Nuway Tuftiguard

Nuway tuftiguard

Nuway tuftiguard has the durability, strength and structural integrity to deliver excellent performance and appearance retention in very heavy traffic locations

Each tuftiguard mat is assembled using aluminium (100% recycled), brass or PVC scraper bars, and buffed or unbuffed prime rubber and polyamide fibre composite wiper strips. The wiper strips and scraper bars are assembled in an open or closed construction with high tensile electro galvanised steel wire linkages running through the components to give the mat its structural integrity and superior load bearing capacity.

Nuway Tuftiguard

At the heart of the Nuway range, Tuftiguard is our original and best selling entrance mat. It has the durability, strength and structural integrity to deliver excellent performance and appearance retention in intense traffic locations and where high levels of soil have to be removed from the soles of shoes and wheeltreads.

Where to use?

The location, type and level of traffic affects the choice of product. Tuftiguard is suitable for very heavy and intense traffic areas.

Internal or external

Matting placed outside will defend against soil and the coarsest of footborne dirt. Inside it will defend against footborne moisture and finer dirt particles.

Reversible?

Tuftiguard are double sided mats which can be reversible, effectively doubling their lifespan.

Finishes

There is a wide choice of wiper strips and scraper bars/carriers and inserts to allow our Nuway mats to co-ordinate with all interior finishes.

Scraper bars
As the name suggests, they scrape soil from the traffic walking across the mat

Wiper strips
Prime rubber and polyamide fibre remove moisture and fine dirt

Moisture

Removing moisture from the soles of shoes is vital to prevent slipping.

Customisation

Nuway Tuftiguard can be customised with names, logos and corporate messages

Range options

There are three different styles of tuftiguard mat to choose from, each offering a different level of design and performance flexibility.

Tuftiguard classic

The original and most widely used entrance mat.

Scraper bars – there is a choice of three:
- Anodised aluminium - the most popular choice
- Black anodised aluminium – the robustness of aluminium combined with a matt black aesthetic
- Bamboo – a sustainable species of grass which provides a matt look, ideal for use alongside timber finishes

Wiper strips
The wiper strip is a grey buffed rubber for maximum soil hiding. It’s available as a single or double width strip for increased moisture removal

Depth -12 or 17mm to suit most matwells

Format - Open or closed to suit most entrance environments

Tuftiguard plain

Ideal for external entrances

Scraper bars
Anodised aluminium – ideal for external environments

Wiper strips

Tuftiguard design

The performance of Tuftiguard Classic but with increased design options through the addition of nine coloured wiper strips.

Scraper bars – a choice of three
Anodised aluminium - the most popular choice
Black anodised aluminium – the robustness of aluminium combined with a matt black aesthetic
Bamboo – a sustainable species of grass which provides a matt look, ideal for use alongside timber finishes

Wiper strips
There are nine coloured wiper strips available to allow the entrance to reflect interior colour schemes. There’s a choice of single or double wiper strips for increased moisture removal and stronger colour.

Depth -12 or 17mm to suit most matwells

Format - Open or closed to suit most entrance environments

Considerations
As with all aluminium matting systems of this type, in very brightly lit areas, the strong contrast between light aluminium scraper bar and a dark wiper strip can sometimes create a strobe effect which should be prevented. To avoid disorientating pedestrians affected by this type of visual disturbance, consider using a less contrasting wiper strip.
