General information
We require very precise information in order to minimise the risks when we are installing technical matting. That is why it is important
to fill out the entire order form on page 177.
Before taking any measurements, make sure that the floor area where the matting will be placed is perfectly flat. If not, you will need
to level it.
The plan on the order form on page 177 must be filled in for any STANDARD square or rectangular shaped mat.
For any other shape a template will be required.
- If there is already a matwell with no frame:
• take the
MEASUREMENTS INSIDE THE MATWELL
and
indicate whether a frame will be installed or not. This
information is very important as it helps us to establish
how much room is needed on each side to allow the
mat to be removed and taken out for maintenance.
- If there is already a matwell and the frame is sealed:
• take the
MEASUREMENTS INSIDE THE FRAME.
This
will help us to establish how much room is needed on
each side to allow the mat to be removed and taken
out for maintenance.
- If you wish to order a mat with exact dimensions:
• take the
NET MEASUREMENTS OF THE MAT
, which will be made to the exact measurements given.
•
- If the measurements are too difficult to take or if the shape is NOT STANDARD
• create a
TEMPLATE
and send it to us.

To do this, place a
PVC flooring offcut
over the empty frame, then attach it to the subfloor using an adhesive, like masking tape. Take a cutter and
cut the PVC all the way around the frame using it as a ruler. With a marker pen, mark the traffic direction with an arrow and put lines on the correct
side of the template, as well as the date and name of the company placing the order.
Do not use kraft paper, plastic sheets or light cardboard
as they are too fragile and may be damaged, which can cause errors during the
manufacturing process.
A precise quote will be created when we receive the template (see the quote for special shapes on page 171).
In every case, youmust provide the following information
on the order form:
- Length of the Profiles
L1 and L2
in mm
- Walking Direction
P1 and P2
in mm
- The diagonal measurement
D
in mm, which will enable
us to check, using computer simulation, whether the
other measurements are logical or not before starting
the manufacturing process.
- The direction of the traffic indicated by an
ARROW
.
