A GRAND ENTRANCE
Good first impressions can come from having a proper entrance matting solution, says Milliken, and can even help reduce floorcare costs elsewhere in your facility.
You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, as the old saying goes, but one of the first things you notice when walking into a building is its cleanliness. Selecting the right entrance matting system can play a vital part in making a great first impression. So much time and thought goes into choosing a building’s interior décor and flooring, yet the doorway – the first line of defence against the elements – is often neglected.
Up to 90% of the soiling entering a facility is ‘walked in’ through the front door, which can result in several kilos of dirt brought in per day – and rain can double or even treble this amount. When you think that approximately 40% of a maintenance budget is allocated to floor cleaning, and that efficient matting can save up to 65% of the cleaning costs dedicated to floors, it makes sense to choose your entrance flooring solution very carefully.
This can also lead to significant future savings on floorcovering replacement. With an efficient entrance flooring system in place, building cleaning costs can be reduced significantly, as less dirt and moisture enter the building.
Milliken’s aim is to provide a complete entrance flooring solution which helps you protect your floors and keep

them safe, but which also considers aesthetics and design. Combining style and function, you can create an entranceway to your building which balances superior design and image while keeping in mind safety and functionality. A mat shouldn’t be an afterthought of building design: it should be a key functional and aesthetic consideration.
For the best protection against the outdoor elements, public spaces and commercial buildings can benefit from a three- part entryway system. Depending on the size of the area, this system ensures that there is at least walk-off matting for 25ft, which results in most dirt and moisture being prevented from entering the building.
THE OBEX SOLUTION ZONE 1 & 2: ARX HD - PRIOR, TERGO AND FORMA
For Zone 1 and 2, Milliken recommend the new ARX HD collection, which features an ultra-durable interlocking modular system consisting of three products: Prior, Tergo, Forma, which are all offered in both 11 and 16mm thicknesses to meet all architectural requirements for installation in recessed mat wells or surface mounting on the floor. All three are available in open or closed construction for outdoor and indoor situations and can be combined.
