The range includes:
CS Pedigrid
Designed for recessed installations, this 44mm deep system of removable grille sections allows water, dirt and snow to fall between the heel-proof treads into a matwell. It is ideal for new construction, where high footfalls are to be expected and available in a wide range of tread and colour options.
CS Pediluxe
An elegant, 17mm deep aluminium profile system with a load bearing capability in excess of 500kgs/wheel making it suitable for high volume areas such as shopping centres, hospitals and passenger termini. Pediluxe offers 80% surface absorption area, can be recess or surface mounted and is available in a wide range of tread and colour options.
A slimline and economical entrance matting system suitable for medium to high use areas such as busy offices, surgeries and schools. With its 11mm depth profile Pedimat Ultra will fit in a standard matwell, or can be surface mounted if preferred.
CS Pedimat
A perfect entrance matting solution for buildings in moderate use such as offices, shops, hotels and banks. 11mm deep, it can be recessed or surface mounted and is available in a wide range of tread, colour and rail finish options.
CS Gridline
An architectural stainless-steel grid, which will provide years of durable service while maintaining its great aesthetic look. In addition to standard Gridline, available in 11 or 17mm depths, the company offers 17mm deep CS Gridline Plus, which incorporates textile inserts within the stainless-steel grid.
CS Helix
An easy to install interlocking tile system available in two design options: Helix Z1 - a rubber/vinyl tile, which will scrape off dirt, mud and initial moisture and Helix Z2 – a tile incorporating carpet strips which will absorb dirt and moisture inside the building. Can be installed in a recess or surface mounted.
CS Tetras
Easy to install, CS Tetras Carpet Tiles are super-efficient at removing and holding moisture and dirt. They are suitable for areas of the building where soiling or unusually high wear is inevitable, and can be used on their own, or in combination with a matwell product to extend the dry/clean-off zone.

Construction Specialties - One Glass Wharf Bristol, UK
About the Project
Located in Bristol’s bustling business quarter, One Glass Wharf stands as a testament to modern design and sustainability. Originally completed in 2011, this 19,500m² office building, with its distinctive terracotta, zinc, and glass façade, quickly became the new headquarters for Burges Salmon.
The building, lauded for its innovative design featuring a central atrium crossed by a striking helical stair, received a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and a BCO Regional Award in its inaugural year.
Design Goals
Eleven years post-completion, the main entrance and office areas required a refurbishment, which included the replacement of the building’s entrance matting systems.
The original Pediluxe Entrance Matting, supplied by CS during the initial construction phase, had served well but needed replacement to align with the building’s refreshed interior. The mats had to be fitted within the original matwells whilst still meeting the practical demands of a high-traffic corporate environment.
Solution
CS manufactured a retrofit matting solution using a template provided by the customer. Two Pediluxe mats, each 10200 mm wide, were fabricated to a unique, radiused design, seamlessly fitting around the building’s revolving doors.
The mats featured interior-grade carpet inserts, chosen for their durability and moisture absorption qualities. A Wrought Iron insert colour was specified to complement the building’s interior design, and closed spline option to facilitate ease of cleaning.
Installed on opposite sides of the reception area, the new mats enhance the visual appeal while maintaining the functionality and safety standards required in a busy entrance area.

Construction Specialties - One Snowhill Birmingham, UK
Offering great durability and strength, CS Pedimat® Ultra entrance matting is delivering reliable performance at the stunning One Snowhill office building in Birmingham.
In the very heart of Birmingham’s Colmore Business District and north of the city centre, One Snowhill is a 12-storey, fully glazed and steel-framed office building built in 2009 and comprising 24,500m2 of sought after Grade A office space. As part of a refurbishment and redesign of its large and dramatic office reception set beneath a full-height atrium, the building owner Union Investment decided to replace the existing Pedimat® Ultra matting which had come to the end of its lifespan. The developer was happy to specify the tried and tested system again due to its aesthetics, ease of cleaning and maintenance, and high dirt and moisture removal performance.
To prevent the interior floor surfaces from becoming wet and slippery and to reduce the cleaning and maintenance costs throughout the building, two 6-metre wide Pedimat® Ultra entrance mats are spanning main entrance areas of the building. The system comprises 11mm deep, mill-finished aluminium rails, hinged with vinyl splines and is available in a choice of tread options to meet the project’s aesthetic and performance requirements. At One Snowhill, closed vinyl spline was used for increased dirt containment and ease of in-situ cleaning. In the revolving door sections, Platinum coloured exterior grade carpet inserts effectively remove dirt and moisture, while Wrought Iron coloured interior grade carpet inserts were chosen for the rest of the matting area to finish off the cleaning and drying process.
Creating the right first impression in any commercial building is paramount and with CS Pedimat® Ultra once again the go-to entrance matting solution at One Snowhill, the developer can ensure visitors and employees will have the very best arrival experience.
Pedimat® Ultra is elegant, slimline and economical, whilst also providing an increased absorption area and strength when compared with standard Pedimat.
With its 11mm slim depth profile, as well as fitting in a standard matwell, it can also easily fit alongside floor tiles and carpets to produce a flush floor finish.
Suitable for medium to high use areas such as busy offices, surgeries and schools Pedimat Ultra suits any environment.
