Entrance Matting in Peterborough & Cambridgeshire
Protect Your Floors. Impress Your Visitors.
At Cambridgeshire Carpets, we supply and install professional entrance matting solutions for businesses and commercial properties across Peterborough and the wider Cambridgeshire region. Often overlooked, entrance matting is one of the most practical and cost-effective flooring investments any business can make — protecting expensive flooring, reducing cleaning costs, improving safety, and making a strong first impression on every visitor.
Types of Entrance Matting We Supply and Fit
We offer a range of entrance matting systems to suit every type of commercial premises:
- Barrier Matting: The most common type, designed to trap moisture and dirt from shoes before it enters the building. Available in a variety of colours and finishes to complement your reception area or entrance hall.
- Scraper Matting: Features a rigid, textured surface to remove heavy debris and mud from footwear — ideal for industrial environments, schools, and external entrance areas.
- Brush Matting: Combines scraping and wiping action for maximum dirt removal. Perfect for high-footfall entrances where performance is the priority.
- Coir Matting: A natural, traditional option made from coconut fibre — effective for scraping and a popular choice for retail and period properties.
- Recessed Mat Wells: For a seamless, flush-to-floor finish, we can install matting directly into a recessed well cut into the entrance floor — creating a professional, built-in look and a trip-hazard-free surface.
Why Entrance Matting Matters for Your Business
The benefits of professional entrance matting extend well beyond keeping the floors clean:
- Floor Protection: Grit and moisture tracked in on footwear are among the leading causes of floor damage. Effective entrance matting dramatically reduces wear on your flooring investment.
- Safety Compliance: Wet, slippery entrances are a common cause of slip-and-fall accidents. Quality matting with effective moisture absorption reduces this risk and supports your duty-of-care obligations.
- Reduced Cleaning Costs: Studies show that up to 80% of dirt entering a building is carried in on footwear. Effective entrance matting keeps that dirt at the door, reducing the time and cost of interior cleaning.
- Professional Appearance: A quality mat fitted neatly to your entrance communicates attention to detail and professionalism to every client, customer, or visitor who walks through your door.
