Aluminium profile mat with vinyl rubber 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 is in place, the floor covering has been laid, and creating a recess would mean breaking up 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 an overall height of only 17 mm. As a result, the transition remains comfortable and accessible, suitable for both foot traffic and wheeled traffic – including wheelchairs, shopping trolleys or wheeled suitcases. The vinyl rubber insert stops coarse dirt right at the entrance and does not absorb moisture, but drains it away.
Choose the double-sided version when the mat is walked on or crossed by wheeled traffic from both sides – for example in a passageway or when the mat is laid freely in a room. If the mat is approached from one direction only, the single-sided version 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, if required, removed again without altering the floor construction.
This profile height is designed for entrance areas with low footfall: up to 50 people per day, with a recommended area of 4–6 m² as a single zone. Typical buildings are family homes, small offices and medical practices. The rubber insert is approved for use in Zones 1, 2 and 3 and can also be used with permanent exposure to the weather; the recommended use is as Zone 2 in the transition area.
The version with ramp profiles 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 altering 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 stops the mat from 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 height of the ramp profile is based on the profile height of the mat (12 mm), not on the overall height. If fixing with expansion plugs or screws, check the routing of any underfloor heating beforehand.
