Westgate Shopping Centre, located in the West Rand, opened its doors in October 1985 as one of Johannesburg’s first super-regional retail destinations. Entrance matting plays a critical role in creating a great first impression, as it is one of the first things people notice when entering a building. Therefore Westgate Mall turned to COBA for an entrance matting solution to create a grand welcome.
An entrance matting solution at Westgate
COBA installed the Premier Star Gripper Plus, a set of interlocking carpet entrance tiles designed to keep internal floor coverings clean and slip-free. This system offers two surface options, firstly a polypropylene carpet. Secondly, a woven brush, catering to different needs and preferences. The PVC base tile is manufactured from 100% recycled materials. Tiles simply clip together on-site for ease of transportation and installation. Easy, durable and an entrance matting solution for the Westgate Mall.
Additionally, to complement the Premier Star Gripper Plus, COBA also installed the Trio Scraper. This matting solution is built to handle high volumes of foot traffic and features an anti-slip latex backing to improve safety. Suitable for recessed matwells or lay-to-surface with bevelled edging applications. Additionally, optional bevelled edging can be added to reduce trip hazards and further enhance safety.
