When you combine any Forbo interior flooring product with our Coral or Nuway entrance matting, as part of the same project, your product guarantee will be extended by an impressive 50%.

For example, a standard Marmoleum guarantee will increase from 10 years to 15 years.

Coral and Nuway remove up to 95% of dirt and moisture from entering a building, helping interior products stay safer, cleaner, and looking good for longer - meaning fewer replacements over time and contributing to a positive environmental impact.

Double sided

All Nuway Tuftiguard mats are double sided, which means that throughout their lifecycle and as part of a regular cleaning regime, they can be removed from their matwell and turned over. Nuway Tuftiguard products are constructed using high tensile steel linkages which provide them with outstanding construction integrity and means they are suitable for high footfall environments.
By essentially getting two mats for the price of one, it's easy to see how when cleaned correctly, Nuway Tuftiguard mats can still look as good as new after 10-15 years of use.

Single sided

Nuway Grip, Connect and Connect Plus variations are all, single sided mats that can withstand medium levels of footfall and offer different design and performance characteristics to out double-sided alternatives.
By being single sided, they do not contain steel linkages which means they can be shaped on-site, and unique design options can be achieved, such as Chevron. Our single sided mats all receive a standard guarantee of 7-years, which increases to 10 years when installed by one of our FESSI contactors.

Why is entrance matting important for your building?

Safety
Slips and trips are the most common accidents that happen in commercial buildings. Contaminated floors are the places where more people are likely to slip. With entrance flooring in place to gather up that dirt and moisture, this will reduce the risk of slips to all visitors.

Cleanliness
Entrance matting is one of the easiest and most effective ways to control the spread of dirt, dust and moisture to prevent them from getting into interior spaces. Not only does this keep premises clean, but it also protects floors from wear and tear that is caused by dirt and debris.

Making a first impressions
While we have focused on the safety of entrance matting, it’s important to remember that entrance matting is also the first impression of a building for many visitors. With a variety of styles, colours and materials available to purchase, it can be tailored to the decor of your building to help make an incredible first impression.
