A wedge edge is a bevelled transition strip that runs along the exposed side of a mat. It brings the surface of the mat down to the floor at an angle so people walking on and off the mat do not catch a toe on the vertical edge.
Who a wedge edge is for
Buyers who are installing a roll-out or drop-in mat system in the middle of an open room — a wrestling room with mats that do not run wall to wall, a BJJ academy with a padded competition square inside a larger training bay, a school gym that stores its mats to one side and rolls them out for class. Anywhere the mat has an exposed edge that people walk across, a wedge edge turns a step-up into a ramp.
What it does
The tall side of the wedge sits flush with the top of the mat. The thin side tapers to the floor. Athletes and coaches can walk on and off the mat without lifting their feet, and rolling equipment — laundry carts, first-aid kits, cleaning machines — can cross the edge without catching.
How it ships and installs
Wedge edges ship in straight lengths. They lay against the exposed side of the mat and can be trimmed to fit with a utility knife. Corners are mitred on-site.
What to know before ordering
The wedge has to match the height of the mat it sits next to, so the top of the wedge and the top of the mat form one continuous surface. Order the wedge at the same time as the mat and specify the mat thickness.
Specifications
Length per piece, mat-side height, bevel angle, material and colour are all matched to the mat system the wedge borders, so they are specified with the mat on your quote. Order the wedge alongside the roll-out or drop-in system it edges and give the mat thickness.
FAQ
Do wedge edges need to be glued down?
Whether the wedge is loose-lay or bonded is confirmed with your order and depends on the mat system it borders.
Can I cut them to length on-site?
Yes — wedge edges trim with a utility knife, and corners are mitred on-site.
Do they come in the same colours as the mats?
Colour is matched to the mat system on your quote.
Which mat systems do they fit?
Wedge edges are ordered to match a specific roll-out or drop-in system and mat thickness; the fit is confirmed on the quote.
Order
Wedge edges are ordered with the mat system they border. Send the mat system and thickness and the ATX Mats team will spec the wedge to match: request a quote.
