Pedimat can be built to a maximum of 12' wide or a total of 100 square feet per module. The modules can be installed to an infinate size. Each of the following detail pages contains the weight per square foot for each product. Please keep these weights in mind when requesting very large modules because the mats will eventually need to be removed so that the recess can be cleaned. We do not recommend splices be located in the center of the doorway.

We have found the rolling load test to be the most comprehensive real-life test available. Most entrance mat failures are due to heavy loads being wheeled through an entranceway. The rolling load test utilizes a weighted 5" x 2" solid polyurethane wheel, which passes over the mat 1000 times. To pass the test the unit must withstand the proposed weight without any permanent deformation to the rails or inserts. Alternative testing methods which measure the amount of deflection or the amount of weight per square foot a unit can withstand simply do not offer the real-world severity an entranceway faces daily. For entryways in businesses such as retail outlets, airports, banks, or casinos, rolling load performance is a critical factor. We recommend units with the highest practical loading capability be specified for such entrances. To aid in the decision making process we recommend viewing the selection guide in our full catalog located in the Design Guide section of this manual. The selection guide lists the rolling load data for all C/S mats and grids.

Although Pedimats can be installed in this application, we do not recommend these products for use under revolving doors. The space requires that they be installed in many pieces and sharp edges result because of the small sections and radiused edges. Consider placement before or after the revolving door with a half-circle cutout to fit the space or consider Peditred G3 or G4, Design Step entrance carpet, or stainless steel Gridline^® for placement inside revolving doors.

On any of these models, a template is recommended to ensure accurate fit.

Although this product can be supplied in this application, we do not recommend Pedigrid for use under revolving doors. The 1 1/2” depth of the product can break the airlock, which negates the energy efficiency of the revolving door. Consider placement before or after the revolving door with a half-circle cutout to fit the space, or consider Peditred G3 or G4, DesignStep^® Entrance Carpet, or stainless steel Gridline^® for use inside revolving doors.

There are many variables in deciding how to install frame. The field condition and finish floor type are the two most important factors. The standard instruction covers the typical installation where there is an oversized recess to set the frames and then is backfilled with grout. Typically there is a tile, carpet or terrazzo floor that will then be installed to about the installed Pedigrid frame. In the case where there will be exposed concrete adjacent to the installed frame, the choice would be to create a block out of the recess, Option #2 of the frame offerings would then be recommended followed with caulk or grout in the small gap left between the frame and the finished floor.
