Premier Matwell Floating - Antique Brass

Construct a door mat surround in your hall with the Premier Matwell for floors that expand

Create a practical and smart entrance to your home

• The Premier Matwell door mat surround is made in solid brass and available in a choice of 10 smart metal finishes to achieve a quality look to the entrance into your home.
• It is ideal for coir (17mm thick) and ribbed (12mm thick) matting fitted into a recessed matwell i.e. set into your flooring. Simply build up the matwell subfloor in with plywood or the like to the necessary depth.
• This Floating Matwell caters for when your surrounding floorcovering is a floating one. This means that it expands and contracts, such as some vinyl brands, certain types of engineered wood, timber and laminate floors. It likewise works well with stuck-down floors i.e. non-floating.
• Choose from a choice of lengths for constructing matwells of any size. Note: these matwell profiles are supplied in lengths to make your own matwell frame but are not supplied as a ready-made frame.
• There are no screws involved (just glue) and therefore they are ideal where underfloor heating could be an issue.
• The finished mat frame is designed to sit slightly raised above the floor level whilst also fixing into the recessed matwell.
• Available 900mm, 1000mm, 1800mm and 2700mm lengths to make on site any shape or size of frame to suit your needs.
• Meanwhile, if your flooring is non-floating e.g. porcelain, glued wood etc, you can also consider one of the following floor profiles instead. Premier Lip or the Premier Matwells for Non Floating flooring
• Additionally, if your surrounding flooring is carpet you can use the Premier Square instead.
