Product Criteria
Installation requirements
ALUMAT ENTRANCE MATS - INSTALLATION GUIDE
PREPARATION
Only install ALUMAT entrance mats on level surfaces. The fully rubber backed mat will absorb some surface
imperfections, but for best results, the surface should be as flat as possible. On concrete surfaces, it may be
necessary to grind off some areas, or apply self-levelling compound to prepare the surface. It may also be
necessary to apply compound if the mat well is too low for the mat in relation to the finished surface. Ideally
the mat should be at the same or similar level to surrounding floor surfaces.. Smaller
mats just need to be placed in position.
Maintenance requirements
ALUMAT ENTRANCE MATS - MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Alumat entrance mats are designed to scrape and contain dirt from footwear, as well as moisture. The rigid
ribbed infills both scrape shoes and help prevent dirt reattaching to foot wear. To preserve the life
expectancy of the mats, as well as to maintain effectiveness a few simple cleaning steps must be observed.
DAILY CLEANING
Vacuum clean the entrance mat. This will remove incoming dirt while it is on the surface.t.
PERIODIC CLEANING
Depending on the location of the mat and traffic intensity, additional periodic cleaning will be required.
Alumat mats are robust and can be steam cleaned using conventional spray extraction carpet cleaning
equipment.
