Trade Name

STARTREAD

Production Description

Attractive aluminium/polypropylene strip mat with long life infills.

Particular Benefit

Aluminium strip mat with hard wearing coir-like infills; the timeless look and effectiveness of coir

Area of Application

STARTREAD is specially designed as an attractive and easily cleaned entrance mat for all intense wear areas: hotels, shops, offices, showrooms and all commercial areas, also residential.
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 STARTREAD clean-off system is uniquely attractive and functional. It is composed of:

1. The clean-off infill of intense wear AZO SUPERSCRAPER entrance matting.
2. The heel-proof fully interlocking aluminium base which eliminates dirt drop-through by specially designed dirt collection rails. This makes cleaning quick and easy.
3. The anti-clatter moulded continuous rubber feet.

Dimensions

STARTREAD mats are all custom-made to client’s specifications. Any shape can be made without losing structural integrity and larger mats are made in fully interlocking sections for easy on site assembly.
Thickness: 15 mm

Patterns & Colours

Natural Cocos and Black.
The aluminium can be anodised or powder-coated to the client’s exact specifications.
Samples can be viewed and ordered online.

Manufacture

STARTREAD is manufactured in New Zealand by Advance Flooring company to their own 
copyright design.

Durability

Heavy-duty.

UV Resistance

The AZO SUPERSCAPER infills are UV stabilised, however some fading may be 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

STARTREAD 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.

Installation

May be surface mounted using a 15mm ramp matwell system or recessed in the proprietary 15mm matwell. Must be over a firm flat surface. For optimum performance, installation in weather protected areas is preferable.

Cleaning/Maintenance

STARTREAD does not have to be removed for cleaning as dirt cannot drop through. Specially designed corrugated rails gather dirt for simple cleaning. The AZO infills also gather and trap dirt and dust. This action makes maintenance of STARTREAD an important regular activity. This regular maintenance will keep STARTREAD effective and attractive.

Daily Maintenance: Daily vacuum STARTREAD thoroughly with a powerful vacuum cleaner, preferably with power driven brushes, working lengthwise along the infills. This agitates the pile to loosen and lift the dirt.

Periodic Maintenance: A routine visual inspection will identify when STARTREAD is becoming full of dirt. It can then be cleaned with a water spray extraction method. STARTREAD can be scrubbed with a machine or by hand along the direction of the infills only.

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

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

Guarantee

STARTREAD has a limited 5-year warranty on wear, 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 $531.00 per square metre. Extra for powder-coating and cutting to shape.
