HOWE GREEN SERVES UP AN ENTRANCE AT QUAKERS FRIARS

A robust and effective entrance mat from Howe Green has provided the vital finishing touch to a new delicatessen in Quakers Friars, part of Cabot Circus – Bristol’s landmark one million square foot urban regeneration scheme.

Quakers Friars offers the high end retail and fine dining focus to Cabot Circus. It features a new Chandos Deli, a hugely successful specialty food retailer operating in the South West of England, with branches in Bristol, Bath and Exeter.

Passionate about the food its sells and renowned for sourcing exciting and authentic produce from all over the world, it was paramount the new Chandos Deli store makes the right first impression. To safely protect against dirt and water ingress into the store and therefore prevent customer trips, a Metro 9 entrance mat from Howe Green was installed.

Featuring aluminium scraping channels, which are securely connected using a recycled LDPE flexible hinge, the Metro 9 range offers high performance with a slim profile. This makes it the perfect choice for creating an elegant and unobtrusive entrance.

Entrance mats provide an effective method of removing dirt and water from soles of shoes, thus eliminating ingress of dirt into buildings. As well as helping to ensure clean interiors, the elimination of dirt and water also prevents slip hazards. Chandos Deli specified the mat with optional black rubber insert for additional durability.

Fully compatible for the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) the Metro 9 range is a mere 9.5mm thick, allowing it to be incorporated into an existing matwell or surface mounted when door thresholds are minimal height. Each product in the Metro 9 range is made with 30% recycled product and offers complete end of life recyclability.

The Metro 9 is just one of a complete range of entrance matting produced by Howe Green. The company also produces a wide selection of floor, wall and ceiling access panels plus specialist channel drains.
