Entrance flooring

Stop dirt in its tracks

We have been the world leader in textile entrance flooring for over 50 years, so there is nothing we don’t know about stopping dirt and moisture coming into your building.

Leave dirt at the door

We have been the world leader in textile entrance flooring for over 50 years, so there is nothing we don’t know about stopping dirt and moisture coming into your building. First impressions count. When people enter your building they should like what they see. But you also have the practical pressure of keeping your building floors clean and keeping your visitors safe. Our Coral and Nuway entrance flooring systems do all of this, and more.

Every entrance has its own demand since it depends whether you are in a main street office area or are a primary school. Our entrance flooring collection consists of many different collections each of them with their own focus area like dirt scraping or moisture take up. Besides functionality you can also choose different installation options: sheet, tiles and mats. Last but not least the choice for the environment can help you take the final decision. We have several products with regenerated yarns. Whatever collection you choose, you know you have the best quality with the best functionality.

Protect your building

There is a lot of time and money spent on the visual appearance of a building. Architects and interior designers connect the atmosphere of a building to its users and visitors. It is often forgotten that this design can only be retained when the floor stays clean and undamaged.

A well designed and innovative entrance flooring system will:
• reduce the risk of slip injuries
• prolong the life of the interior floor finish
• reduce the cost of on-going maintenance
• make the entrance look good and inviting
• contribute to an environmentally friendly building due to less use of cleaning
• detergents for maintenance of the following floor

Don’t let dirt and moisture ruin your building design

4R principle

The Coral collections are designed with our own yarn system that helps to scrape off dirt and absorb moisture, but also ensuring that the entrance floor will still look good after years of use.

We use the 4R principle for our products:

• Removes soiling
• Retains soiling
• Releases soiling
• Recovers as new after cleaning

Choose the right entrance system for your building

A functional entrance flooring system is chosen based on the location of the building (determines type of dirt), the amount of footfall (how many people walk over it), the type of people that go over the mat (e.g. business people or school children) and the type of entrance in the building (large, small, inside, outside).

We have defined 3 entrance zones:
1. External primary matting
2. Internal primary matting
3. Circulation zone matting

Forbo's entrance systems can stop up to 95% of dirt and moisture walked into a building

Wipe off feet & wheeled traffic in 6 meters

Forbo's entrance flooring systems can take up to 95% of all dirt and moisture when placing the ideal entrance flooring system of 6 meter. These 6 meter can already start outside and can go all the way to the reception area. Just a mat behind the door will not do the trick. People will not stop to wipe their feet so while moving the mat should do its work.

The infographic on the right shows the percentages of moisture and dirt retained in each entrance zone.
