Why care homes use this

Slips at entrance thresholds are a significant cause of resident and visitor injuries in care homes. HSE slip prevention guidance identifies entrance matting as a primary control measure for managing wet footwear. A recessed mat system eliminates the trip hazard of surface mats and provides a higher volume debris-capture capacity than surface options.
