>Entrance Matting Systems
Barrier and scraper matting that protects your interior flooring and reduces maintenance costs across Hertfordshire.
Why Entrance Matting Matters
Entrance matting is the first line of defence for any commercial building. Up to 80% of the dirt, moisture, and grit that enters a building is tracked in on the soles of shoes and the wheels of wheeled equipment. Without effective entrance matting, this debris is ground into interior flooring, accelerating wear, increasing cleaning costs, and creating slip hazards.
Effective entrance matting systems combine two functions: scraping — removing coarse dirt and grit from footwear — and drying — absorbing moisture from rain, snow, and mud. A well-designed entrance mat can extend the life of interior flooring by up to 50% and reduce cleaning costs by up to 60%.
We design and install entrance matting systems for commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, retail stores, and public facilities across Hertfordshire. Systems range from simple textile mat wells to heavy-duty aluminium profile systems with replaceable textile inserts, designed to handle thousands of entries per day.
The specification depends on traffic volume, building type, and interior flooring material. A retail store with heavy footfall needs a different solution to a small office with occasional visitors. We assess each entrance individually and recommend the most effective, cost-efficient system.
Key Features & Benefits
Entrance Matting offers a unique combination of practical and performance advantages for commercial environments.
Dirt & Moisture Removal
Quality entrance matting traps up to 80% of tracked-in dirt and moisture before it reaches your interior floor. This is the single most effective way to extend floor life and reduce maintenance costs in any commercial building.
Slip Hazard Reduction
Wet, slippery entrance areas are a major cause of slip accidents. Entrance matting with absorbent textile inserts and drainage channels keeps the walking surface dry and safe, even during heavy rain or snow.
Aluminium Profile Systems
Heavy-duty aluminium entrance matting systems with replaceable textile or rubber inserts are designed for high-traffic commercial entrances. The profiles are set flush with the floor, eliminating trip hazards and allowing wheeled traffic to cross easily.
Custom Sizing & Shapes
We measure, design, and cut entrance matting to fit any entrance configuration — recessed wells, surface-mounted frames, curved layouts, and irregular shapes. Every system is tailored to the specific dimensions and traffic patterns of your building.
Branding Opportunities
Many entrance matting systems can incorporate custom logos, brand colours, and welcome messages. This turns a functional product into a brand statement that creates a positive first impression for visitors and customers.

Case Study: Stevenage Retail Park, Entrance Matting Upgrade
The Challenge
A retail park with six units shared a common entrance that was bringing excessive dirt and moisture into all the stores. Interior flooring was wearing prematurely, and cleaning costs were rising across the development.
Our Solution
We designed and installed a 12-metre aluminium profile entrance matting system with nylon textile inserts across the full width of the shared entrance. The system was recessed flush with the pavement.
The Outcome
Interior cleaning costs across the retail park dropped by 45% within the first year. Store managers reported that their floors stayed cleaner for longer, and the entrance area looked more professional and welcoming.
