Camp Nou Welcomes Techem’s Heavy‑Duty Aluminum Doormats

A Success Story in Stadium Entrance Solutions

When FC Barcelona’s legendary Camp Nou stadium began modernising its public access areas, the brief was clear: install entrance systems that guarantee safety for 98 000 spectators, protect delicate interior flooring and underline the club’s premium image. Techem answered the call with a tailor‑made system of aluminum doormats—also known as aluminum entrance mats—engineered for extreme traffic loads and Mediterranean weather conditions.

Challenge

High footfall: Up to 3 million visitors a year

Climate exposure: Intense sun, sudden cloudbursts, wind‑borne sand

Aesthetic continuity: The new mats had to reflect Barça’s brand and the stadium’s architectural redesign

Techem’s Solution

Custom Design Workshops: Techem’s R&D team co‑created a modular grid of heavy‑duty aluminum doormats with FC Barcelona’s architects, optimising scraper bars and textile inserts for maximum dirt retention.

Precision Manufacturing: Profiles were extruded from recycled aluminium.

Sustainability & Safety: Closed‑loop aluminium, non‑VOC adhesives and slip‑resistance certified to EN 13893 deliver both green credentials and player safety—even on rainy derby nights.

Results

97 % reduction in tracked‑in dirt (independent audit, first three months)

25 % lower annual cleaning costs for concourses and VIP lounges

Zero slip incidents since commissioning (18 months, 46 home games)

Brand boost: Visitors consistently cite the “premium feel” of the anodised aluminum mats in post‑match surveys

With this iconic reference project, Techem has set a new European benchmark for large‑scale aluminum doormat installations in sports arenas.
