  • I have worked with INTRAsystems on several airports & commercial projects. The team was very helpful on extremely short notice & respected tight schedules. Installed product is of the highest quality, especially in heavy-duty applications, performs very well and can be highly recommended.

    TEAM LEADER ARCHITECT ARC:MC

  • Thanks for turning it around so quick. The service you guys provide other companies should follow.  Always a pleasure working with you.

    Darren Elliot, Darcelle Flooring

  • The entrance matting at 77 Coleman has enabled us to successfully improve the functionality of the entrance mat, by extending it further into the reception, without compromising the overall look and feel of the space.

    Investment & Development Manager Kajima Properties (Europe) Limited

  • The absorbency of the matting is really good if it is a really wet day or even when there has been snowy days it doesn’t drag throughout the building. We have various contractors going throughout the building and it retains dirt very well. The functionality of the matting since we moved into the Hospital has been very positive to date and there have been no problems or issues when pushing wheelchairs, beds or equipment over the matting.


    Domestic Services, Balfour Hospital, NHS Orkney

  • INTRAsystems have been exceptional and extremely helpful, from initial inquiry for information to the sample that arrived on time. Great service that ties with great products.


    ARCHITECT, ORMS

  • The INTRAsystems matting installed in our new facility provides a brilliant first impression to anyone who visits AberInnovation. The tessellating system used by INTRAsystems matches the on-brand décor used throughout the buildings and provides a warm welcome from the moment visitors arrive.


    Equipment and Services Manager, AberInnovation

  • Intra offer a wide selection of entrance mat systems which we have specified on several projects without issue. Intra are a company offering the required level of technical support, cad drawings and ability to customize their systems to suit individual projects. Their CPDs are also succinct with technical content. Their success to survive VE processes are a testament of their price competitiveness.


    Senior Technical Project Leader, Trehearne Architects      

  • INTRA offers a great range of quality products competitively priced. It is good to talk to a friendly, competent team, confident in products range and performance. When it comes to specifying, we turn to INTRA first.


    Stella K, Architect

  • The quality of the INTRAlink2 surface is leagues above the incumbent matting and looks to serve us well, particularly in wetter weather.

    Lovely product – very spongey!


    Waitrose Basingstoke, Store Supervisor

  • Services was fantastic as always.  All panels labelled and numbered clearly, matching the provided drawings.  Delivery was as and when agreed, no damage and on time.  Products always good quality so this was a total worry free install from our end.


    Managing Director, Tailored Matting
