Entrance Matting at Manchester Metropolitan University

Combining the former Mayble Tylecoate and Grosvenor buildings, MMU’s new Arts and Humanities hub uses INTRAflex XT entrance matting for a classic aesthetic.

With the listed portico and the internal glass vestibule providing some shelter from the elements, the architect specified a primary entrance matting system with INTRAlux Elite fibre inserts in Anthracite 607.

This fibre has an exceptional tuft count to provide 5.4l/m² of absorption, combined with the highest Class 33 Wear Rating.

To enhance performance with this simple primary entrance matting system, the specification provides a substantial walk-off area.

With 19,550mm wide entrance matting, entry through the main portico doors offers nearly 10,000mm of walk-off in either direction.

While the adjacent pass doors are protected by entrance matting that measures 3629mm front-to-back.
