Nuway Connect
Nuway Connect’s highly versatile roll-up single sided entrance system makes it easy to shape on site, meaning it’s ideal for awkwardly shaped entrances.
A flexible, single sided entrance mat, Nuway Connect lets you mix and match from a choice of four inserts.

Location, level and type of traffic will dictate your choice of product. Nuway Connect suits very heavy traffic entrances, for example. For entrances where high point loading or intense traffic is common, Forbo’s Tuftiguard or Tuftiguard HD ranges might be more suitable.
Matting sited outside will protect against soil and coarse foot borne dirt. Inside, it will protect against foot-borne moisture and fine dirt particles. Nuway Connect is suitable for internal and external entrances depending on choice of insert.
As a single sided mat, Nuway Connect cannot be reversed to allow both sides to be used, unlike our Tuftiguard ranges.
With a wide choice of mixable inserts, Connect can be adapted to suit individual needs. This includes Ultragrip rubber, bristle and Coral textile inserts. Each insert can be replaced onsite helping to extend the product’s wear-life. Connect with Coral inserts enables you to match the rigid entrance system to Coral Classic sheet and tile products to create colour-coordinated entrance areas.
Removing moisture from shoe soles is key to preventing individuals slipping on interior surfaces. Connect with Coral inserts remove more moisture than other Connect inserts.

4 row bristle – for removal of coarse dirt. For interior and exterior use.
Ultragrip Rubber - for sure footing in multi directional entrances. For interior and exterior use. This insert has been tested using the pendulum (the HSE recommended test method) in accordance with BS7976-2 and the UK Slip Resistant Group Guidelines and offers a low slip risk in wet and dry conditions. It also offers increased underfoot comfort due to its 'pocketed' construction and has excellent fire rating properties.
Coral Classic - for removing moisture and fine dirt. For interior use only.
Every entrance has a unique environment so Connect allows you to mix and match inserts to suit your exact requirements. For areas with heavy soiling you may want to include bristle, but if the issue is mainly one of moisture, a mat that’s predominantly Coral Classic inserts may be the optimum one.
For guidance on the ideal mix, please contact our Entrance Flooring Systems Customer Service Department on 01773 740688
Open – This format allows dirt to be collected in the matwell rather than the surface and is easily rollable for cleaning.
Closed – This format gives improved functionality of the entrance mat as there is a greater surface of inserts
The choice of height will largely be dependent on the depth of the matwell.
Due to the different construction of the 10mm depth product, there is a greater visibility of the aluminium carrier than on the other two heights
Considerations
BS8300-2:2018 Section 14.2 states that both natural and artificial sources of lighting should be designed to avoid creating glare, pools of bright light and strong shadows. As with all aluminium matting systems of this type, in very brightly lit or illuminated areas,the strong contrast between light coloured aluminium scraper bars and dark wiper strips can sometimes create a strong visual contrast (and in extreme situations, a strobe effect) which should be prevented. To avoid disorientating pedestrians affected by this type of visual disturbance, consider using a less contrasting insert. If you are considering Connect for an exterior mat in an exposed entrance, we recommend using Ultragrip rubber or a combination of Ultragrip rubber and bristle for maximum slip resistance. Please contact our Entrance Flooring Systems customer service team on 01773 740 688 to ensure compatibility.
