Nomad™ Entrance Matting Systems
Trap, hold and hide everything from dirt, water, moisture and sand – at your door step! 3M™ Nomad™ Matting Systems protect flooring and reduce maintenance costs while helping improve safety and comfort.
How It Works
It's more than just a mat. It's a system.
3M™ Nomad™ Entrance Matting System is designed to stop dirt and moisture at the door, keeping floors throughout your facility clean. It consists of several different types of mats, each doing its specific job to help maintain your building.
3M Scraper Matting installed outside and in your foyer, is your first line of defense scraping dirt and moisture from shoes. Unbacked scraper matting is recommended for outdoor locations to allow dirt to flow through, backed scraper matting keeps debris away from the floor in indoor areas. 3M vinyl backing will not stain flooring when used indoors.
3M offers two kinds of scraper matting – Resilient vinyl looped construction that allows dirt and moisture to fall below the matting surface, keeping shoes clean and dry, and open "z" vinyl construction with peaked edges to provide excellent scraping action for foyers and recessed wells.
3M Carpet Matting is the last line of defense in the 3M Entrance Matting System. Designed for indoor use, this matting removes moisture as well as dirt not removed by the scraper mats. A combination of coarse polypropylene fibres that scrape and hold soil particles from shoes and a fine nylon or polypropylene fibres that help wick away water.
3M Carpet Matting's unique design resists crushing and staining and vacuums clean. The vinyl backing protects floors from dirt and helps reduce mat movement and creep.
