Product Criteria

Design requirements

Alumat AL10 W  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.
