Brush Step Entrance Mat for Home or Office, 3' X 6' Charcoal

The Better #109 brush step entrance mat features a lighter-weight double rib high/low design that performs the scraping function of the mat. The ribbed surface brushes, channels, and conceals dirt and debris, making it the perfect choice for light to medium traffic areas. The vinyl backing helps reduce mat movement, and the carpet is made of 25% post-industrial and consumer recycled content.

To evaluate the performance of the Better #109 brush step entrance mat, various tests have been conducted by an independent testing laboratory:

1. Abrasion Resistance ASTM D3884-01: The test specimen is subjected to the rubbing action of two abrading wheels under controlled conditions. The results are measured in weight loss (Grams), with a score of 1.15.

2. Accelerated Wear: The test specimen is subjected to the action of rollers under a specified load, and the sample is rotated 10 degrees after each pass. The results are measured in thickness loss (percent), with a score of 38.66%.

3. Accelerated Soiling ASTM D6540-00: The test specimen is subjected to an accelerated soiling process for a predetermined length of time. The sample is then vacuumed, rated, submitted to an extraction device, and rated again. The results show a Vacuum Rating of 4.0 and a Rating After Extraction of 4.5 (based on visual inspection).

4. Water Retention: The test specimen is submerged in water for 5 minutes, removed, drained for 15 seconds, and weighed. The results are measured in weight gain (Gallons per square yard), with a score of 0.25.

5. Flammability ASTM D2859 (CPSC FF 1-70): This test is intended to measure the mat's response to an ignition source in a controlled environment. The uncharred area of the test specimen must be greater than 1 inch to pass, and the Better #109 brush step entrance mat scored 3.5 inches.

The Better #109 brush step entrance mat is available in a charcoal color and is suitable for use in indoor entranceways, lobbies, and all medium traffic areas. Its features include a face weight of 19 oz. per square yard and a backing thickness of 70 +/- 4 mils.
