Technical Statement
Product Description
MODUL is an attractive, new modular entrance mat, designed and manufactured in New Zealand.
Interlocking tiles are made from high density PVC, with special fire retardant European manufactured rigid polypropylene infills. The design incorporates multiple water drain channels, which effectively divert water away from the surface to prevent recontamination of footwear, so interiors stay clean, dry and safe. Rigid infills and scraper bars remove dirt form foot traffic.
Modular tiles are 500mm x 250mm x 10mm. This extra low profile enables flush fitting with most modern floor coverings without the need for creating a set-down. If there is no set down, Modul can be supplied with low rise ramping on one or more sides
The flooring is 'closed' construction, which does not permit soiling of the underside of the mat, so no uplifting is required for cleaning.
Rigid PVC tile base moulds to floor surfaces. Installation is easy and cutting perimeter modules to size can be carried out on site.
Scope of use
MODUL can be used anywhere inside at points of entry, from the smallest of entries such as shops, offices etc., through to the largest, eg. shopping malls, airports and Universities.
