Technical Statement
Product Description
Superior materials and design make Alumat 10 W the best choice for intense wear entrance matting. Similar to the 10 I, the 10W has wider infills and a heavier duty frame. Made from exterior grade magnesium alloy and anodised it is made to last and stay looking good. Infills, manufactured by Vebe in the Hetherlands, do not shrink back and come in a range of colours. The infills not only absorb moisture from footwear, but are ribbed to assist dirt removal. Solid construction with the entire base rubber lined with no air cavities ensure a 'clatter-free' operation on level surfaces.
An alternative, Alumat10 WD is a variation of this mat with the inclusion of water drain channels.
Scope of use
Suitable for busy commercial entrance ways, including schools, shopping centres, offices etc. Ideally placed inside entrances or sheltered exterior situations to stop water and dirt entering premises, as well as providing an attractive welcome,Non shrinking tight loop polypropylene infills are hard wearing and designed to keep performing. For weather exposed areas where increased water removal is required, see the ALUMAT draining range, Alumat 15D and 15WD

Product Criteria
Design requirements
Alumat AL10 HDW is an ideal choice where a 10mm high profile entrance mat is required in intense wear situation with wider than normal profiles. It can be fitted into a recessed mat well, or be fitted with our unique ramping option. Our ramping is unlike others, coming preinstalled. This means our mitred corners of ramping if required are perfectly aligned and locked in place. There is no need to drill holes to secure the ramps saving unsightly screw fixings, ill fitting joints and holes and plugs to the floor.
