MEASURING
For optimal functionality and durability, it's important to take precise measurements and have your mat fitted properly. We use a digital measuring device to guarantee accuracy.
For an accurate measurement of your project, one of our specialists will visit you onsite.
The measured data is digitally processed in AutoCAD, in which the data is optimized for production.
Measurement information and requirements
Information to be submitted in advance:
- Your name, address and phone number
- Type of mat, desired insert, color code(s) and accessories (ramp profile, etc.)
- Drawing or photo of the entrance to be measured
- Desired delivery date
- Important remarks/instructions (optional)
Requirements:
- The framework of the well must be completely installed
- Skirting boards, tiles and/or wall mounted heating must be installed before measurement takes place
- To qualify for our warranty, the surface of the well or recess must be flat and smooth
- The information of the depth of the well given in advance must be accurate
- The entrance must be free of construction materials, waste or anything else that can hinder the measuring process
- Scaffolding must be moved in advance
We reserve the right to return to our head office in Almelo and to charge for travel and time, if the well is not completely ready upon our arrival.
If well dimensions have been adjusted afterwards and we need to change the mat during installation, ABI will charge for extra hours worked.
If the entrance cannot be properly measured or molded without the interference of (a lot of) traffic, please let us know, and we'll make an appointment outside working hours.
A level and smooth well surface is required for placement of the well.
Well preparation can be carried out by ABI or a local contractor.
ABI recommends having the mat installed by one of our experts, but it's possible to install the mat yourself.
More information about installation
Please follow these steps for entrance mat installation:
In a recessed well:
- The surface of the well must be level and smooth
- The inside of the mat well must be clean and dry
- The entrance mat is rolled up when delivered. Carefully remove the protection without damaging the mat.
- Roll the mat carefully out within the well. A fixed connection to the surface of the well is not necessary.
On floor or pavement:
- The surface of the well must be level and smooth
- The surface must be clean and dry
- The entrance mat is rolled up when delivered. Carefully remove the protection without damaging the mat.
- If there's a sloping profile attached, indicates this the 'beginning' of the mat. The other side has a U profile and must be placed against the threshold.
- Roll out the entrance mat
With sloping profiles around the mat:
- The surface of the well must be level and smooth
- The surface must be clean and dry
- Attach the sloping profiles to the surface. This creates a well.
