A truly professional entryway needs to not just be focused on aesthetics, but also on visitor safety and floor protection. Our Scraper Plus Mats range is engineered to safeguard heavy-traffic environments through advanced dirt and moisture control.
From daily debris containment to demanding weather conditions, these high-performance entrance mat systems help facilities maintain clean, dry interiors, and reduce slip risks.
What is a scraper mat?
Scraper mats are a type of heavy-duty entrance mat engineered for the primary purpose of dislodging coarse debris, heavy dirt, mud, snow, and slush from footwear before it enters a building. Positioned at the outermost threshold of an entryway, they feature aggressive textures, stiff rubber fingers, or open-weave patterns designed to physically scrape the soles of shoes. They are often positioned just outside or inside the main entrance door.
Superior performance where it matters
Our Scraper Plus Mats deliver tailored performance across demanding sectors. In commercial kitchens and hospitality, their nitrile rubber naturally resists organic greases and animal fats while clearing food debris. Healthcare and educational facilities benefit from a high-integrity surface that easily handles heavy foot traffic and wheeled equipment, such as hospital carts. Meanwhile, industrial and manufacturing plants rely on their chemical durability and weather resilience to dislodge heavy grit and sludge without warping.
Unlike other entrance mats such as dust control mats that rely on carpeting or vinyl, the Scraper Plus range is engineered specifically as a frontline barrier. Its multi-directional texture channels heavy debris below shoe level to keep the surface clear. At the same time, high-grade nitrile rubber prevents cracking, curling, and oil-induced degradation.
Maximising safety & slip resistance
Entryways are high-risk transition zones where outdoor elements create immediate slip hazards on smooth interior flooring. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), slips, trips, and falls account for approximately 30% of all reported non-fatal workplace injuries in the UK, making them the single most common cause of workplace accidents. Our Scraper Plus Mats mitigate this risk directly.
Designed to dislodge heavy moisture and coarse debris, these systems prevent water and contaminants from migrating onto interior walkways. Furthermore, their stable rubber backing ensures the mat stays firmly anchored in place, eliminating dangerous bunching or shifting that can introduce new trip hazards.
Practical & economical advantages
Investing in a scraper entrance mat delivers measurable savings. Beyond accident prevention, Scraper Plus Mats drastically reduce daily interior maintenance overheads. By capturing incoming dirt, grit, and moisture right at the door, they minimise physical wear and tear on expensive interior carpets and hard floors. This reduces the frequency of intensive cleaning schedules, lowers chemical usage, and significantly extends the overall lifespan of internal flooring investments. Ultimately, a clean, well-maintained entryway provides visitors with a polished first impression from the moment they step inside.
Got a question?
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about our high-performance Scraper Plus entrance mats.
Scraper mats are heavy-duty entrance mats designed as a barrier to dislodge coarse debris, mud, snow, and heavy moisture from footwear before it enters a building. They are typically positioned at exterior entryways or deep vestibules to catch heavy dirt before it reaches interior floors.
Scraper mats are heavy-duty, can be placed outdoors, and feature tough textures or open structures designed to dislodge coarse dirt, mud, and heavy debris from footwear. In contrast, dust control mats are interior mats made of soft, highly absorbent carpet fibres specifically engineered to capture fine dust, moisture, and liquid.
A scraper mat is essential if your business experiences high foot traffic, severe weather conditions, or operates in sectors like manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, or retail where mud, grit, and moisture are frequently tracked inside.
Choose a mat that features independent slip resistance accreditations, such as National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) High-Traction certification. That way, you have peace of mind that the surface has been rigorously tested and proven to minimise wet-slip and fall risks in real commercial conditions.
