Entrance Flooring “Zones”
 
When planning your entrance system it is useful to consider the entrance area in terms of zones:
 
 
External primary matting
Outside the building entrance, primary matting is the first line of defence against footborne soil, scraping the coarsest dirt from the soles of shoes before they cross the threshold.  
 
Internal primary matting
Immediately beyond the primary matting secondary matting is often required to remove footborne mosiure and finer particles of soil.  
 
Internal secondary matting
Flooring leading away from the entrance area – in the reception, corridors etc – must be specifically designed to withstand heavy traffic and intensive cleaning regimes. They will be prone to residual soiling and will inevitably require a high level of cleaning to maintain performance and appearance.
