Download Data Sheet

Stopping dirt at the door has never been so important. Frontrunner Entry helps to solve heightened hygiene concerns by preventing unwanted debris from being walked or wheeled inside businesses and workplaces.

The entrance matting’s aggressive tread pattern scrapes shoes and wheels clean, while the open grid traps and collects dirt and debris. This unique ‘scrape and clean’ system helps maintain interiors for longer, reducing cleaning costs. This makes Frontrunner Entry the ideal commercial entrance mat for any environment with high traffic entrances or walkways.

Whether you're after a surface-mounted or recessed entry mat, Frontrunner Entry is purpose designed to fit seamlessly with all well depths and contours effortlessly to the subfloor. If you’re looking for loose lay entrance matting to place directly over an existing surface, you can also order modules with ramped PVC edges.

Seamless integration

Choose from modules with ramped PVC edging, rolls in standard widths and 10m lengths, or order a custom size

Simple installation

One-piece construction means the entrance matting can be cut to size on site, with no previous site visits needed

Easy to maintain

Simply roll or lift to clean, no special tools needed
