Description
The Perfec Clean 3/8" Rollup Mats — Rubber Hinge is a recessed walk-off mat built for the busiest commercial entrances, with one distinction from its aluminum-hinge sibling: the rubber hinge. The aluminum tread rails scrape dirt off incoming shoes and channel water and snow down into the well below, while the rubber hinge lets the system roll up quietly and flex over minor variation in the surface beneath — the right call where cleaning happens around people rather than after hours.
The construction is built for volume. Tread rails are 6063-T52 aluminum, spaced 2 inches on center with slotted holes for maximum drainage — the same heavy-duty rail system as the aluminum-hinge version. It's rated for a 400-pound-per-wheel rolling load, so carts, hand trucks, and wheeled equipment cross it without deflecting the rails. The rubber hinge connecting the rails flexes more on removal and runs quieter through the cleaning cycle. It's made in America and meets Buy American Act requirements.
It installs two ways. Recessed, it seats into a well 3/8 to 7/16 inch deep and finishes flush with the surrounding floor — the clean, continuous look a recessed mat in a tiled floor is specified for. Surface-mounted, it takes a beveled perimeter frame so the edge doesn't become a tripping hazard. The rubber hinge's extra flex also tolerates minor unevenness in the well floor that a rigid hinge wouldn't sit cleanly over. Send the measured well depth and we'll confirm the fit.
Within the recessed grate systems range, the rubber hinge is the pick for quieter, occupied spaces — healthcare corridors, hospitality during business hours, executive floors — and for wells with slight surface variation. Aluminum finish, tread insert type, and insert colors are all configurable, so the threshold reads as a deliberate design element rather than a utility mat. The aluminum rails run for decades; the tread inserts are the wear component and get replaced when they show it, without pulling the system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be recessed or surface-mounted, and what depth does the well need?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Both. Recessed, the well should be 3/8 to 7/16 inch deep so the mat finishes flush with the surrounding floor. Surface-mounted, you add a beveled perimeter frame so the raised edge doesn't create a tripping hazard. The rubber hinge gives a little extra tolerance for minor unevenness in the well floor. If the well is already built, send the measured depth and we'll confirm the fit; if it's still in design, plan it to the 3/8-to-7/16-inch range.
What's the cleaning routine, and how long does it last?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Daily surface sweeping or vacuuming keeps loose debris off the rails; deeper cleaning means lifting the system out, clearing the well underneath, and setting it back — the rubber hinge rolls up quietly and tolerates more variation in the surface beneath during that cycle. The aluminum rail structure runs 15 to 20 years at moderate-traffic installations; the tread inserts are the wear component and get replaced every three to seven years depending on traffic and debris exposure.
When should I choose the rubber hinge over the aluminum one?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Pick the rubber hinge where quiet matters or the floor isn't perfectly even. It rolls up with less mechanical noise, which is the difference-maker in spaces cleaned while occupied — healthcare corridors, hotels during business hours, executive offices — and it flexes to sit cleanly over minor variation in the well floor that a rigid aluminum hinge would bridge awkwardly. Choose the aluminum hinge instead when you want maximum structural guidance during the lift cycle.
What finish and insert options are available, and does it look industrial?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Aluminum finish, tread insert type, and insert colors are all configurable, so the read is yours to set. Neutral inserts in matching tones look quiet and refined; contrast or color-blocked inserts make the threshold a design feature; scraping-style inserts lean functional. The visible aluminum rails between insert bands give an architectural, intentional look that suits corporate, hospitality, and institutional entrances — it only reads industrial if you spec it that way. Send your palette and we'll lay out the combinations.
