Anti-dirt-repellent mats are the first line of defense in keeping dirt and debris out of buildings. They improve air quality, reduce noise resonance, extend floor life and cut maintenance costs.

Dirt-repellent mats also facilitate access for people with reduced mobility, while ensuring the safety of all users (avoiding falls, slips, etc.). But they also contribute to the cleanliness and hygiene of your premises, while enhancing your image, since the entrance is the first impression your customers will have of your establishment.

To cut a long story short, a dirt-repellent mat must meet 3 main criteria:

• attractive design
• resistance to traffic
• excellent functionality

When choosing an antisoiling mat, there are a few criteria to consider:

Your environment:

• Humid environment: you should opt for an absorbent or non-slip anti-fouling mat to prevent moisture from penetrating your premises.
• Dry environment: you should opt for a scraping mat that will catch all the debris and dust found under the soles of your customers' shoes.

Type of traffic :

• Up to 250 passages/day: standard traffic mats .
• Up to 500 passages/day: heavy traffic mats.
• Over 500 passages/day: very heavy traffic mats.

There are 3 ranges of dirt-repellent mats:

• Scraping mats : Scraper mats have dry, hard fibers for effective scraping of shoe soles. Used in dry, dusty environments.

• Absorbent mats: Absorbent mats absorb moisture brought in by passers-by. Depending on the mat, they can absorb 3 to 6 L of water per m2, and are known as water-barrier mats.

• Non-slip mats: Anti-slip mats also have a scraping function, preventing dirt from entering the premises. However, they have one more function than scraping mats: they have anti-slip properties. These mats are most often used outdoors.

Professional dirt-repellent mats are used in all establishments with one or more entrances, such as :

• Public buildings
• Condominiums
• Offices
• Administrations
• Stores
• Schools
• etc ...

Custom mats meet a number of objectives, not only for cleanliness but also for communication. They are innovative communication tools that will make you stand out from your competitors and standardize your franchises.

They can be used to welcome your customers in your image, give you visibility from the outside and attract passers-by who don't yet know you. They can also be used as a gift from you to your partners, or as a point-of-sale advertising tool.

You can use personalized mats for :

• Inaugurations
• Special events
• Trade fairs
• Advertising purposes
• Promoting your services and business
• Standardizing franchises
• Make yourself visible to the outside world.

To choose a customized mat, you first need to know your needs:

• to highlight your store
• standardize your entrance
• advertising at points of sale.

Then choose where to place it: indoors or outdoors.

Retains virtually all dirt thanks to an ingenious combination of technical entrance mats mounted on aluminum profiles and cleanliness coatings.

Ideal for the heaviest traffic, over 1,000 passages per day, and withstands caddies, carts, baby carriages and suitcase wheels.... Reduces the risk of slipping on wet floors and the cost of cleaning your entrance. Suitable for high-end building entrances that require a bright mat without loss of quality.

Aluminum mats are used when an entrance is used by more than 1,000 pedestrians or wheeled loads per day. When the reception area is divided into 3 zones (outside, inside entrance, inside building)

When choosing an aluminum mat, there are a few criteria to take into account:

• Profile height: the higher the profile, the greater its dirt-holding capacity.

• Profile types: the thicker the profile cross-section, the more resistant the mat will be to rolling loads.

• Coatings: (reps, rubber or brush): The place of installation, the environment and the type of soiling determine the type of covering.

(Reps ensures dirt pick-up and moisture absorption. Rubber and brushes only capture dirt).

We offer a wide choice of colors to match your interiors.

Several cladding styles to choose from:

• Reps,
• Brush
• Gum
• Choice of height, etc.

Flexible, customizable combinations of different types of matting for complementary, consistent action whatever the configuration of your entrance.

Industrial mats meet the needs of ergonomic workstations and employee well-being.

They prevent:

• musculoskeletal disorders (MSD),
• electrical shocks ,
• ensure a clean and healthy environment in the food industry, by preventing the proliferation of bacteria for example.

There are many uses for industrial mats:

• Anti-fatigue mats : can be used in manufacturing industries, packaging centers, retail outlets and catering establishments.
• Antistatic mats: used in industries (welding stations).
• Agri-food mats: used in industrial kitchens, restaurants/hotels, canteens, etc.

Safety criteria: The mat must cover the entire workstation, be firmly attached to the floor, not shift or slide, and have bevelled edges to prevent falls.

Thickness and flexibility criteria: Contrary to what you might think, you shouldn't choose a very thick or very soft mat. The mat should have a certain elasticity, but still allow a comfortable standing position, without the user feeling slumped.

Environmental criteria :

• Wet environment: in a wet environment, the mat must not be slippery, so it must have anti-slip properties and a perforated surface to allow drainage of liquids.
• Dry environment: in a dry environment, the mat must have a granular, ergonomic bubble, striated or diamond plate surface. However, depending on the environment in which the mat is used, it must meet specific hygiene standards (kitchens, pharmaceutical industries, food processing plants, etc.).

Environmental hazard criteria : To establish more precise characteristics for a mat (antistatic properties or fire resistance etc...) we need to take into account the hazards present in the environment where the mat will be installed.

Where hazardous liquids are present in the working environment, the anti-slip properties and chemical resistance of industrial mats should be taken into account. The presence of openings on mats to allow the evacuation of fluids is essential.

Traffic criteria: We need to take into account the traffic that takes place on the equipment: how many workers can walk on it? How often, etc., in order to choose the most suitable mat.

Prevent the many problems associated with poor workstation ergonomics: RSI, static shock, bacterial proliferation, etc.

We offer a wide choice of industrial mats: on rolls, in standard sizes, made-to-measure or modular mats to suit all types of workstations.

Grating is a square slab of metal, polyester, rubber or PVC, made up of several parallel slats. The slats come in a variety of sizes, species and colors, and are grooved to prevent water from stagnating and the floor from becoming slippery.

• Polyester grating: 65% resin for chemical and UV resistance, 35% fiberglass for high mechanical strength. Molded in panel form, it guarantees excellent resistance to varying degrees of corrosion and chemical aggression.

• Rubber gratings: All our rubber products comply with the Reach regulations adopted to better protect human health and the environment against the risks associated with chemical substances. They are water and UV resistant, anti-slip, anti-fatigue, environmentally friendly, biodegradable and recyclable.

• Hygienic grating: Made from moisture- and UV-resistant PVC, hygienic grating prevents the spread of bacteria and keeps wet environments clean while protecting users.
