Aluminium profile mat with brush insert and two ramp profiles: installed directly on the floor, with no mat well and no building work.
In an existing building, the mat well is usually the real obstacle: the screed has been laid, the floor covering is in place, and creating a recess would mean breaking open the floor. This version avoids that completely – the mat is laid directly on the existing substrate, and the two ramp profiles form the ramp edges on both sides, bridging the height difference created by the 20 mm overall height. As a result, the transition remains comfortable and accessible for both pedestrians and wheeled traffic – including wheelchairs, shopping trolleys or wheeled suitcases. The cassette brush mechanically removes coarse dirt, mud, snow and leaves from footwear.
The version with ramp profiles on both sides is chosen when the mat is walked on or driven over from both sides – for example in a passageway or when the mat is laid freely within a room. If the mat is approached from one direction only, the version with a ramp profile on one side is sufficient; technically, both are identical and differ only in the number of ramp profiles. As the mat is not installed into the floor, the system can also be used in rented premises and removed again when required, without any intervention in the floor construction.
This profile height is designed for entrances with low footfall: up to 50 people per day, recommended area 4–6 m² as a single zone. Typical buildings are family homes as well as small offices and practices. The brush insert is approved for Zones 1, 2 and 3 and is used as the first cleaning zone both indoors and outdoors.
The version with a ramp profile is the right solution wherever there is no mat well or one cannot be created: in existing buildings, in rented premises and in renovations without intervention in the floor construction. Not suitable for forklift trucks and construction hoists.
The mat is laid directly on the existing substrate, without a mat well. Depending on the location and the condition of the substrate, it is fixed with special construction adhesive or with expansion plugs – for secure fixing that prevents slipping. The ramp profiles are fitted in the front-to-back direction of the mat, i.e. on the end faces of the first and last support profiles; in this version, on both sides. The profile height of the ramp profile is based on the profile height of the mat (12 mm), not on the overall height. When fixing with expansion plugs or screws, check the route of any underfloor heating beforehand.
