With excellent visual appeal

Sahara Wave is a scraper walk-off entrance mat designed for high-traffic areas in large and medium-sized buildings – such as entrances, stairwells, kitchenettes, elevators and emergency exits. Sand and dirt that would otherwise be walked in are retained by Sahara Wave walk-off carpeting. Highly recommended for situations without an outside mat.

Sahara Wave walk-off entrance carpeting both absorbs and releases sand well. The mat can be effectively cleaned with a regular vacuum cleaner. In terms of visual appeal, this mat scores 4.5 out of 5.

Sahara Wave yarn is thermally fixed and has a linear pattern with a large number of scraper segments. Sahara Wave scores 3 for sand absorption. The highest score, as confirmed by an independent laboratory.

Sahara Wave walk-off entrance carpeting is made of ECONYL® nylon, 100% made from waste that would otherwise pollute the Earth. The mat is wear-resistant, even under heavy, intensive foot traffic (use classification 33). This entrance mat also meets the highest fire safety requirement, Bfl-s1.

Design
The melange yarns – used here in combination with hard, black scraper fibre – soften Sahara Wave’s rugged, striped pattern. As with Sahara, the dark base is relieved with a sparkle of colour. Two beautiful shades of brown distinguish this collection, suggesting wood in both their pattern and melange. The colour contrast emphasises the stripe in the red and blue colour schemes, while in the two grey colour schemes this emphasis recedes, allowing you to control the introduction of an additional texture or pattern.

Pura Backing™

Pura Backing™ makes walk-off entrance mats more sustainable by avoiding the use of PVC and plasticisers. It’s the response to increasing demand by commercial and residential decorators for environmental sensitivity and sustainability, down to the last details – even when it comes to entrance mats. Mats with Pura Backing™ meet this requirement – with zero PVC and plasticiser content, avoiding stains on porous subfloors. Thanks to increased flexibility, it is even easier to install!

Made from ECONYL® regenerated nylon

ECONYL® nylon is made from 100% waste material like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpeting and industrial plastic, which would otherwise pollute the earth. ECONYL® regenerated nylon is processed into yarns for interior applications. Rinos uses ECONYL® yarns to create more sustainable products and a better environment. Every square metre of walk-off mat made with ECONYL® instead of virgin nylon saves more than 5 kg eq CO2 emissions.
