• Medium traffic: about 100 transits per hour
• Low traffic: fewer than 100 transits per hour.

The direction of the passage is the direction in which most people walk on the mat. A good estimate of the direction of the passage is important to ensure that your entrance mat works properly. The direction of the passage has to be at right angles to the profiles for maximum removal of dirt and moisture.
