During the stay of the Holy Belt of the Most Holy Mother of God at The Temple/Church of Saint Sava (Sveti Sava) from May 21 to June 6, a total of 916,825 visitors passed through the facility over 16 days. The inflow dynamic reached 478,000 people within the first ten days, and 576,793 by the beginning of June.
This frequency of movement generated high logistical pressure and a significant risk of mechanical floor damage due to the tracking in of moisture and abrasive particles from the street. Primary protection for the marble surfaces and mosaics was provided by Stilmat professional entrance matting systems at all entrance locations.
The system’s performance results during this period confirm the following technical capabilities:
- Structural stability: The products maintained their geometric shape and stability without any deformation under the load of nearly one million users.
- Cleaning efficiency: The systems prevented surface dirt from entering the interior, thereby protecting delicate flooring from scratching.
- Traffic safety: The anti-slip properties of the materials eliminated the risk of falls and injuries during the massive fluctuation of people.
- Proven quality: Stilmat does not make ordinary mats – but systems capable of withstanding the pressure of history. When a product successfully survives millions of steps in one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, its specifications and quality are no longer a matter of debate.
