Trade Name

SHUTTLE

Patent Number

New Zealand 332003, Australia 766243, Great Britain 2342040.

Production Description

Attractive aluminium/carpet mat in a unique grid formation especially designed to match floor tile modules.

Particular Benefit

37% more clean-off and drying capacity stops more dirt and water than other comparable mat types. Ultra low 10 mm thick design with a proprietary 10 mm matwell system for easy installation.

Area of Application

SHUTTLE is specially designed as an attractive and easily cleaned entrance mat for all intense wear areas: hotels, commercial premises, airports, shopping malls, etc. Plain and powder-coated versions to suit the most prestigious entrance ways.

Performance is best when used indoors or in weather protected areas.

Composition

The SHUTTLE clean-off system is uniquely attractive and functional. It is composed of:

1. The intense wear CORAL BRUSH ACTIV infill with a 5-year guarantee.
2. The heel-proof tile base.
3. The anti-clatter vinyl foot which also links the tiles together with a flexible hinge system.
4. The proprietary 10 mm matwell system.

Dimensions

SHUTTLE mats are all custom-made to client’s specifications. The module size is 101.6 mm and is based on a standard 300 mm ceramic tile plus 5 mm grout line ie: 101.6 mm x 3 = 305 mm. The module size is the same left to right as front to back.

Patterns and Colours

A wide range of infill colours are available. The aluminium can be anodised or powder-coated to the client’s exact specification.

Samples can be viewed and ordered online.

Manufacture

SHUTTLE is manufactured in New Zealand by Advance Flooring Company to their own patented design.

Durability

Extra heavy duty.

UV Resistance

Some fading of infill colours may become apparent in areas of intense sunlight.

Moisture Behaviour

Nil; except to note that as with any entrance mat, performance is reduced when it is wet.

Safety

SHUTTLE has a special design to eliminate heel traps and is anti-slip in all conditions. A mat of sufficient size will minimise slip hazards on subsequent floors. SHUTTLE is paraplegic compliant.

Installation

May be surface mounted using a 10 mm ramp matwell system or recessed in the proprietary 10 mm matwell. Must be over a firm flat surface. For optimum performance, installation in weather protected areas is preferable. An installation data sheet is available and is also included with every order.

Cleaning/Maintenance

The heavy wear carpet infills gather and trap large quantities of dirt and dust. This action makes maintenance of SHUTTLE entrance matting an important regular activity. This regular maintenance will keep SHUTTLE effective and looking attractive for many years.

Daily Maintenance: Vacuum SHUTTLE thoroughly with a powerful vacuum cleaner, preferably with power driven brushes. This agitates the pile to loosen the dirt.

Periodic Maintenance: A routine visual inspection will identify when SHUTTLE needs lifting for more thorough cleaning. SHUTTLE may be rolled back in any direction to make cleaning easy without the need to entirely remove from the matwell. An inspection will also show when the SHUTTLE infills are becoming full of dirt. It can then be cleaned with a water spray extraction method. SHUTTLE can be scrubbed with a machine or by hand.

In cases of staining, household solvents may be used, but must only be applied to a rag and then rubbed onto the mat. Do not pour solvents directly onto the mat as a breakdown of the infill adhesive may result.

Only use chemicals suitable for the cleaning of carpets, following the manufacturers instructions.
SHUTTLE can be refurbished with new infills when required.

Guarantee

SHUTTLE has a 5-year warranty on wear and performance, conditional on correct installation and maintenance according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Detailed fitting, maintenance and cleaning instructions are supplied with each mat and are also available on request.

Pricing

Approximately $1033.00 per square metre. Extra for powder-coating and cutting to shape.
