Bsc Preferred MAT176RB Entrance Floor Mat Waffle Pattern

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED MAT176RB is a heavy-duty entrance floor mat designed to scrape shoes clean of dirt, water, and debris at high-traffic entry points. Its raised, square waffle pattern provides aggressive surface contact to dislodge material from boot and shoe soles before it reaches interior floors. The mat absorbs water, snow, and ice melt, helping keep adjacent floor surfaces drier and reducing slip hazards. At 82.8 pounds, this is a large-format mat suited for commercial and industrial entryways where a lightweight runner would not hold up. Facility maintenance professionals and safety coordinators typically specify this product for lobbies, loading docks, and building entries.

This mat is appropriate for commercial facilities, industrial plants, warehouses, and institutional buildings that see heavy foot traffic. It is well suited to entryways exposed to seasonal wet and muddy conditions. The waffle surface pattern works on both hard and soft sole footwear. Maintenance is straightforward: the mat can be vacuumed, hosed off, steam cleaned, or shampooed, making it practical for facilities with routine cleaning schedules. It resists fading under normal use and dries quickly after cleaning or heavy moisture exposure.

Installation Notes

Placement and positioning of large entrance mats is typically handled by facility maintenance staff. Ensure the subfloor surface is clean, dry, and flat before placing the mat to prevent curling or shifting. For mats located in egress paths, verify compliance with applicable local building and fire codes regarding mat thickness and trip-hazard clearances. Due to the mat weight of 82.8 pounds, two-person handling is recommended during installation and repositioning.
