Waterhog Premier matting beautifies
entrances while protecting interiors from dirt
 A top-of-the-range version of one of the world’s
best-selling entrance matting, Waterhog™ Premier,
has been released in Australia by the General at Company
(GMC).
Waterhog Premier features a rubber-reinforced face design
for added beauty and performance, in addition to the Waterhog
range’s unique ribbed construction that is designed
to soak up dirt and water before it can spoil expensive
carpets or flooring and create safety hazards.
Waterhog Premier™ No. 295 is designed to remain
functional and attractive while removing and trapping dirt
and moisture, holding up to 6.79 litres of water per square
metre. Its rubber face design is complemented by a 36-ounce
heavy duty multi-denier yarn system that is 33 per cent
heavier than the original Waterhog range made by the Andersen
company, which is one of the world’s leading producers
of heavy duty entrance matting. The dual fibre construction
combines thick fibres for scraping, with thin fibres for
wiping, providing better mat performance and longer life,
says GMC Managing Director Mr Michael Siegle.
Like the original Waterhog, the Premier range’s
rubber-reinforced face prevents crushing under the highest
traffic areas. Also like the original, Waterhog Premier
features a water dam around the border which traps dirt
and water, keeping them off carpets and floors and minimising
slip hazards and floor damage around the perimeter of the
mat.
"Waterhog is one of the most successful entrance
matting products in the world because of its efficiency
in keeping dirt out of buildings . It has been estimated
that once dirt is allowed into a building, it costs roughly
$1000 a kilogram to remove," said Mr Siegle, whose
company holds exclusive distribution rights for Andersen
products in Australia.
Colourfast and lightfast Waterhog matting - constructed
from solution-dyed polypropylene textile on a rubber backing
- is intended for use in commercial and industrial buildings,
including factories, hospitals, hotels, shops, offices,
transport terminals and public amenities. Colours include
Indigo, Southern Pine, Black Smoke and Grey Ash.
Features of Waterhog include:
- Rubber reinforced face nubs and waffle design, which together
prevent the pile from crushing, extending product life.
- Quick-drying polypropylene fibre which will not fade or
rot. Mats can easily be vacuumed or hosed off.
- High anti-static ratings, averaging 1.2kv. Waterhog
Premier mats have a maximum average voltage of 1.6kv
as measured
by the AATCC and meet IBM’s minimum standard for
electrical resistance. This means they are safe for use
in computer rooms and around electrical equipment.
- Waterhog passes flammability standard DOCFFQ70 (but is
not recommended for use in areas exposed to grease or petroleum
products).
In addition to distributing Waterhog, The General Mat
Company is Australia’s largest supplier of anti-fatigue,
ergonomic and safety matting.
