The Raiffeisen Bank in Gossau,
Switzerland is using Frontrunner XT
matting to provide safe passage for
pedestrians on three footbridges
which link the car-park to the bank’s
entrance. A problem occurred when
the steel bridges got cold very
quickly which in turn made the
walkway surface icy and slippery.
The 100% vinyl open grid matting
is made by Plastic Extruders and
was specified by flooring specialist
Wibatec. Its diamond cut surface
provides increased traction and
safety underfoot even in wet and icy
conditions. Close grid construction
makes it heel and wheel-proof and it
is flexible enough to contour over the
curve of the bridge.
