Rubber Waffle Backed Fibre Bonded Entrance Matting | 12mm | Cut-and-Loop Pile | Priced Per Linear Metre | Anthracite How pricing works: Priced per linear metre of length. Select your width (2m or 4m) and the length you need. E.g. selecting 1m length / 2m wide gives a piece 1m × 2m (2m² total). Cut to your exact specification. Heavy-duty anthracite fibre bonded entrance matting with rubber waffle backing — the commercial standard for education, public sector buildings, apartment complexes, and high-footfall entrance transition areas. At 12mm thick with a cut-and-loop polypropylene pile, this matting handles the most demanding environments while maintaining a professional, uniform appearance. The rubber waffle backing sets this product apart for loose-lay installations: it grips hard floors without adhesive, making it ideal for footwells, lift lobbies, and any area where the mat needs to be removed for cleaning or replaced periodically. Key Features Rubber waffle backing — grips hard floors firmly without adhesive; ideal for loose-lay in footwells, lift lobbies, and small entrance areas; can also be permanently adhered 12mm total thickness — 2mm thicker than standard entrance matting, providing superior cushioning underfoot and excellent dirt/moisture retention depth Cut-and-loop pile construction — combines cut fibre tips and looped fibre for maximum scraping action on both wet and dry footwear; particularly effective at removing mud from rural and outdoor settings 90% Polypropylene + 10% Recycled Polyester — synthetic blend that will not rot, mould, or shrink; the recycled polyester content adds dimensional stability to the pile structure Anti-fray edges — cut edges will not unravel or degrade, even with heavy wheeled traffic across them Available in 2m and 4m widths — 4m width eliminates joins in wide entrances, double doorways, and full-width corridor coverage Low maintenance — vacuum regularly; polypropylene construction withstands wet extraction cleaning without shrinkage or delamination Product Specifications Construction Fibre Bonded — Cut and Loop Pile Pile Content 90% Polypropylene, 10% Recycled Polyester Backing Rubber Waffle Thickness 12mm Colour Anthracite (Dark Charcoal Grey) Available Widths 2m or 4m Available Lengths 0.5m up to 10m (cut to length) Anti-Fray Yes Suitability Interior commercial — education, public sector, apartments, offices, hospitality Installation Loose-lay (rubber backing grips floor) or permanent adhesive Ideal Applications Schools and educational buildings — cut-and-loop pile and anti-fray edges withstand wheeled trolleys, sports equipment, and extremely high pupil footfall Apartment block communal entrances — rubber waffle backing allows easy removal for periodic replacement; anthracite hides soiling effectively in unattended communal areas NHS and healthcare buildings — polypropylene construction is cleanable with disinfectant; will not harbour allergens or mould Local authority and public buildings — heavy-duty specification meets procurement requirements for high-traffic public areas Office reception footwells and lift lobbies — rubber backing holds the mat firmly in small transition areas without curling or migration Leisure centres and gyms — handles sports footwear, wet feet, and wheeled equipment without pile distortion Why 4m Width Makes Sense Standard entrance matting is sold in 2m widths, which means double-door entrances and wide corridors require a join. Joins are potential trip points and look unprofessional. The 4m wide option eliminates this entirely — a single piece covers most commercial entrance widths and double-door lobby areas without any seaming. For education and public sector procurement, specifying 4m width often reduces installation time and cost significantly. Installation For loose-lay: simply cut to size and drop in place. The rubber waffle backing creates strong friction against hard floors and will not migrate under normal foot traffic. For permanent installation in high-traffic areas, bond the rubber backing using a suitable flooring adhesive. Trim with a sharp utility knife — anti-fray construction means cut edges remain clean and stable. Maintenance Vacuum regularly with a commercial upright vacuum cleaner. The cut-and-loop pile releases trapped dirt effectively when vacuumed. For deep cleaning, use a wet extraction machine — polypropylene and rubber waffle backing will not shrink or delaminate when cleaned with water. Remove the mat for thorough cleaning if loose-laid.
