  Hippo wins Entrance Matting of the Year

British carpet manufacturer, Heckmondwike FB, is pleased to announce it has won the Entrance Matting of the Year award, voted for by CFJ readers for its Hippo product.  Hippo is part of Heckmondwike FB’s heavy contract carpets specifically designed for entrance areas.  The range features a distinctive ribbed surface structure that acts as an ‘interceptor’ by removing excess moisture and dirt from the bottom of shoes, helping to keep the remaining floors and rooms of the building clean and dry.    The Hippo carpet range, in particular, features a rubber waffle backing which can either be fully adhered or loose laid into small areas or mat wells. Abby Chandler, Heckmondwike FB Marketing Manager comments; “We’re delighted to be awarded this great honour for the Hippo range.  For the past 40 years, we’ve been constantly striving to innovate and improve our products and the service we offer clients, contractors, architects and specifiers.  To be nominated, unprompted, by our industry peers for the Entrance Matting category is a great honour and a testament to all the hard work and dedication our team gives to the product and to the industry everyday.”
