According to 3M, in addition to providing public access that looks consistently smart and welcoming, entrance matting should be effective in removing and trapping dirt and moisture, be of adequate length to maximise the number of footfalls, and be easy to clean. Specifiers should also ensure that, now that Part 3 of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) is in force, entrance matting complies with Government legislation.
All service providers whose premises have public
access must take steps to ensure that permanently or temporarily disabled people can enter, use and exit the building
easily and safely without risk of slipping.
