BIRRUS MATTING SYSTEMS
BIRRUS UltraMat
The BIRRUS ‘ULTRAMAT’ is our Flagship product and offers a quality finish for your building entrance which will complement the visual impact of any building.
Birrus Ultramat is constructed from alternate treads of aluminium and carpet running across the doorway. It is ideal for interior or exterior applications. The carpet treads are securely held within extruded aluminium retaining sections which are lightly furrowed on the exposed surface to produce a non-skid surface.
Available in a range of more than 25 colours, the Birrus UltraMat system is an excellent way to personalise the entry of your building. Click on COLOURS to see the range available.
ULTRAMAT is available in 10mm Open Construction ‘Slimline’ (above right), and in 10mm & 16mm Closed Construction (above left). For the ‘Slimline’ mats an Open Construction aluminium extrusion system is linked with a perforated joining strip to allow for drainage. They are best suited to exterior applications where provisions have been made for drainage in the matwell. CLICK for a copy of our UltraMat brochure.
Anodising of the aluminium sections in ‘Precious Gold’, ‘Antique Bronze’ and ‘Midnight Black’ can be arranged. CLICK for a copy of our Grand Entrance brochure.
Note: Anodising is a coating which will, in time, wear with surface contact. Refer to specification form for more details.
Slip resistance is a very important part of product selection, particularly in an area which could be exposed to rain water and wet shoes. To aid in this selection Birrus has had their range of products wet slip tested by a NATA accredited test company. Contact us to receive a copy of the certificates.
Installation
Birrus Matting Systems require and internal recess depth of 12mm or 20mm. Standard Birrus matwell frames are fabricated using aluminium alloy, brass and stainless steel angle for compatibility with our mats.
Place framing in the recess, and set angles level with adjoining floor surfaces. Grout in or screw fix as required. Contractors are advised, to ensure proper performance of the entire assembly it is absolutely necessary that base of matwell is formed to a level plane.
