Esplanade 8500 Matting - 18mm Closed Construction - Single Wiper

Gradus Esplanade 8500 primary entrance barrier mat is constructed from rubber wipers and aluminium scraper linking strips which are held together with galvanised steel wires.

This option of Esplanade 8500 primary barrier mat is 18mm thick and features a closed construction with single wipers which are available Plain for external use (scraper action only) or interwoven with polyester fibres in a choice of Grey or Black.

The aluminium scraper linking strips are anodised for use in internal environments to help reduce glare/strobing in brightly lit areas and are available in a silver anodised finish for use with grey wipers and black or a choice of bronze finishes for use with either black or grey wipers. The scraper linking strips for use with plain wipers are mill finished aluminium.

The single wiper option offers medium dirt and moisture removal whilst the closed construction allows dirt and moisture to remain on the surface of the mat. This can be removed by regular cleaning in addition to periodic deep cleaning of the mat itself.

Esplanade 8500 when specified correctly is ideal for use in airports, railway stations, supermarkets and sports stadia. (Note: black and bronze anodised finish suitable for medium foot and wheeled traffic areas only).
