Topguard Matting

Topguard is a primary barrier mat suitable for the most demanding applications, e.g. airports and supermarkets where cleaning and drying of heavy foot and wheeled traffic is required.

Topguard is manufactured from rubber wipers interwoven with nylon fibres and linking strips in a choice of aluminium, brass or PVC-u, held together with galvanised steel wires.

Topguard is available in both an open (5mm) or closed construction, with single or double wipers and in two thicknesses (12mm or 18mm), providing an extensive choice of configurations to suit most applications. When installed as a true rectangle or square, Topguard can be reversed to extend the product life.

In very brightly lit areas, typically glass atriums and/or areas illuminated with very bright artificial lighting, the strong contrast between an aluminium scraper and a dark wiper in Topguard matting can cause a strobe effect, which should be avoided.

To reduce this effect, Gradus recommends that a less contrasting wiper colour should be selected. 

Topguard can also be manufactured to most shapes on approval of a template.

For a complete barrier matting system, Topguard can be used with Boulevard secondary barrier matting.
