Bsc Preferred MAT161RB Entrance Waffle Scraper Mat

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED MAT161RB is a heavy-duty entrance floor mat designed to remove dirt, water, snow, and debris from footwear before it reaches interior flooring. Built with a raised, square waffle-pattern surface, the mat mechanically scrapes shoe soles on contact while the mat body absorbs moisture to keep entryway floors drier. It resists fading under repeated use and dries quickly after cleaning. At a packaged weight of 17.04 pounds, this is a substantial mat suited for high-traffic commercial and industrial entry points. Facility maintenance staff, janitorial contractors, and safety coordinators are the primary installers and end users.

The MAT161RB is intended for use at building entrances, lobbies, vestibules, and transition zones where foot traffic carries in moisture, mud, or debris. It is appropriate for both commercial and light industrial settings. The waffle pattern provides scraping action suitable for work boots, athletic footwear, and general-purpose shoes. This mat is equivalent to part number H-628R, making it a direct replacement option for facilities already using that specification.

Installation Notes

Facility maintenance personnel typically place and position entrance mats without specialized tools. Ensure the mat lies flat on a clean, dry surface to prevent curling or slipping at the edges. Where slip resistance is critical, verify the underside backing is appropriate for the floor substrate and consider anti-creep anchoring tape for high-traffic lanes. Follow facility safety protocols when placing mats on wet or recently cleaned floors.
