Frontrunner SB
Solid-backed, ribbed entrance matting designed for internal and external areas without a mat well.
No mat well? No problem: Frontrunner SB is a loose lay entrance system designed to be placed directly over your existing floor coverings.
The mat’s ribbed surface scrapes shoes and wheels clean, while the grid traps and collects debris. This helps to prevent dirt being tracked inside, which helps to reduce cleaning intervals and keeps interiors looking stylish for longer.
Slip resistant, wheel-proof and heel-proof, Frontrunner SB has excellent rolling resistance, making it the ideal loose lay matting for workplaces, commercial buildings, supermarkets, and shopping centres with high foot traffic.
Installation is simple. Adhere directly to the floor to create a surface-mounted entrance walkway, or place this loose lay matting directly over your existing floor to create a slip-resistant walkway – no mat well required.

PVC edging (SB / SB+)
Supplied in rolls of 10.1m (33’) length. One tube of cold welding paste recommended for every 10m of edging. Comes in black and dark grey. Size: 6.5mm x 30mm x 60m (1/4" x 1" x 197')
PVC joining strip (SB / SB+)
Can be welded to join rolls end-to-end or side-to-side when doing large installations. Comes in black or grey. Size: 3.5mm x 3.6m (1/8" x 11'9")
Frontrunner SB's one-piece construction means installation is simple
There are two ways to install SB: you can adhere directly to the floor, or loose lay modules with PVC edging. For large installations with medium to high traffic, we recommend adhering your mat using one of the following F Ball adhesives:
Styccobond F49, a temperature-tolerant, water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive
Styccobond F41, a solvent-free acrylic polymer emulsion adhesive
Styccobond F73 PLUS, a single-pack, fibre-reinforced, moisture-curing, heavy-duty flooring adhesive
Styccobond F84, a two-part reactive epoxy adhesive designed for installing a wide range of sheet floorcoverings.
