What is a Clean-Off Zone?

A clean-off zone is a specialized arrangement of various entrance mats that can be individually selected and adapted to the traffic intensity within a building.

The area of such a zone can range from 2 to even 40 square meters. It can be effectively used in both mini versions for home use and in large-scale facilities.

This entrance area consists of various products: entrance mats, floor mats, grates, and other solutions that can be combined in different ways depending on the function they need to fulfill.

The Importance of Clean-Off Zones in Every Building

Banks, shopping centers, hospitals, and public offices are visited daily by hundreds of employees, customers, clients, and guests. In just a short time, a significant amount of dirt and dust is brought in on their shoe soles, along with water, mud, and snow during autumn and winter.

This unwanted dirt not only affects the aesthetic of the spaces but also negatively impacts the entire clean-off zone within the building.

Appropriate clean-off mats are capable of stopping contaminants right at the entrance.

Thoughtfully designed and unique combinations of mats protect every floor from dirt, moisture, and slipping hazards.

What Determines the Cost of a Clean-Off Zone?

The cost of a clean-off zone primarily depends on the projected size of the installation – specifically, the length and width of the cleaning area – which is directly influenced by the anticipated foot traffic at the building entrances.

Higher traffic requires a larger entrance zone, which subsequently increases the overall system cost.

Additionally, the price of each individual mat is affected by the materials used: the height and width of the profiles, as well as the type of cleaning elements, such as ribbed carpet, rubber, or brush inserts.

The final price may also be increased by selected accessories, like edge ramps, scraper boxes, or frames.

Over time, the price of the mat pays for itself by significantly reducing cleaning costs.

How Long Should the Clean-Off Zone Be?

The length of the clean-off zone largely depends on its location. For home use or a terrace, the zone might be 1-2 meters, in a hotel 4-6 meters, while at an airport or large shopping center, it could range from 10 to 20 meters. The shoes of people using it must be thoroughly cleaned and dried.

In reality, the area in square meters is more important than the cleaning area’s length alone. It depends on the amount of traffic moving through the building’s interior.

Clean-Off Zones Detail

The complex structure of clean-off zones leaves no chance for dirt, ensuring that shoe soles are cleaned effectively and quickly. The system includes three smaller zones:

Zone 1

The first zone is always located directly outside the door. Its function is to remove the heaviest dirt from shoes with its bristles. This part of the clean-off zone, with high-quality clean-off mats, creates a positive first impression for visitors.

Zone 2

This is the so-called "airlock" or intermediate zone. It captures any remaining coarse dirt not removed by the initial mat. In buildings where a second zone cannot be accommodated, Zones I and III should be extended accordingly to create a unified clean-off zone.

Zone 3

The final part of the clean-off zone is located inside the building. This zone is the most absorbent, capturing the smallest particles, such as fine dust and moisture. After passing through this zone, shoe soles are not only clean but also dry. The design and implementation of this three-zone system form the complete clean-off zone.

Benefits of Clean-Off Zones with Embedded Entrance Mats

Clean-off zones offer numerous advantages, the most significant being cleanliness. Other essential benefits include reducing slip and fall risks, saving money (by lowering cleaning costs!), and minimizing the time needed for cleaning and renovating floors that wear out quickly.

The clean-off mat can be easily removed from its recess for cleaning and then replaced. This ensures that the entire clean-off zone in the building remains clean and polished. Additionally, when the clean-off mat is embedded, it reduces the risk of customers and guests tripping over it. The clean-off zone sits flush with the floor, creating a cohesive and elegant appearance.

Why Choose the Alukraft Clean-Off Zone?

Opt for an Alukraft clean-off mat and receive a true premium product, which not only effectively traps dirt but also impresses with its durability and low-maintenance properties.

The mats have a high cleaning efficiency, removing most dirt particles from shoes. By creating a three-zone clean-off system, you ensure that approximately 80% of outdoor dirt stays outside. Additionally, an Alukraft clean-off zone is embedded, seamlessly blending with the surrounding environment.

You can clarify important details of your clean-off zone for the outdoor area with us in advance. For example, you can determine the dimensions of the clean-off mat from the beginning. Then, you can choose the profile and type of cleaning inserts. Finally, you can decide on a color for your clean-off zone. Not every embedded clean-off mat has to be in boring gray or black. We also offer bright colors that make your entrance area an eye-catching feature.
