With bespoke entrance matting, architectural grilles and creative ceilings, you can give your shopping centre the wow factor. High levels of traffic, especially in peak seasons, demand a matting solution you can trust; with smooth tiled floors in frequent use, absorbent matting is a health and safety mainstay. It also helps to maintain a clean and polished appearance to welcome your shoppers and make the ideal first impression.
A clean visual appearance is valued by all shopping centres, enhancing the centre’s appeal to shoppers and potential retail clients. Longevity of the entrance matting and flooring products and a straightforward cleaning routine underpin these values, and also help to ensure minimum maintenance costs over the long life of the system.
As public safety is of vital importance, high quality and effective entrance matting is essential. Matwell extensions or secure surface mounted options should be considered in areas with identified slip hazards, avoiding loose laid matting where possible, which poses its own risk as a trip hazard.

Volume of Traffic
High to extreme, depending on size/capacity of the centre.
Type of Traffic
Heavy wear: foot traffic / shopping trolleys / wheelchairs, etc.
