Are you looking to improve accessibility at your historic sites without major construction work or altering their authenticity?

Mobi-Mat® is the ideal solution for the surroundings of castles, museums, and heritage sites.

Thanks to its non-slip properties and compliance with accessibility laws, this pathway mat guarantees comfort and safety for visitors while protecting building interiors from dust and dirt.

The Importance of Accessibility in Cultural Venues

Today, making culture accessible to everyone is a major priority. Castles, museums, and other historical monuments must welcome all visitors, including those with reduced mobility, families with strollers, and seniors using walkers.

• ADA Compliance: In the United States, public facilities must meet strict accessibility standards. Mobi-Mat® offers a flat surface without steps, complying with accessibility requirements.
• Comfort for All: Gravel paths, cobblestones, or uneven surfaces can present obstacles for many visitors. With a Mobi-Mat® pathway, everyone enjoys a smooth and pleasant journey.

Preserving Heritage by Preventing Dust

Historic sites often face a challenge: how to welcome the public while protecting interiors from dust?

• Dust Reduction: Mobi-Mat® covers gravel paths or irregular slabs, significantly limiting the dust brought in by visitors’ footsteps.
• Respect for Authenticity: Mobi-Mat® mats are discreet, easy to install and remove. They blend harmoniously without detracting from the site’s aesthetics.
• Long-term Protection: Limiting dust not only preserves floors and exhibited collections but also the sometimes centuries-old walls and vaults of these listed monuments.

More than just a simple covering, the Mobi-Mat® pathway stands out for its robustness and modularity.

• Quick Installation: It takes just minutes to deploy and adjust the mat according to the terrain configuration.
• Adaptability: Mobi-Mat® adapts to various surfaces (gravel, cobblestones, grass, sand, etc.) and is adjustable according to the desired length and width.
• Simple Maintenance: Weather-resistant, the mat is easily cleaned and can be stored or moved as needed (temporary exhibitions, reorganization, etc.).
