A guide to designing an entrance for your building

About the Authors

With years of building protection experience under our collective belts wersquove distilled our knowledge into this compact guide to designing an entrance for your building

In addition to our experience wersquove also included recommendations from the Health amp Safety Executive (HSE) as well as details of current legislation applicable to entrances and entrance flooring systems

So lets get started

Founded in the United States CS has been a global manufacturer and supplier of a range of specialist building products for over 60 years

Operating through 22 offices world wide with key manufacturing locations or sales offices in most European countries Employing more than 2000 people around the world CS have the skills and the knowledge to help you with your building

Self Closing DoorsWell designed entrances often have self closing doors helping to keep inclement weather out protecting entrance mats and floor surfaces and reducing the amount of building heat loss

It is also worth noting that under floor heating and heat curtains over doorways can often speed up the drying time of wet mats and floors and can contribute to a well designed entrance

Care must be taken to ensure automatic doors arenrsquot too sensitive being triggered by passers-by and potentially allowing rain to be blown-in on busy days

wwwc-sgroupcouk

Rotating DoorsRotating doors force pedestrians to take several footsteps on the entrance matting within the door This provides an opportunity to remove water from shoes on wet days and reduces the amount of water tracked into the building

Some rotating doors can be a problem for people carrying bags and deliveries wheelchair users and people with mobility problems so it is important to ensure that secondary doors are installed for alternative access (See next page for more info)

Secondary EntrancesSecondary entrances often arenrsquot self closing and frequently have inadequate entrance matting which leads to water getting into the building causing a slip hazard

Secondary entrances should be designed to effectively stop water getting into the building using effective entrance matting and some of the other design methods mentioned in this ebook

wwwc-sgroupcouk

CanopiesCanopies can play a key role in protecting build-ing entrances from inclement weather reducing the ingress of water

When designing a good canopy you should considerbull The height - If itrsquos too high rain or snow may be

blown under it towards the doorsbull The size - It needs to extend far enough away from

the building to provinde an effective rain shadow for the entrance

bull The orientation - It should provide effective shelter from prevailing winds

Canopies have an important function prevent-ing water getting into the building When making a design statement out of a canopy remember it still needs to perform its original function

Entrance MatsEntrance mats are one of the main barriers preventing dirt and water from being walked in and getting onto the floor of a building Entrance mats are often primarily installed to protect the surface finish of the floor

To prevent slips entrance mats need to be good at removing water from shoes

It takes several footfalls with each foot to effectively dry a pedestrinrsquos shoes On average CS recommends 8-10 footfalls roughly 6 metres of entrance matting Wet footprints beyond the matting are a warning sign and indicate that the mat is either not long enough not absorbent enough or canrsquot cope with the amount of foot traffic

Effective entrance mats should

be good at retaining water be quick drying be fungal and bacteria resistant cope with push chairs amp rolling loads be regularly cleaned be kept in good condition

It is also important that there is a clear colour contrast between the entrance mat and the surround

wwwc-sgroupcouk

Positioning Entrance Mats

Positioning matting as close to the entrance as possible helps to reduce the chance of a slip and immediately tackles shoe born dirt and water

If an entrance mat is positioned correctly everyone that enters the building should step directly onto the mat and should walk across it for several paces before stepping onto the entrance floor

To prevent trips entrance mats should ideally be fixed or sited in a mat-well This allows the mat to be flush with the floor and prevents mats from creeping

Supplementary MatsThere are times when supplementary matting will be used to stop water getting onto a floor for example at secondary doorways or beyond entrance matting that is proving ineffective

Supplementary matting needs to have the same good features as fixed matting and should not move when stepped on It is important that they donrsquot lose their shape curl or ruck as they can create a slip risk

When using supplementary matting position it up against the original fixed matting ensuring there are no gaps If used as a stand-alone mat at an entrance position it as close to the doorway as possible again ensuring no gaps and that it is fixed securely using an adhesive or tackifier

It is important to note that loose mats or ldquothrow downrdquo mats can introduce a range of hazards and can create a barrier to entry which is against DDA compliance so CS recommends fixing any supplementary matting using an adhesive of tackifier

Supplementary matting should be considered a temporary fix it is recommended to improve the entrance design at the first opportunity

wwwc-sgroupcouk

To Summarise

bull Water tracked into a building can cause a slip hazard By considering slips at the design stage you can prevent accidents and the need for expensive modifications later

bull As floors at entrances are likely to get wet specify flooring that has a low slip risk when wet

bull Effective entrance matting canopies amp rotating doors can all help to minimise the amount of water brought into a building

bull For mats to remove water from shoes they need to be absorbent long enough for a pedestrian to walk on them for several steps and be kept in good condition

bull Under floor heating and heat curtains over doorways can speed up the drying time of wet mats and floors

Rotating DoorsRotating doors force pedestrians to take several footsteps on the entrance matting within the door This provides an opportunity to remove water from shoes on wet days and reduces the amount of water tracked into the building

Some rotating doors can be a problem for people carrying bags and deliveries wheelchair users and people with mobility problems so it is important to ensure that secondary doors are installed for alternative access (See next page for more info)

Secondary EntrancesSecondary entrances often arenrsquot self closing and frequently have inadequate entrance matting which leads to water getting into the building causing a slip hazard

Secondary entrances should be designed to effectively stop water getting into the building using effective entrance matting and some of the other design methods mentioned in this ebook

CanopiesCanopies can play a key role in protecting build-ing entrances from inclement weather reducing the ingress of water

When designing a good canopy you should considerbull The height - If itrsquos too high rain or snow may be

blown under it towards the doorsbull The size - It needs to extend far enough away from

the building to provinde an effective rain shadow for the entrance

bull The orientation - It should provide effective shelter from prevailing winds

Canopies have an important function prevent-ing water getting into the building When making a design statement out of a canopy remember it still needs to perform its original function

Entrance MatsEntrance mats are one of the main barriers preventing dirt and water from being walked in and getting onto the floor of a building Entrance mats are often primarily installed to protect the surface finish of the floor

To prevent slips entrance mats need to be good at removing water from shoes

It takes several footfalls with each foot to effectively dry a pedestrinrsquos shoes On average CS recommends 8-10 footfalls roughly 6 metres of entrance matting Wet footprints beyond the matting are a warning sign and indicate that the mat is either not long enough not absorbent enough or canrsquot cope with the amount of foot traffic

Effective entrance mats should

be good at retaining water be quick drying be fungal and bacteria resistant cope with push chairs amp rolling loads be regularly cleaned be kept in good condition

It is also important that there is a clear colour contrast between the entrance mat and the surround

wwwc-sgroupcouk

Positioning Entrance Mats

Positioning matting as close to the entrance as possible helps to reduce the chance of a slip and immediately tackles shoe born dirt and water

If an entrance mat is positioned correctly everyone that enters the building should step directly onto the mat and should walk across it for several paces before stepping onto the entrance floor

To prevent trips entrance mats should ideally be fixed or sited in a mat-well This allows the mat to be flush with the floor and prevents mats from creeping

Supplementary MatsThere are times when supplementary matting will be used to stop water getting onto a floor for example at secondary doorways or beyond entrance matting that is proving ineffective

Supplementary matting needs to have the same good features as fixed matting and should not move when stepped on It is important that they donrsquot lose their shape curl or ruck as they can create a slip risk

When using supplementary matting position it up against the original fixed matting ensuring there are no gaps If used as a stand-alone mat at an entrance position it as close to the doorway as possible again ensuring no gaps and that it is fixed securely using an adhesive or tackifier

It is important to note that loose mats or ldquothrow downrdquo mats can introduce a range of hazards and can create a barrier to entry which is against DDA compliance so CS recommends fixing any supplementary matting using an adhesive of tackifier

Supplementary matting should be considered a temporary fix it is recommended to improve the entrance design at the first opportunity

To Summarise

bull Water tracked into a building can cause a slip hazard By considering slips at the design stage you can prevent accidents and the need for expensive modifications later

bull As floors at entrances are likely to get wet specify flooring that has a low slip risk when wet

bull Effective entrance matting canopies amp rotating doors can all help to minimise the amount of water brought into a building

bull For mats to remove water from shoes they need to be absorbent long enough for a pedestrian to walk on them for several steps and be kept in good condition

bull Under floor heating and heat curtains over doorways can speed up the drying time of wet mats and floors
