Commercial Entrance Matting in Peterborough — Recessed, Surface & Logo Mat Systems
Cambridgeshire Carpets supplies and fits commercial entrance matting in Peterborough for offices, retail units, leisure facilities, care homes, and public buildings across PE1–PE7 and the wider Cambridgeshire area. The right entrance matting system is one of the most cost-effective investments a commercial property can make — it reduces cleaning costs, prevents slip-and-fall incidents, protects internal flooring, and creates a professional first impression.
Types of Entrance Matting We Supply & Fit
- Recessed entrance matting: Fitted into a matwell cut into the floor at the entrance threshold — the premium solution for new builds, major refurbishments, and any situation where a flush floor finish is required. Products include aluminium ribbed matting, coir inserts, and combination carpet/scraper systems. Brands: Gradus, Birrus, Jaymart.
- Surface-laid entrance matting: Laid directly onto the existing floor surface without a matwell. Faster and less expensive to install — suitable for retrofits and temporary entrance solutions. Available in a range of sizes, colours, and pile depths.
- Logo and branded mats: Custom-printed mats with your company name, logo, or branding — ideal for retail environments and reception areas where brand visibility matters. Available in a range of standard sizes or cut to bespoke dimensions.
- Indoor/outdoor matting systems: For multi-threshold entries or covered external areas — suitable for retail parks, care home entrances, and leisure facilities.
Why Entrance Matting Matters for Peterborough Commercial Properties
- Slip prevention: Wet flooring at building entrances is the primary cause of slip-and-fall incidents in commercial settings. Quality entrance matting with appropriate drainage and scraper action reduces this risk significantly.
- Floor protection: Grit and abrasive particles tracked in from outside cause rapid wear to carpets, LVT, and polished floors. Effective entrance matting traps 80–85% of dirt at the threshold.
- Cleaning cost reduction: Less dirt entering the building means lower cleaning frequency and reduced cleaning product costs — a genuine long-term saving.
- Compliance: Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers have a duty to maintain floors in a condition that minimises slip risk. Correctly specified entrance matting is part of a compliant floor safety strategy.
