Why Entrance Matting Systems?

Foot-borne dirt carried inside buildings can be abrasive to sensitive finishes like marble, timber or laminates. Many surfaces will be made slippery by moisture introduced on visitors feet which can compromise safety. Increased wear on carpets and other types of floor covering can occur from dirt carried on footwear and the impression created by a carefully designed entrance will be spoiled. An efficient entrance matting system needs to address all these considerations by removing dirt, moisture and grit introduced on visitors feet, before it can be carried inside the building.

Special Matting Frames

Usage
It is recommended that for all Geggus EMS matting systems frames are required unless there is a pre-existing frame. They provide an accurate base within the mat well upon which to seat a mat. A correctly sized frame holds the mat rigidly in place and allows ease of access to mat well for cleaning purposes or removal of the mat. Top Clean Trend 10 mm and 17 mm can be used surface mounted with the Special Ramped Edge Frame in applications where a fitting well is impractical or undesirable (please also see page 22).

Specification
3 mm gauge profile in Aluminium, Brass or Stainless Steel available in a variety of depths and widths to suit your installation. To establish which size matches your selected matting system see below. All frames are supplied precision drilled with accurately mitred corners and specially designed corner pieces to maintain an accurate and square assembly.

Custom Made Frames

To match custom shaped mat installations, Geggus produce custom made frames to suit. The red lines indicate the type of shape where additional charges are incurred. For specifying your required shape accurately please refer to measuring instructions on Page 19.

Fitting
Frames must be installed level and true and screeded into the mat well to the correct depth. Geggus EMS recommend the use of a self-levelling screeding compound. Special attention should be paid to the final level of the frame with the mat installed. For installations of over 3000mm width, mats will be supplied in two or more sections and the frame will be supplied to suit. For frames of over 1 metre in length, frame sections are supplied with anchor plates riveted into position to allow the frame to be securely screeded into position. Drain holes must be provided in all exterior installations.

Planning for Geggus EMS Matting System

When planning the installation of a Geggus EMS matting system the following points need to be considered.

Selecting the appropriate mat type INSIDE

Optimum Effectiveness
The mat sits in a frame set into a well in the floor. How to measure for this frame and well is described on page 18.

Surface Mounting
This can easily be achieved with the Top Clean Trend 10 mm and 17mm which can be supplied with a Ramped Edge Frame (please also see page 22).

Traffic Direction
The installation of the mat should always be with the aluminium profiles at right angles to the traffic direction.

TRANSITIONAL AERA

Walking Direction

OUTSIDE

Inside
For an inside installation, any combination of Geggus EMS can be used but Top Clean Trend Ribbed Carpet, Top Clean Stabil Ribbed Carpet and Top Clean Object Ribbed Carpet is recommended.

Larger Installations
For entrance mat installation of over 3000mm, it is recommended that the mat is divided into two or more manageable units. For a guide as to dividing see page 20.

Transitional Areas
At a transitional or intermediate location Top Clean Light, Top Clean Trend and Top Clean Stabil are suitable in any combination but Ribbed Carpet with a Scraper Bar or Ribbed Carpet with Cassette Brush are particularly recommended.

Exterior Drainage
Where an exterior use is planned, the well must be equipped with drainage holes.

Outside
For outside use any of the Top Clean Stabil or Top Clean Trend systems except those with ribbed carpet can be used but the Grooved Rubber, Grooved Rubber with Brush Strip or Grooved Rubber with Cassette Brush provide the most effective dirt and moisture barrier.

Heavy Usage
For areas of heavy usage, extreme heavy duty or where trolleys are to be used, the Top Clean Stabil or Top Clean Object range is built to a heavier gauge and is more suitable to these types of application. See pages 12, 13 and 16.

Special Shapes
For special shapes it is recommended that a template be produced in a suitably stable material. The red lines indicate the type of shape where additional charges are incurred.

19

Measuring for Specification

General
Wherever possible Geggus EMS Entrance Mats will be manufactured in one piece. However, for mats in excess of 3000mm width it is recommended that the installation is divided into two or more pieces. This keeps the weight of any one mat assembly within reasonable limits with regard to moving or rolling up for cleaning purposes (See page 21). Remember to specify whether the matting is to be used in an exterior or interior location. If required, a fitting service is available. Please ask for details.

For special shapes

Please supply a template in a dimensionally stable material such as PVC at a thickness of 22 microns or similar. Take care to identify the upper surface. If you have any problem specifying a special shape we will be delighted to help.

Dividing for larger Installations.

Measuring
Ensure that you clearly identify: 1. The aluprofile measurement (side to side or at right angles to the walking direction). 2. The walking direction measurement (the direction of the traffic flow). 3. Whether the dimensions are for the external measurement of the mat or external measurement of the frame. Length of Aluprofile Geggus EMS Mats are connected with these special joining components Dividing a large mat should be carried out in such a way as to avoid the break occurring where maximum traffic takes place. Consult the diagram for optimum ways of dividing a mat installation. If in any doubt, we will be delighted to help.

Cleaning and Maintance

Like any other floor covering subject to heavy use, Geggus EMS Entrance Matting Systems benefit from a regular cleaning regime. The foot borne dirt will have fallen between the treads into the well. How much dirt collects obviously dictates the frequency of cleaning. In most locations, however, we would recommend cleaning once a week. The cleaning of accumulated dirt from the mat well is made so much simpler by the facility to roll up the mat while using a brush or vacuum cleaner to remove the dirt. It is important to ensure that dirt does not become lodged under the aluminium sections as this would stop the mat from lying flat in the well. Under normal circumstances the mat can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner but in areas of particularly heavy usage it is recommended that the matting receive a regular clean using a high-pressure cleaner. To do this it will be necessary to remove the mat to a suitable location and stand vertically for cleaning.

Insert Replacement
If an insert becomes inundated with a contaminant such as chewing gum or oil which makes it impossible to clean, individual tread inserts can be replaced as shown here. However it must be stressed that this should only be considered for one or two treads as replacement of more than that is impractical. New tread inserts are available by calling us and quoting the style of matting and the colour of the insert.

Strip out the damaged tread removing the old adhesive with a suitable solvent.

Remove the backing material from the adhesive side of the new tread and place carefully into position.

Finish by firmly setting the new insert into place using a rubber hammer. Trim off any excess material to length of aluprofile.
