The Mat & Ball urinal screen combines patented technology and over 20 years of expertise in the worldwide urinal space.
Designed to be compatible with most urinal sizes and using proprietary EVA materials, the Urinal Mat & Ball provides quadruple action, delivering a range of powerful fragrances, reduced splash back, interchangeable biological action and malodour control.
Unlike most other urinal screens, the Mat & Ball adopts the removable Power-Ball, which delivers a secondary fragrance action and gives customers the ability to replace the core biological element of the screen on demand. Thus removing the need to dispose of the entire urinal screen until fragrance is fully depleted.
The Urinal Mat & Ball Screen was developed to be fully compatible with both flushing and waterless urinal variants and provides up to 60 day performance.

WHY CHOOSE WHIFFAWAY’S URINAL SCREENS
Odour Control
Surface odours commonly harboured above the urinal bowl are tackled by a patented malodour counteractant, embedded into both our proprietary EVA material and removable Urinal Power-Ball.
The malodour counteractant does not mask these odours and is control released on each use to help overcome this issue at source.
Airflow
The patented design of the Power-Ball allows air into the system from the top to control fluid dynamics.
Not only does this allow the urinal to self vent; it speeds up general flow and controls the amount of biological dosage, thus avoiding saturation and maximising the lifespan.
Debris
A purpose made design to catch debris such as cigarette ends, hair, chewing gum and other foreign matter at source for ease of cleaning.
Subject to correct placement and routine cleaning practices taking place, this minimises the chance of superficial blockages and prevents debris entering the plumbing system.
Blockage Control
The Power-Ball biological block contains a carrier for various elements of the consortia to survive before an alternative food source is provided; the alternative food source being scale, sludge and uric acid build-up often within waste pipework and traps.
Life Cycle Management
Urinal Mat & Ball Screens are produced in a range of colours to assist those in managing change cycles and to determine end of life patterns.
Non Hazardous
All components of the Mat & Power-Ball are classified non-hazardous in accordance with COSHH Risk Assessments and are proven to perform successfully on contact, without having a detrimental effect on performance and the surrounding Eco-System.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Urinal Screens?
Just like with flush urinals, urinal screens for waterless urinals help prevent debris, such as paper, gum, or other waste, from entering the urinal drain. This helps to maintain proper functionality and prevents clogs in the plumbing system.
Urinal screens can make maintenance tasks for waterless urinals more manageable. By trapping debris and preventing it from accumulating in the urinal bowl, screens help reduce the frequency of cleaning and servicing required for waterless urinals.
Overall, urinal screens for waterless urinals play a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness, odour control, and functionality in restroom facilities while complementing the water-saving benefits of waterless urinal systems.
What are the long term benefits of using Urinal Screens
Urinal screens help prevent debris buildup in the urinal bowl, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and foul odours. This contributes to maintaining a cleaner and more hygienic washroom environment over time.
Waterless urinals typically require less maintenance compared to traditional flush urinals. By using urinal screens to prevent debris from entering the urinal bowl, maintenance tasks such as cleaning and servicing can be further minimised, resulting in cost savings over the long term.
Waterless urinals already offer environmental benefits by conserving water. When combined with urinal screens to reduce maintenance needs, the overall environmental footprint of restroom operations can be reduced further.
What are the disadvantages of using urinal screens?
In some cases, urinal screens may interfere with the functionality of waterless urinals and flushing urinals alike. If the screen obstructs the flow of urine into the urinal drain or causes splashing, it could lead to maintenance issues or user dissatisfaction.
While urinal screens are designed to help control odours in waterless urinals, they can sometimes become saturated with urine or other substances, leading to odour retention. If not properly maintained, screens may contribute to unpleasant smells in the restroom.
Urinal screens require cleaning and regular replacement to remain effective. If not cleaned frequently enough, they can become soiled or discoloured, detracting from the appearance of the restroom and potentially reducing their odour-control capabilities.
How can I create an odourless public toilet environment?
Creating an odourless public toilet environment with waterless urinals requires careful planning, proper installation, and consistent maintenance.
Maintenance staff must be trained on the proper care and maintenance of waterless urinals, including how to clean and replace consumables like urinal screens.
Furthermore, using additional odour control products, such as air fresheners,odour-neutralising sprays or fragranced urinal screens, can help to maintain a fresh scent in the washroom. Place these products strategically throughout the restroom to ensure even coverage.
What are some techniques for reducing urinal splashback?
Ensure that the urinals are installed at the correct height and angle to optimise user comfort and minimise splashing. Proper positioning can help direct urine flow more effectively and reduce the likelihood of splashback.
Installing fragranced urinal screens in urinals can help break up urine streams and reduce splashing. Choose screens with designs that help distribute urine evenly across the urinal surface, minimising the impact of urine hitting the urinal bowl itself.
Keep your urinals clean and free of debris to prevent splashing caused by obstructions or buildup in the urinal bowl. Implement a regular cleaning schedule to ensure that the urinals are cleaned thoroughly and any accumulated debris is removed.
