The Old Bookshop, a popular independent book store and café in Bristol, needed a better solution for their constantly busy entrance, which became slippery and messy during the city's frequent downpours. Their standard coir mat was perpetually waterlogged and a trip hazard.
"The entrance is the first thing customers see, and ours was starting to look tired and frankly, a bit unsafe. We needed something that looked professional, stayed put, and could handle hundreds of footsteps a day, rain or shine. This Coba mat has been brilliant."
Michael Edwards – Owner
After installing the Coba F289-ST, the team reported a 50% reduction in time spent mopping the entrance area on wet days, and received positive comments from regulars on the improved safety and appearance.
Ever caught your toe on the edge of a rug and stumbled? That's what a 'butt edge' on a floor mat can do. The 'Safety Bevelled Edges' on this mat solve that problem entirely. Think of it like a tiny, built-in ramp around the entire perimeter. Instead of creating an abrupt, vertical edge that can catch shoes, trolley wheels, or walking aids, the bevelled edge creates a gentle slope.
This means foot traffic, pushchairs, and even cleaning equipment can glide smoothly on and off the mat without jarring or catching. It’s a small design detail that makes a massive difference in a busy commercial environment, significantly reducing the risk of trips and falls and turning the mat from a potential obstacle into a seamless part of your floor.
Q: Can this mat be used outdoors?
A: It's primarily designed for indoor use in entrances, lobbies, and hallways, or in sheltered outdoor doorways where it won't be directly exposed to heavy rain.
Q: What makes the steel frame on this commercial door mat better?
A: The steel frame ensures the mat always lies perfectly flat, preventing the edges from curling up over time, which is a common trip hazard with unframed mats.
Q: Is the base genuinely non-slip, even on smooth tiled floors?
A: Yes, the washable anti-slip base is designed to provide excellent grip on a variety of common hard floor surfaces, including ceramic tiles and vinyl.
Q: How do you clean the Coba F289-ST floor mat?
A: For day-to-day dirt, a simple vacuum clean is sufficient. For spills, you can wipe it with a damp cloth.
Q: Is it suitable for wheeled traffic like trolleys or wheelchairs?
A: Absolutely. The low 6mm profile and safety bevelled edges allow wheeled traffic to pass over it smoothly and easily.
Q: Will the mat's backing mark or discolour my light-coloured flooring?
A: The mat is designed to be colourfast and safe for use on most common commercial flooring types without leaving marks.
Q: Can I cut the mat to a custom size?
A: No, due to the integrated steel frame, this mat cannot be cut or altered in size.
Q: How effective is it at trapping water?
A: The textured surface is excellent at scraping moisture from shoes, helping to keep your internal floors dry. However, it is not a deep-pile absorbent mat.
