What is active pile technology? Active pile technology in entrance matting combines the design of Rubber profile studs and carpet fibres to restrict the compression of the fibres, thereby ensuring their maximum effectiveness.
As Thousands of feet and traffic pass over an entrance mat, the pile of the material within the mat compresses, over a relatively short period this compression effect significantly reduces the ability of the fibre to operate effectively. By keeping the traffic from compressing the fibres fully using the Rubber profile studs, this allows the fibres to remain upright and open therefore maintaining there effectiveness for the full life span of the matting system. Diamond entrance mat modules are designed to utilize this technology to maximize the life and effectiveness of the products.
Diamond primary entrance matting is a triumph in computer generated, state of the art design and manufacture. Appreciated by purchasers, designers, specifiers and installers of entrance door matting systems for its simplicity, effectiveness and yet offering value for money the Diamond entrance mat system is a real winner all round. The unique characteristic of diamond entrance matting system is in the deployment of a matrix of diamond Rubber studs, carpet pads and round Rubber studs as opposed to alternating ribs commonly found in most commercial entrance matting systems.
This grid form has several distinct advantages over rib systems as it creates a truly multidirectional travel pattern incorporating Active Pile Technology - APT®. The protective scraper carpet pads and studs guard against pile flattening ensuring that contact is made directly with the Nylon fibre tips of the mat for maximum performance and exceptional durability. APT® guarantees 100% surface contact for total interaction with footwear and wheeled trolley traffic giving up to 60% more drying action than typical strip mat designs featuring ribs and voids.
The modular formation promotes even distribution of captured moisture and soil age allowing it to dissipate across the base of the pile. Over 256 protective Rubber diamonds in the carpet pads and 3500 round Rubber studs in every square metre of diamond entrance matting combine with the Zonal barrier carpet to considerably elevate traffic from the pile base thereby reducing the possibility of re-soiling caused when wet feet collect and carry previously captured soil on, into the building.
