Advance Creates Safe Entrance for Auckland Mall with Axis Matting

Advance Flooring's Axis entrance matting has been successfully used in the entry areas in Auckland’s newest mall, NorthWest.

Proudly designed by The Buchan Group, NorthWest heralds the next generation for retail centres, both in planning and ambience.

The keenly anticipated opening was attended by 50,000 people on the opening day alone, and thousands more visited over the following days and weeks. Handling this vast quantity of people with ease was Axis Entrance Matting from Advance Flooring.

Axis is an interlocking modular entrance matting system with highly water-absorbent, intense wear infills. The modular design allows the tiles to be cut to shape and size on site for easy installation.

The safety of Axis matting is optimum. It is anti-slip in all conditions, specially designed to eliminate heel traps, and is wheelchair compliant when used with the correct matwell system.

Axis entrance matting is ideal for use in entranceways with high-density foot traffic, such as shops, malls, hotels, offices, hospitals, airports and schools.
