INTRAsystems launches moisture-resistant wood effect matting

Get the look of Bamboo Entrance Matting with none of the ongoing maintenance issues!

Commercial entrance matting specialists, INTRAsystems, has unveiled another game-changing product – this time a wood effect matting profile, manufactured entirely from recycled aluminium.

Part of the INTRAform DM Low Profile product range, this new option offers the appearance of real wood, but in a hardwearing aluminium that’s resistant to humidity, mould, and moisture.

Compatible across the firm’s 21 different fibre inserts – all woven from environmentally friendly Econyl (recycled nylon) – the entrance matting slots together using a simple tongue-and-groove based system, making it incredibly fast and easy for flooring contractors to install.

Developed in-house, the new Wood Effect entrance matting is the latest in a line of sustainable, practical, and easy to handle matting solutions designed specifically by INTRAsystems for application in busy commercial environments.

It follows on from the 2022 launch of the brand’s innovative new INTRAlux Ultimate fibre, which, among other performance strengths, has the ability to wick-away up to 3x more moisture from the very first step, regardless of whether a user wipes their feet.

Of the decision to introduce the new Wood Effect finish to its INTRAform DM Low Profile range, INTRAsystems’ Director, James Farrant, says: “Wood is a timeless and sustainable material with distinctive properties and characteristics. From an aesthetics point of view, it looks great, but its porous nature, unfortunately, means it’s highly susceptible to moisture and humidity, which is precisely why it’s not a practical solution for an entrance matting system.”

“The rationale behind the INTRAform DM Low Profile Wood Effect” continues Farrant “was to create a product that convincingly offered the appearance of real wood but in a material that lends itself much better to the demands of busy commercial environments. Given its strength, sustainability, and resistance to moisture, recycled aluminium was the natural choice to work with. Unlike real wood, its integrity isn’t compromised if it gets wet or humid, so it holds its shape perfectly in all weather conditions.”

Ease of installation was another key consideration for the INTRAsystems’ team in developing its recycled aluminium Wood Effect matting. “Working with flooring contractors on a daily basis, we understand how integral it is for a product to be easy and fast to fit on site. We designed INTRAform DM Low Profile so it could be installed by almost anyone. Not only is the tongue and groove-based system incredibly easy to cut – without specialist cutting tools – it’s also simple to shape and lay in the matwell when compared to a more traditional tension rod system.”

INTRAsystems launches next-generation Recycled-PVC Entrance Matting

INTRAsystems has broken ground again with the launch of a brand-new modular entrance matting product.  INTRAlink2 (pronounced ‘squared’) is a high-performance interlocking tile product made entirely from recycled PVC with outstanding eco credentials.

As commercial entrance matting specialists, INTRAsystems constantly seeks to deliver products that meet customers’ evolving requirements, pioneering material developments and product formats. This month, the company unveils its new modular tile system that’s effortless to install and offers market-leading sustainability credentials without compromising performance.

Matting that doesn’t cost the earth

Designed by the INTRA product development team, and manufactured in the UK, INTRAlink2 represents a game changer in the world of commercial entrance matting where environmental concerns and moisture absorption are key factors to the specification. The team has taken all the benefits of the traditional PVC tile and elevated the product to a whole new level by building with cost-efficiency, sustainability and market-leading performance in mind.

Unrivalled sustainability

Although falling within the company’s value range, INTRAlink2 is mindfully designed to produce as low a carbon footprint as possible, helping customers to achieve their own sustainability targets.

Designed and manufactured in Britain, INTRAlink2 offers a 100% eco-friendly specification when selected with INTRAlux Ultimate fibre inserts and the optional PVC-free backing option – PureBase.  In addition, the full range of compatible fibre insert options is manufactured from 100% Econyl.

Performance Innovation

But sustainability wasn’t the only driving factor INTRAsystems took on board when designing INTRAlink2. Having occupied the commercial entrance matting space for 35 years, the team has acquired a wealth of customer feedback, all of which influenced the technical development of the product.

One of the most important of these was performance.

Many of INTRAsystems’ products are installed in busy commercial environments such as shopping centres and transport hubs, where daily footfall is in the thousands. While not such an issue in summer, on wet, rainy days this amount of multi-directional traffic poses a huge problem for dirt and moisture transference.

Thus, along with its leading sustainability credentials, INTRAlink2 also boasts some of the best dirt scraping and moisture wicking of any modular tile system, offering up to 95% fibre coverage per tile – ideal for use in busy commercial settings where traffic hails from all angles.

As INTRAsystems’ Director James Farrant, explains:

“Commercial entrance mats exist, primarily, to serve a practical purpose – which is to prevent dirt and moisture transferring into the building. Yes, entrance mats should add aesthetic value, but their main purpose is to trap water and dirt at the door, preventing slips and trip hazards.

We know this is a big issue in commercial settings such as supermarkets, schools and public buildings, where large volumes of pedestrian traffic cross in many different directions. That’s why we developed INTRAlink2; to offer a more robust and effective product that could meet this challenge far better than other budget options on the market.”

INTRASYSTEMS LAUNCHES SUPERFAST MOISTURE-ABSORBING MATTING FIBRE

Innovative material technology that absorbs water three times faster than standard entrance matting fibre and comes with a PVC-free backing option are just two exciting features defining INTRAsystems’ brand-new fibre insert collection.

Perfect for statement entrancesArchitects and designers want to reduce the risk of slips and keep statement lobbies, foyers and concourses looking pristine; ensuring dirt and water doesn’t track through into the building on wet, rainy days (around 170 days per year on average in the UK!)

INTRAsystems’ new Ultimate fibre is the perfect choice where this is a priority. The quick-acting fibre comes in a full suite of colour options and offers a PVC-free option for projects where environmental credentials are high on the specification agenda.

Stunning new range of entrance fibre options

With the launch of INTRAlux Ultimate, INTRA took the opportunity to improve and expand its entire fibre collection, with three completely new fibres to give clients a well-rounded solution for every entrance mat requirement.

Hitting commercial wear classifications 32-33, each insert option has been mindfully designed to tick every box and overcome the common challenges faced in commercial entrance environments.

Colour & Style

Ultimate_Colour rangeAs INTRAsystems entrance matting advocates have come to expect, design style has been fully factored into the new range, alongside a choice of functional variations. Customer response to the breadth of choice has been extremely positive.

Like Elite, Ultimate features a considered and contemporary colour palette and takes its influence from shades found in nature. Clients have nine unique colours to choose from, including warming tones of Sandstone and Terracotta, and earthy hues of Truffle and Forest Green. There’s also a choice of three greys, ranging from a brown-based Anthracite to the lighter green hints of Lichen, while Night Sky and Ruby introduce black and red colour profiles, respectively.

INTRAlux Ultimate: our fastest absorbing and most sustainable entrance fibre

Ultimate is the go-to fibre choice for market-leading performance across the board – designed to meet the most demanding specifications. Stylish hard flooring, like terrazzo, maintains its appearance all day with the best inset entrance matting in place to protect it.

Campaign graphicThe ability to draw moisture off 3 times quicker than other fibres, makes this INTRAsystems’ most technically innovative entrance matting yet, providing an unbeatable rate of moisture absorption to significantly reduce surface water accumulation.

Moisture-combatting ability is coupled with high, Bfl-s1 fire resistance and robust scraping action.  But the benefits don’t stop there.  The team is rightly proud of the fibre’s impressive sustainability credentials too.

Each colour in the range is woven from 100% Econyl regenerated nylon yarn, as you would expect from a high-performance fibre. What’s new and unique however is INTRAsystems’ new PureBase option. This is a PVC-free backing, thus completely avoiding the use of environmentally harmful softeners and plasticizers and with a significantly lower environmental impact, from manufacture through to end-of-life disposal.

Together, this results in an entrance matting solution that’s 100% sustainable; a key commercial focus as businesses seek to reduce their carbon footprint, adhere to stricter building regulations, and take a proactive role in the fight against climate change.
