Our team at EMS are all involved in sport, we regularly take part in cricket, golf, open water swimming, running, cycling and general keep fit exercise. We have organised or help with sporting events, take part in charity events and support our local or national teams.
Sport and leisure applications cover a wide range of areas and uses from gyms to golf clubs, ski centres to velodromes and athletics to football stadiums, even rehabilitation and physiotherapy…
Our entrance matting systems are designed to suit any application and usage.
We understand that you not only want an aesthetically pleasing entrance matting system providing your customers and visitors with a great first impression of your establishment and services but equally to be effective at removing dirt, safe for all users and hard wearing. Indoor and outdoor sports facilities will require entrance matting with different properties to withstand environmental conditions as well as having the right solution for the type of traffic it will encounter.
We appreciate sports facilities requires specialist infills and entrance design to work with the type of traffic and equipment that use your entrance on a regular basis.
Foot borne traffic – Not just the amount of footfall but also the use of specialist footwear is common in many sports, i.e. studs and spikes.
Wheels – wheelchairs, equipment, bikes, trolleys etc.
Other – animals, crutches, blades, skies, skates etc.
We offer a big variety of infills in lots of colours within all of EMS entrance matting system ranges as well as other possibilities to add in-laid logos and anodised aluminium in 4 luxurious colours. All EMS infills are all easily replaced with the same or different infills and/or scraper bars at a fraction of the cost of replacing a completely new matting system; making this a great solution if you are wanting to update your colour scheme or change your logo and branding now or in the future.
There are two ranges of entrance matting systems we would recommend for most sport’s facilities, these are:
