5 Tips for Kitchen Matting Safety and Functionality!
Restaurants, hotels, and other commercial properties with fully functional kitchen areas and staff are absolutely required to have kitchen mats. In addition to increasing safety and functionality in cooking, food preparation, and storage areas, these heavy-duty Floor Mats provide a variety of functions. Further, kitchen floor mats are simple to install and cost-effective to buy. Property owners can easily retrofit their kitchens and food service areas with kitchen floor mats with little investment.
Detailed instructions on how to install kitchen mats have been compiled by Industrial Store in order to help property owners and managers determine the benefits of well-planned mat installation.
Benefits of Kitchen Mats
1. Moisture and food debris management
A kitchen floor mat installation has the first benefit of reducing food debris and moisture accumulation. This creates the ideal landscape to capture food, liquids, and other debris that accumulate during operating hours. Kitchen mats are constructed from commercial grade 100% Nitrile rubber and are embossed with deep surface textures.
2. In wet areas, provide drainage
The majority of kitchen mats are manufactured with spaces for drainage. These mats are intended for use in areas where there are liquid spills or moisture accumulations. There are two common drainage styles: circular holes and horizontal slats. Oversized horizontal slats, on the other hand, provide superior drainage in most situations and are best used in areas with heavy liquid spills. Mats with circular drainage holes are perfect for areas where light to moderate liquid accumulation occurs.
3. Avoid slipping trays, plates, or glasses by lining shelves
Kitchen mats are not just for floors, however, they can also be used on shelves, drawers, and counters in food preparation areas. Rubber mats can also be used to line shelves and drawers in food preparation areas. This provides a textured surface that prevents moisture accumulation, slippage, and breakage.
A Kleen-Rite Rubber Matting is an excellent product for these types of applications. It measures just 3/32" thick and can be easily trimmed to neatly fit a variety of surfaces.
4. Floor protection for freezers
Since freezer floors are constantly exposed to frosty temperatures and heavy objects, they need protection. The best way to protect concrete freezer floors against cracks and chipping is to use heavy-duty freezer mats. Additionally, rubber matting provides traction in these icy conditions!
5. Make cart traffic easier
There are many advantages to using kitchen carts in maintaining operational proficiency. Kitchen mats now come in low-profile thicknesses to facilitate cart traffic over smooth, slippery, or uneven surfaces. In addition to offering the same level of traction and drainage as ordinary mats, these thin mats promise to keep carts moving smoothly throughout the day thanks to their thin profile.
