USEFUL NOTES
If required, Gridiron can provide an installation service and will make a cost estimate.
When designing the installation of a Top Clean doormat, the following points should be considered:
• Best efficiency: the doormat should always be fitted in a frame flush with the floor. Sizes and fitting of the frame are described in the section “Installation accessories”.
• Top Clean Trend doormats: when ordering, always give the length of the strips and the tread direction (see figure 3).
• Supply of frame and doormat: when ordering a frame and doormat system, please give the outside measurement of the frame. From this measurement we take off about 10 mm for the final measurement of the doormat.
• Frame already in place: when a frame is already available, give its internal measurements. From this measurement we take off about 5 mm for the final measurement of the doormat.
• Water drainage: when installing frames out of doors, it will be necessary to install a water outlet for drainage (for instance, by making an opening in the floor).
• Hard wear: for entrance areas with heavy foot traffic such as at airports, supermarkets, shopping centres etc. we recommend our Top Clean Stabil doormats which can fully withstand the wear.
• Custom made production: for custom made items, we advise a special template in PVC, which is sensitive to atmospheric agents and keeps its exact measurements.
Attention: do not fold the template, just roll it. The upper part of the template and the tread direction are to be shown. Only by receiving exact data can a tailor-made doormat be produced.

Some examples of correct and incorrect divisions
a Profile lengths
b Tread directions
A CORRECT
B WRONG
c split along the length of the strip
d split in the tread direction
The manufacturer recommends, if possible, splitting the doormat in the tread
direction.
