Product Criteria
Design requirements
Axis may be surface
mounted using a proprietary 15mm ramp matwell
system or recessed in the proprietary 15mm matwell. Must be over a firm flat surface. For optimum performance installation in weather
protected areas is preferable.
Installation requirements
An installation datasheet is available and is also included with every order.
Maintenance requirements
Regular maintenance of Axis is important to keep Axis
effective and looking attractive for years.
Axis does not have to be removed for cleaning as dirt cannot
drop through.
Daily Maintenance: Daily vacuum thoroughly with a
powerful vacuum cleaner, preferably with power driven brushes, working
lengthwise along the infills. This agitates the pile to loosen the dirt.
Periodic Maintenance: A routine visual inspection will
identify when Axis is becoming full of dirt.
It can then be cleaned with a water spray extraction method. Axis can be
scrubbed with a machine or by hand along the direction of the infills only. In
cases of staining, household solvents may be used, but must only be applied to
a rag and then rubbed onto the mat. Do
not pour solvents directly onto the mat as a breakdown of the infill adhesive
may result. Only use chemicals suitable for the cleaning of carpets, following
the manufacturer's instructions.
A maintenance instruction sheet is available.
Warrantees
Axis has a 20 year warranty on wear and
performance, stairs excepted, conditional on the product being installed and
maintained according to the manufacturers recommendations.
