Matwell Frame for Entrance Matting | Pre-Drilled | 3 Sizes | Silver Chrome & Gold Brass
Matwell Frame for Entrance Matting | Polished Finish | Pre-Drilled | 3 Sizes | Silver or Brass A professional-grade matwell frame is the difference between an entrance mat that looks installed and one that looks like it was dropped on the floor. This precision-engineered aluminium frame creates a fully recessed matwell installation — the mat sits flush with the surrounding floor surface, with a clean polished border that completes the look and protects the mat edge from lifting, curling, or becoming a trip hazard. Compatible with all 17mm thick entrance matting — including natural coir matting and polypropylene barrier matting. Available in two classic commercial finishes: Silver Chrome and Gold Brass. Why a Matwell Frame Is Essential — Not Optional An entrance mat without a matwell frame in a commercial or high-traffic environment creates several problems that a frame solves immediately: Trip hazard — even a 17mm mat edge is a stubbed toe or a falling claim waiting to happen. A flush-fitted frame eliminates the lip entirely Mat migration — unframed mats shift under heavy foot traffic. A matwell frame fixes the mat position permanently Edge protection — the 42mm frame border protects the mat's cut edge from fraying and delamination, extending service life significantly Professional appearance — the polished finish creates a deliberate, designed look rather than a temporary mat placement Cleaning efficiency — a framed mat can be lifted out for cleaning and replaced precisely, with no re-positioning required Product Specifications Material Aluminium with polished finish Frame Depth 17mm (fits all standard 17mm entrance mats) Frame Width 42mm Finish Options Silver / Chrome Effect | Gold / Brass Effect Sections 4 mitred sections (supplied ready to assemble) Pre-drilled Yes — all fixing holes pre-drilled for easy installation Measurements Inside (mat opening) dimensions Suitability Domestic & Contract | Indoor use Compatible Matting All 17mm thick entrance mats — coir and polypropylene barrier Available Sizes Size Inside (metric) Inside (imperial) Typical use Small 0.61m × 0.36m 24″ × 14″ Single residential doorway, side entrance Medium 0.69m × 0.41m 27″ × 16″ Standard front door, small commercial entrance Large 0.76m × 0.46m 30″ × 18″ Wide residential entrance, small lobby doorway Note: All measurements are the inside (mat opening) dimensions. Allow for the 42mm frame border when cutting your floor recess. Finish Guide Silver Chrome — highly polished silver chrome effect. The most widely specified finish for modern commercial premises, offices, hotels, and contemporary residential properties. Pairs with all mat colours but particularly striking with anthracite barrier matting. Gold Brass — polished gold brass effect. The traditional choice for period properties, hotels with classic interiors, upmarket residential entrances, and anywhere a warmer metallic tone complements the décor. Installation Cut a recess into your floor to the outside dimensions of the frame (inside mat dimension + 84mm each direction to account for the 42mm border on each side). Set the 4 pre-drilled mitred frame sections into the recess and secure using appropriate fixings for your floor type. Drop your 17mm entrance mat into the frame opening. The mat surface will sit flush with the surrounding floor. No adhesive required for the mat — the frame holds it in position. The pre-drilled fixing holes make installation straightforward for a competent DIYer or any flooring contractor. All 4 sections are supplied cut and mitred — no cutting or mitreing required on-site.
