Product Criteria
Design requirements
ExtraTread may be
surface mounted using a proprietary 10mm ramp
matwell system or recessed in the proprietary 10mm 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 ExtraTread is important to keep ExtraTread
effective and looking attractive for years.
ExtraTread 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 ExtraTread is becoming full of dirt. It can then be cleaned with a water spray
extraction method. ExtraTread 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 maintenanceinstruction sheet is available.
Warrantees
ExtraTread has a 20 year warranty on wear
and performance, stairs excepted, conditional on the product being installed
and maintained according to the manufacturers recommendations.
