Here are answers to some of the questions we are most often asked about our matting systems, products and installation services.

How do I choose the right entrance matting system for my project?


The right entrance matting system depends on the level and type of footfall, entrance design, available mat well depth, internal or external location, wheeled traffic and the amount of moisture and debris entering the building. Excel Matting can help assess your project and recommend a suitable system based on the entrance and expected performance.

Can you help architects, designers and contractors with entrance matting specification?


Yes. Excel Matting provides specification support for architects, designers and contractors, including product selection, technical information, mat well depths, installation options and supporting product data. We can assist from the early design stage through to supply and installation.

What depth does a mat well need to be and can entrance matting be installed without one?


Mat well depth depends on the entrance matting system selected. Excel Matting offers systems for a range of mat well depths, together with surface mounted options for entrances where a mat well is not available. We can help identify the most suitable system from your available floor depth and entrance design.

Do you provide made to measure entrance matting for new build and refurbishment projects?


Yes. Excel Matting supplies made to measure entrance matting for both new build and refurbishment projects. Systems can be sized to suit individual entrances and mat wells, with suitable options also available for surface mounted installations. We can support the project from specification and measurement through to supply and installation.

What entrance matting is suitable for heavy footfall and wheeled traffic?


For busy commercial entrances, the matting system should be selected according to expected footfall, wheeled traffic, entrance design and environmental conditions. Excel Matting offers heavy duty entrance systems designed for demanding commercial applications, including options suitable for pedestrian and wheeled traffic. We can recommend the appropriate system for your project.

What is the difference between aluminium, PVC, open surface and closed surface entrance matting?


Aluminium entrance matting provides a robust solution for demanding commercial entrances, while PVC systems offer flexible and versatile options for a wide range of applications. Open surface systems allow moisture and debris to fall through the matting, while closed surface systems retain it on the surface for removal during cleaning. The best option depends on the entrance design, footfall and maintenance needs.

Are your entrance matting systems slip resistant and fire tested?


Many Excel Matting systems have independently tested slip resistance and fire performance, with certification varying by product. Technical data is available for individual systems to support product selection and specification. Contact Excel Matting if you need test information or certification for a particular project.

Do you offer environmentally responsible entrance matting options?


Yes. Excel Matting offers entrance matting systems with environmental credentials including recyclable materials, recycled content and ECONYL® regenerated nylon inserts on selected products. Some systems also have supporting BREEAM® documentation. We can provide the relevant environmental and technical information for the system being specified.

Do you supply and install commercial entrance matting throughout the UK?


Yes. Excel Matting supplies commercial entrance matting throughout the UK and provides installation services for projects where required. We can support architects, contractors and end users from product selection and specification through to final installation.

How do I get a quotation?
