In Autumn 2021, MultiMatts Ltd was contacted by Ashridge House, a renowned country estate in Hertfordshire, UK, celebrated for its picturesque wedding and conference venue. The estate sought a practical solution to create a temporary car park for visitors during the colder, wetter months, with a key focus on protecting the existing ground from damage.
To meet these requirements, we supplied and delivered 600 Heavy Duty Access Mats—specifically E-Mats and EuroMats—paired with a Woven Geotextile Membrane to ensure a flat and stable base prior to installation. This combination provided a durable and mud-free surface capable of supporting frequent use by medium and heavy-duty vehicles.
Our team also offered a professional installation service, ensuring the mats were expertly laid out across the designated area. Ashridge House was extremely satisfied with the result, as the mats successfully maintained the site’s aesthetics and functionality, offering a clean and accessible parking solution for their guests.
