Sticky Mats™ Starter Kit

Sticky Mats™ Starter Kit

Stop tracking jobsite dust into clean spaces. The Sticky Mats™ Starter Kit gives your crew everything it needs to protect one entry point: one non-slip Sticky Mat tray and one 24″ x 36″ blue adhesive mat made up of 30 sticky sheets with number tabs. Each sheet pulls dust, drywall powder, and debris off work boots. When the top layer gets dirty, you peel it off and a fresh surface is ready underfoot.

💡 The last line of defense at the door. Your containment walls stop airborne dust, but every trip through the zipper door carries fine particulate out on boot soles. A Sticky Mat at the threshold catches it before it reaches finished floors, carpet, or occupied areas.

Sticky Mats™ Features and Benefits

What’s in the Kit: One Tray, One 30-Sheet Mat

Every starter kit includes one non-slip tray and one adhesive mat with 30 numbered sticky sheets. The tray holds the mat flat and steady at the doorway, and it stays on the job after the last sheet is gone. As a result, you buy the tray once and simply drop in new mats as you need them.

🌑 Don’t run out mid-project. One mat covers 30 peels, and busy doorways burn through sheets fast. Order the Sticky Mats™ Refill Pack with your starter kit. It includes four additional 30-sheet adhesive mats (120 total sheets) that fit your starter kit tray.

30 Numbered Tacky Sheets

The mat stacks 30 adhesive layers, and each sheet carries a number tab. Your foreman knows exactly how many sheets remain and can reorder refills before the doorway goes unprotected.

Peel-and-Refresh Maintenance

Forget mopping or vacuuming the entryway. When a sheet loads up with dust, pull it off by the tab and a clean tacky surface is ready in seconds. Crews keep moving, and the entry point stays clean all shift.

High-Tack, Non-Transferring Adhesive

Each sheet is 1.8 mil LDPE film coated with a water-based, solvent-free acrylic/rubber adhesive. The tack grabs drywall dust, concrete grit, and sawdust off boot treads, yet the adhesive is non-transferring, so it won’t leave residue on footwear.

Floor-Lock Base That Stays Put

The bottom of the mat uses a double-coated 5 mil LDPE backing. Peel the release liner, press the mat into the tray, and it locks down without shifting, curling, or bunching. Consequently, busy doorways stay free of sliding mats and trip hazards.

Made in the USA

Sticky Mats™ are made in the USA. The starter kit also appears in Americover’s Buy America compliant products category, which helps government and infrastructure buyers keep submittals simple.

🌱 Ideal for: General contractors, remodelers, restoration and remediation crews, abatement contractors, facility managers, and cleanroom operators.

Why Entryway Dust Control Matters on Active Jobsites

Foot traffic moves more dust out of a work zone than most crews realize. Drywall sanding, demolition, and flooring removal leave fine particulate on every surface, and boots carry it straight through the containment door. From there, it spreads down hallways, into HVAC returns, and across finished floors.

In occupied buildings, that tracked dust turns into client complaints, extra cleaning labor, and callbacks. Hospitals, offices, schools, and lived-in homes all expect the work area to stay contained. Therefore, a tacky mat at the threshold is one of the simplest, lowest-cost ways to protect the clean side of the job.

💰 Cheaper than cleanup. A sticky mat at the door costs far less than the labor to re-clean finished floors and occupied areas, or the callback when a client finds white powder down the hallway.

Common Applications for Sticky Mats

• Containment zone entrances during drywall sanding, demolition, and flooring removal
• Occupied commercial remodels, including offices, retail spaces, and hotels
• Healthcare facility renovations as one layer of the facility’s dust-control plan
• Residential remodels, kitchens, and bathrooms where the family still lives in the home
• Water damage restoration and mold remediation work areas
• Abatement and remediation exit points, alongside required decontamination procedures
• Cleanrooms, laboratories, pharmaceutical, and food processing facilities
• Schools, classrooms, and office spaces during maintenance or tenant improvements

🌑 Need to mask walls around the work zone? For fast wall protection, use Rapid Wall Cover™ Pre-Taped Poly. The tape comes attached to the poly, so your crew covers walls without juggling separate rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the Sticky Mats Starter Kit?

The starter kit includes one non-slip tray and one blue 24 x 36 inch adhesive mat. The mat consists of 30 sticky sheets with number tabs, so you always know how many sheets remain.

How do I get more sticky mats after the starter kit runs out?

Order the Sticky Mats™ Refill Pack, which includes four additional 30-sheet adhesive mats for 120 total sheets. The refill mats fit the tray from your starter kit, so there is nothing new to set up.

What are sticky mats used for on a construction site?

Sticky mats pull dust, drywall powder, and debris off the soles of work boots at entry and exit points. Placed at a containment doorway or building entrance, they keep crews from tracking contaminants into clean or occupied areas.

How do you use a sticky mat?

Peel the bottom release liner and press the mat into the tray. When the top sheet looks loaded with dust, peel it off using the numbered tab to expose a fresh layer.

💡 Pro tip: When the tab numbers get into the single digits, place your refill order. That way, a fresh mat is on site before the last sheet comes off.

How often should you change a sticky mat sheet?

It depends on foot traffic and how dusty the work is. Peel a sheet once the surface is visibly coated or stops grabbing debris; heavy demo or sanding days call for more frequent changes.

Can you put a sticky mat on carpet?

The adhesive backing is designed to hold on most hard-surface floors. For carpeted entries, call our team at 800-747-6095 before you install so we can recommend the right setup.

Are Americover Sticky Mats BABA-compliant?

The Sticky Mats™ Starter Kit is listed in Americover’s Buy America compliant products category. If your project requires documentation for a submittal, contact sales@americover.com and our team can help you get the paperwork.

Do sticky mats replace poly containment or shoe covers?

No. Sticky mats work as one layer of a dust control plan, alongside poly containment walls, zipper doors, air filtration, and shoe covers where required. They catch what foot traffic carries out; they do not stop airborne dust.
