Three-tiered approach to the problem of dirt

Vitaly Lions Owners of public buildings over the years scratching their heads over the search for a universal floor covering, which would not lose its presentation box a few months of operation. However, no matter how persistent was not material, it can not be protected from sand, mud, salt, brought into the room on the soles of visitors. Therefore, the problem of protecting the flooring in the halls and corridors of office buildings it makes sense to take a fresh look, for example, through the cell system gryazezaschity flooring. At any time, in any weather from the street, on the soles of shoes entered the mud or sand. According to a study of the International Association of suppliers of sanitary equipment, one thousand people during the month brings on his shoes in the room about 12 pounds of mud. In this case, in rainy or snowy weather, the same "weight" stored for 2-3 days. If the building is not set security entrance of dirt, then for the first 3-4 meters from the entrance to the premises for 42% damage to the floor. This outdoor cocktail is harmful for both the gender and human health. Sand and other fine particles are a natural abrasive, so they are dangerous to the floor, as destroying all kinds of flooring, and for health, because the dust particles cause allergies, and affect the health of the skin. It was silly to argue that the problems do not matter and dirt, usually from this scourge are struggling with metal grate that fertility is mounted in front of the building, but it is ineffective measure. Sometimes this heavy artillery reinforcing pile carpet or a wet rag in the lobby, like "defenders" will soon become themselves a source of dust and dirt. Struggle with dirt requires a serious professional approach, no half-measures do not succeed, but the savings on gryazeulavlivayuschih systems inevitably turns into a huge cost to the frequent replacement of floor coverings and redecoration of the premises. Therefore, pragmatic instrannymi scientists to address ongoing and already annoying problem, struggle with dirt, was invented by three-tier system of protection of buildings from mud, which consists of cellular and pile coir coatings, located in a certain sequence. This system allows you to hold up to 98% of dirt and moisture. A system of three-named because it consists of three stages, or if you want the steps: cleaning, combined and pylevlagozaschitnoy. Various gryazezaderzhivayuschie floor systems do not differ much in price. In this case, the difference in their performance, and hence the difference between the cost of cleaning fee may be substantial. It must be remembered that the cover will be useful only if the incoming make on it at least four steps. Three-tier system of protection from dirt, developed by European and American experts, has been successfully applied at present and in Russia. Especially her dignity can be considered the detention of dirt at the entrance and the impossibility of its distribution in the room where the first level are coarse coating, the second - close-meshed cover, and the third - pile carpets. At its core, this system is a hidden kind of cleaning, do not violate the design and maintain a clean floor coverings indoors. The first step of cleaning coatings - special mats, sometimes called lattices belong to the first stage of protection and fit, as a rule, outside the entrance to the building and perform the most "dirty" work. They are "obliged" to clean off our shoes lumps of mud, stones and other unnecessary items that are not recommended to carry with him into the room. Such lattices have an ulterior motive cellular structure - empty cell in the form of fish scales, rhombus, hexagon should be filled with dirt. The more it happens the better. Hence, the mat well "worked" during the day. Coatings used on the first section can be divided into two groups: - coarse coating of rubber profile "Wave", reinforced by elements of a durable composite material make it possible to clean the shoes of snow, mud, shallow litter, pebble. Our new development of this coating allows for the changing mode of operation of the modern mega-centers, and makes effective use of cover in areas with high cross. - Modular pokrytiyasostoyaschie of individual elements are connected to each other with special locks, that allows to produce coatings of different sizes and configurations are relatively easy to replace damaged parts. Placed covering the first section of the street directly in front of the building or in the lobbies, vestibules. Reliability of coating material of this group is determined by the modules and the construction of the castle compound. Metallorezinovye lattice in the general case - is a set of zigzag bands of elastic material, riveted to the transverse metal strips. Compared with the materials of the previous group have significantly greater mass and lower maintainability. Objective assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of gryazezaschity produced by different companies is possible only after a lengthy and costly comparative trials. It is logical to assume that gryazeuderzhivayuschie cover, made in Finland and Scandinavia, are more suitable for use in the climatic conditions of Russia, than the system developed in Central Europe or the USA. Lattices have a variety of configurations and provide for the detention of large fractions of the mud, snow and water. Different color modules allow you to create coatings with any interest you with ornaments, but you can if you wish to make a pattern with the logo of your company. Often cover the first level are placed in the pit. Coarse coatings are especially needed in areas with snowy winters. The height of these coatings range from 2 cm to 5 cm, and often has a heater and a sink. In the Russian market covering the Level 1 well represented - from cheap rubber to complex aluminum structures. Sometimes it is recommended to use modular cover. Their length should be at least 1,5 m. With the market offers? Modular (mobile) Dirt Coating "Estival" consists of separate elements (modules) are connected to each other with special locks, that allows to produce coatings of different sizes and configurations, as well as relatively easy to replace damaged parts, to form coatings with logos, slogans. Modular lattice "Estival" is designed for equipment entrance areas of any premises. This is an effective treatment that removes the large and medium fractions of dirt on Levels 1 and 2 gryazezaschity. Can be used both indoors and outdoors. Hexagonal structure of this coating works in all directions for pedestrians. Through holes allow dirt to fall down, do not accumulate on the surface. One sqm cover holds up to 10 kg of mud. Modular Dirt cover Oryx - covering consisting of individual modules (390h52h14 mm), which allows you to assemble the carpet of any desired size and configuration, as well as to combine the color or picture on the cover image. Application areas: the porch, vestibule, balcony, patio, garage, utility room, production room, etc. Main objectives: maximum clean dirt from shoe soles save the floor from premature repairs prevent injuries on wet and slippery surface gives the input bright gaiety Operating Conditions: Like a pit or on a smooth floor surface must lie up cylindrical outgrowths, as in this situation by passive purification of the tread is not allowed to release coating of ice with a crowbar, knife and other similar items to clean the cover from the frozen mud enough to pour it with water and shake or roll to roll radius of not less than 70 cm As the size of the cells, the carpet should turn off and flush from under his dirty carpet clean water differs from similar imported: Cheaper resistant to temperatures of our climate has a patented shape of the surface material is adapted to street operation Reliable protection from dirt and dust - the access flooring company "Verimpex" (Belgium). Designed for use both indoors and outdoors. Nylon bristles removes liquid mud, sand, gravel and washes the dust from the shoes. Put the cover can be a special frame made of aluminum or brass on the floor or in a special holder. The capacity of the Belgian flooring - from 500 to 5000 people a day for daily use in 5-10 years. Floor coverings are essential in places frequented by people actively (banks, shops, restaurants, theaters, etc.). Coating not only cleans shoes, but also reduce wear on all types of floors. Floor coverings are easy to clean with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Coatings are designed for all weather conditions. Manufactured in different colors, patterns and sizes on request. Coverage Braider - rolled cover with spiral-shaped structure made of special vinyl without foundation resistant to deformation - elastic spiral act as schischaya brush dirt from shoes. Street and tambour Stripe coating of aluminum with different types of inserts to protect the premises from the snow and mud, as well as visitors from slipping. Street and tambour cover Wave ("The Wave") made of aluminum and rubber to protect the premises from the snow and mud. Street and tambour covering scraper made of aluminum for protection against mud and snow. Super Dirt Pile coverage on rubber base to protect the entrance. Coarse rubber coating Prestige for extreme loads and severe pollution. Coarse rubber coating Rubberhole, Rubbersell, Starter. "Cell" coverage of modular type. The company EMCO Bau-and Klimatechnik GmbH & Co. KG set the original decision to make it more attractive entrances and security of people, for more than 30 years. In recent years, the range was extended to include a prefabricated Coir carpeting going to meet individual requirements and design to customers of the private sector. Undoubtedly, the advantage of coir coatings, in comparison with conventional products, the direction of coir coatings. Best with the task of cleaning shoes at this level of protection to cope aluminum construction, mixed with bristles, grooved rubber. But the cost of such coatings is fairly high. Therefore, the most popular due to the relatively inexpensive price, ease of assembly and operation, as well as high durability and quality of treatment, use the modular cover. For the manufacture of modular coverings used different materials, different from each other, both in durability and for a range of operating temperatures. Lattice (net) coatings used in the first stage gryazezaderzhaniya are urged to be laid in the pit, made to fit coverage and the depth of the pit must exactly match the thickness of the grating. Only in this case, a long service life and excludes the possibility of injury. If for some reason the device pit proves impossible, the edges of the lattice should be edged around the perimeter of the metal profile with the angle of ascent is not more than 30 degrees. For objects with a high level of attendance (supermarkets, sports facilities, etc.) recommended placement of lattice coverings in a heated zone (air) and equipment pits drainage system, which allows to remove not only water but liquid mud. The second stage assume "large-caliber" mud left behind from shoes when passing through an obstacle course in the form of modular carpets. But on the soles still remained some sand and small debris. Then cover the fight take the second step: the vestibule (hallway, lobby) coming meets vinyl cover - Elastic loopy mats that because of some resemblance with pasta figuratively called "noodles." Systems gryazezaschity second stage - a collapsible rugs with rubber or textile cleaning inlays, which are planted in the aluminum profile. In addition, they can be equipped with optional aluminum or brush cleaning elements depending on the locality where the facility is located. Fit inside the premises (lobbies, hall) immediately after the entrance vestibule or outside. And, oddly enough, they have the greatest impact on the effectiveness of the protection system, "catching" from 60 to 90% of the dirt. The task of carpet material in this case - to keep the maximum amount of dirt and moisture, without passing through the substrate. Made various modifications of the coatings are intended for use in areas with high, medium and low attendance .. They are arranged so that overdue fine grains of sand: they pass through, and fail down. This means that in building the sand does not fade away. The main advantage of these coatings - flawlessly performing "watchdog" service that they require almost no care. Enough to shake out, wipe with a damp cloth and wash the floor beneath them. An important detail - for these lattices necessarily require a pit, where it will gather dirt scraped off with a shoe. In addition, the market offers design, equipped with a reservoir, which collects dirt, and then from there goes down the drain. That the market offers? Company Milliken has developed a completely new set of products, called Milliken Obeks, which translated from Latin means "barrier." This concept offers a solution to any problems with the coatings at the entrance. The collection is a manufacturer of several types of products: "Pryor", "Form", "Atrium" and "Atrium Plus. They were invented to extend the choice of architectural styles at the entrance from the street and indoors. "Pryor is the first level of protection from street dirt and can be installed even in industrial areas. "Form" - the second level of protection from dirt, which can be used in combination with priority and is selected by size and shape. Atrium is convenient for installation in hallways and areas of high terrain, which requires textile coir system. Atrium and Atrium Plus - this is the third level of protection from dirt. They are ideal for use in areas of intense cross-contamination and high - trading halls, elevators, etc. The third step to covering the third stage include pile of dust and Desiccant carpets designed for final cleaning of footwear and the protection of ground floor coverings (parquet, linoleum, stone) from premature wear. Gryazezaderzhivayuschih device coatings of the third stage - preferably, but not required element of the system, and depends both on the "pass" load and on the requirements for cleanliness and appearance of the room. Stacked coverage of the third stage in the lobbies and staircases, directly on the ground surface and not attached to it in any way, because their base (usually vinyl) provides sufficient resistance to shear force in the movement of people. Coatings of this type are made of nylon, vinyl or composite materials. They differ from the original texture of carpet pile, not only allows you to hold a large amount of sand and moisture, but also easy to 'give up' with them in the cleaning process. Different data coverage and a special substrate, which not only securely locks the carpet to the floor, but do not miss the mud. Forced to fix (using the rings and rods) mats need only to stairs. Depending on the characteristics of the material and the density of pile carpets are divided into several categories: for areas with high and average attendance, pylepogloschayuschie for indoor use, etc. Pylevlagopogloschayuschie coatings consist of two parts. Bottom - Vinyl top - the pile. Vinyl base is not "released" the dirt out and makes the mat to slide on the marble or tile floor. Therefore, the mat is as stuck, and it should not be specifically fixed. With regard to pile cover, the more often it is presented in combination "nylon and polypropylene. Both materials complement each other well. Dense Nylon-propylene pile keeps this "cocktail" at the bottom of coverage, not allowing him to "pour out" outside. In polypropylene generally docile nature - it is good "gets along" with the salt, which is sprinkled on the street, it is resistant to aggressive environments and chemical cleaning. So, to sum up some three-tier system should be removed from the footwear of visitors maximum amount of dirt.
