Brush mats

Brush mats are often placed at the access gates of artificial turf fields. Athletes and supervisors walk over the mat when they leave the field, causing infill and dirt to be removed better from shoes. This helps limit the spread of loose material outside the field.

For good performance, walking length is important. The longer the user walks over the brush mat, the better the dirt and infill can be loosened. That’s why it’s important to align the mat’s dimensions and position with the walking route.

In addition to brush mats for artificial turf fields, we also supply walk-off mats and shoe brushes. These are often used at entrances to sports facilities, changing-room areas, club buildings, schools and other buildings where dirt tracking needs to be limited.

Shoe brushes allow users to clean their shoes easily before entering the building. This contributes to a cleaner floor and can help limit cleaning and maintenance costs.

In situations where extra capture is needed, a version with recessed dirt capture can be chosen. With this, dirt, sand, infill and microplastics are captured more effectively, so they end up less quickly outside the field or in the surrounding area.

A brush mat with dirt capture is particularly interesting for artificial turf fields where infill retention and limiting the spread of microplastics are key points. This makes the solution suitable for sports parks that focus on maintenance and preventive measures.

In addition to our range, we also offer GreenMatter recycled brush mats. These are manufactured from materials from old artificial turf fields, aligning with a circular approach to sports parks.

With a recycled brush mat, you choose a practical measure against the spread of infill and microplastics and you help to reuse materials from worn-out artificial turf fields. This way, circularity literally returns on and around the sports field.

At artificial turf fields, it’s important to prevent the spread of loose material and fibres as much as possible. That’s why brush mats are often used as part of preventive measures around infill retention and countering microplastics.

Together with solutions such as edging boards, walk-off zones and good maintenance routines, brush mats can help keep the sports field easier to manage. We’re happy to think along about the right combination of measures for your facility.

Which brush mat is most suitable depends on the function, location and how it’s used. Key questions include, for example, where the mat is placed, how many people walk over it every day, whether the mat is used indoors or outdoors, and how the mat needs to be maintained.

The dimensions, walking direction, dirt capture, color and placement also play a role. W&H Sports can advise on the right version and dimensions so the brush mat fits the situation at your location well.

A brush mat works best when it is placed in a logical spot in the walking route. For artificial turf fields, that’s often directly at the access gate or exit of the field. The walking direction should run as well as possible over the brush profiles.

We can also think along about the placement of brush mats. We consider the routing, available space, connection to the field and practical feasibility.

There are different types of brush mats, such as brush mats for access gates, walk-off mats, shoe brushes and versions with recessed dirt capture. The right choice depends on the location, the use and the goal of the mat.

Brush mats are available in different sizes. Depending on the situation, the right length, width and segment layout can be selected so the mat fits properly within the route or access gate.

Yes, depending on the design there are different colour options. This way, the brush mat can better match the look of the sports park, the facility or the existing layout.

Brush mats are mainly used at access gates for artificial grass pitches, entrances to sports facilities, changing room areas, schools and buildings where dirt tracked in or the spread of infill needs to be limited.

A brush mat with dirt collection captures infill, sand and dirt better. This prevents the material from being spread further and makes it easier to remove during maintenance.

Pay attention, among other things, to the function, location, direction of travel, dimensions, dirt collection, maintenance and desired service life. We can help determine which brush mat best suits your situation.

No, brush mats and shoe brushes are also suitable for schools, public buildings, business locations and other places where tracked-in dirt needs to be limited.
