Using entrance mats or Outdoor Matting, you can prevent contaminants from entering the building because they scrape contaminants off shoes and wheels and prevent them from being spread to the interior flooring of your building. The entrance mats collect contaminants and prevent them from being transferred from outside onto the flooring of the building’s interior.

If you’re new to commercial floor mats, there’s an art and a science to selecting the right ones.

Essentially, you’ll want to consider the following:

  • What will the mat be used for? What should be the location?
  • What will be the traffic volume?
  • Does it expect to receive a lot of traffic?
  • Are you looking for a mat that will collect dirt or water?
  • Choosing which kinds of mats you need should be done first, followed by considerations such as color, design, and/or eco-friendliness.

A logical idea would be to actually examine the layout of the floor or building, so you can decide where the mats should be placed. Over 80% of the dirt that comes into a building comes from the shoes of people.

The best way to reduce that amount of dirt coming in is to use floor mats — and lots of them. There are too many types to list them all here, but here are a few recommendations.

Entrance Mats

Mats are definitely needed at all entrances, and you should probably have an outdoor mat that scrapes the bottoms of shoes and removes dirt before someone enters.

Anti-Fatigue Mats

Whenever people stand for long periods of time, they should have anti-fatigue mats at their disposal. Rubber Matting makes employees feel better and reduce joint aches and pains, therefore reducing time lost.

Outdoor Mats

Waterhog Mats

Among the best wet-weather mats available today are Waterhog Mats. They absorb a ton of water and keep it from being tracked throughout your building in the wintertime. If you live in an area with a lot of snow, then Waterhog Mats are essential.

Chair Mats

Your employees need chair mats Chairs with wheels will damage your floor if you don’t put down a chair mat, and it will make them more productive. Have you ever tried pushing a chair across the carpet without a chair mat?

Playground Matting and chair mating can improve your office’s cleanliness, lower your maintenance costs, extend the life of your floors, and keep your employees safer. We’re all about safety in the workplace, so we offer simple and inexpensive options.
