C/S Pedisystems^® Zonal Concept

The C/S Group were the originators of the Zonal Concept of entrance flooring systems - a range of colour matched and coordinated systems for the protection of internal floor-coverings throughout the building, offering easy maintenance and excellent appearance retention.

What length (traffic direction) of entrance matting is required?

To comply with BS 7953 a minimum traffic direction of 2.1m would be required, however many experts recognise that 6 metres (or 8 to 10 foot falls) of entrance flooring systems is the optimum walk-off length of matting required to effectively remove dirt and prevent floors becoming dangerously slippery. While 6 metres of entrance flooring sounds expensive, by combining products from two or three zones C/S Pedisystems can be tailored to suit almost any building budget from lavish to the most basic.
