Aluminium Entrance Matting Systems were required for two doorway entrances of busy gyms that endured high levels of foot traffic, on behalf of Anytime Fitness, Torsion Building Services approached their chosen distributor, DMS in Collingdale requesting advice for this project.

DMS recommended Luke Boorer of Genesis to the contractor, he guided the client through multiple product solutions along with the process from the templating service, right the way through to installation. With a strict time constraint of job completion required before Christmas, Luke advised that the quickest solution was the newly introduced interlocking aluminium Entrance Matting product – Trakmat Stockholm. Luke calculated the required quantity of materials and advised on how to install the entrance matting, plus quoting the suitable ramp profiles which resulted in something both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Further advice was necessary regarding the installation process, as one of the mats was over two meters wide, exceeding the channel length for this product, the recommendation was to install the mat in three sections with an even split either side, using Genesis trim to create the mat areas.

The installation process has been described as very easy, the interlocking entrance matting system was straight forward to install and did not require for any joints to be forced together. “We simply used a jigsaw for the small cuts and a chop saw to cut the sides down. This was also added by the expert advice that Luke gave us”.

All of the materials were delivered to site within a few days of ordering facilitating installation to meet this project deadline.

“The project has been a wonderful success from Luke offering us all the information that we needed, right up to the installation process. The managers of the branches are delighted with the outcomes and things could not have gone any smoother”
