MATTING


and as carpets are walked on, their fibres can be cut. Within the first six feet, 42% of the floor’s finish or carpet nap will be removed after only 1500 people have entered, thereby shortening the overall life span of interior flooring. Entrance mats are made with coarser fibres that are designed to preserve the floor by absorbing much of the initial abuse that would otherwise shorten the interior flooring or carpeting life to protect the investment.


HELP PREVENT SLIPS, TRIPS


AND FALLS In dry weather, entrance ways can accumulate dirt on the surface. Sand, bits of gravel and dirt are commonly called “boulder dust” because they act as miniature ball bearings when caught between a hard floor surface and a smooth shoe sole. The shoe loses traction and skids away causing the person to lose control and fall.


During bad weather conditions including rain, snow and sleet, flooring can quickly become slippery and interior carpet can become saturated thereby increasing the risk of slips and falls. Entrance mats play a role in reducing slips and falls due to wet floors by properly drying wet shoes and in keeping indoor and outdoor entrances accessible for people with mobility impairments such as walking aids and wheelchairs.


DESIGN-DRIVEN INNOVATION The new design of the Notrax Master Flex blends the functionalities of a multi-zone entrance matting system with the ease of on-site modular installation into an effective and ingenious matting solution. This full service matting system offers a harmonious transition from outdoor to indoor as well as from scraping to cleaning to drying. The Master Flex entrance matting system offers all the benefits of a matting tile that is easily installed, rearranged or replaced. The large quality carpet mat inserts in a variety of colors easily coordinate with the aesthetics of the building and interior design, while providing excellent absorption of moisture to dry shoes and preventing slips and falls. Made from a durable natural rubber

compound that is inherently resilient, anti-slip and withstands the heaviest foot traffic.


MODULARITY AND


FUNCTIONALITY An easy to install modular rubber entrance matting system of 50cm x 50cm tiles and can be assembled on-site for installation in mat wells in large entrances. The modularity makes it possible to create a multi- zone entrance matting system that combines an outdoor scraping mat with an indoor absorption mat using a large insert of quality carpet for enhanced functionality to prevent the maximum amount of dirt from entering the building and prevent slips and falls.


STYLE AND CHOICE The Master Flex can be customized with a large selection of quality carpet inserts in different materials, patterns and colors. The Master Flex C12 can even be fitted with custom-printed or logo mat inserts that are printed in any color or design for permanent installations or promotional events.


EASY INSTALLATION AND


CUSTOMISATION The Master Flex can be installed by hand without the need for hammers or tools. The connection system of male and female connectors attach together without the need for glue, screws, clamps, rails or frames making installation, literally, a snap. Simply align the connection points of the tiles and press together. For bespoke mat sizes, the rubber tiles can be cut with a utility knife using a metal ruler as a guide. Notrax Recess Fillers adjust the depth of existing mat wells to ensure proper fit.


PRICE EFFECTIVE The innovation in design, choice of quality rubber and carpet materials and advances in production have resulted in a more functional product. The outcome is also a more cost- effective entrance matting system that is changing the market.
