Tyreguard Matting - 18mm Open Construction - Single Wiper

Gradus Tyreguard primary barrier matting is an ideal choice where the use of recycled materials is a key consideration.

Tyreguard is manufactured from aluminium scrapers and 100% recycled rubber wipers, held together with galvanised steel wires. Entirely manufactured from used aeroplane tyres, the grey wipers consist of alternate layers of textile and rubber.

This option of Tyreguard is 18mm thick and features single wipers in an open construction. The single wipers offer medium dirt and moisture removal whilst the open construction incorporates spaces which allow dirt and debris to fall through the mat into the matwell below. The mat can be lifted intermittently to remove the dirt as well as for deep cleaning the mat itself.

Tyreguard is suitable for use in applications subject to heavy pedestrian and wheeled traffic e.g. supermarkets, sports stadiums, railway stations and airports. It has been tested to withstand a weight of 150kg per wheel (600kg over 4 wheels) to a minimum of 30,000 passes. It has also been tested for slip-resistance (HSL ramp test) and achieves a low risk of slip.

When installed as a true rectangle or square, Tyreguard can be reversed to extend the life of the product. It can also be manufactured to most shapes subject to approval of a template.

For a complete barrier matting system, Tyreguard can be used in conjunction with the Boulevard range of secondary barrier matting.

Tyreguard has a 10 year warranty (subject to terms and conditions) and is available on the Gradus 5 day manufacturing service.

Note: Wipers are made from 100% recyled material from aeroplane tyres, of which a least 50% is vulcanised rubber with the remainder being textile material. Due to the recycled content of Tyreguard there will be natural inconsistencies in the pile height and in the width and shading of the wipers. Some of these variations should become less apparent once the product has been installed for a period of time.
