Frontrunner SB
Solid-backed walk-off matting for interior and exterior areas without a mat well.
No mat well? No problem: Frontrunner SB is a solid-back entrance mat designed to be loose laid over your existing floor coverings.
The ribbed entrance mat 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 walk-off matting for commercial buildings, grocery stores and shopping centers with high foot traffic.
Installation is simple. Adhere directly to the floor to create a surface-mounted walk-off mat, 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 33’ (10.1m) length. One tube of cold welding paste recommended for every 33' of edging. Comes in black and dark gray. Size: 1/4" x 1" x 197' (6.5mm x 30mm x 60m)
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. Size: 1/8" x 11'9" (3.5mm x 3.6m)
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 F Ball’s Styccobond F73 PLUS, which is a single-part, heavy-duty adhesive that provides high bond strength.
