While you spend most of your day on your feet, your and countless co-workers’ and customers’ feet are constantly on the floor of your building. It is extremely damaging for floors and carpets to have all those feet, all those shoes, and all the moisture, dirt, mud, and other substances they carry with them. Additionally, they create serious safety hazards that can result in costly claims and disruptions. Then, Industrial Rubber Matting plays an important role in that.

It is therefore crucial to pay attention to the mats and coverings that you use in and around your building’s high-traffic areas. Mats that absorb moisture and scrape dirt are made specifically to stand up to all those shoes.

These floor mats are some of the best for high-traffic areas:

Entrance Mats

The areas of any facility that see the most foot traffic are different, but one high-traffic area is common to all buildings, facilities, stores, or offices: the entrance. All businesses need to have mats at their entrances, and there should also be a mat outside that scrapes the bottoms of shoes and removes dirt before visitors enter the building.

There are many types of carpet entrance mats available on the market today, from plush Carpet Mats to the Berber Supreme Entrance Mats and the nubby Waterhog Mats. All of these carpet entrance mats effectively and aggressively remove dirt and water from the soles of shoes while retaining their residue until the mat can be disposed of.

It is best to use Rubber Matting in harsh weather and areas with high foot traffic. Rubber Scraper Mats with special holes (think snow and ice) are good choices. Rubber Pronged Mats and Corrugated Rubber Runner Mats are also good choices for hard floors such as ceramic or stone tiles, as they offer a bit of traction and sound dampening.

Commercial Kitchen Mats

Kitchens with a lot of activity throughout the day not only see a lot of people in constant motion, but they are also full of food, liquids, and other items that can quickly get soaked, slippery, and greasy. It is important to have industrial and commercial kitchen floor mats in order to increase traction and prevent falls.

Kitchen Mats for restaurants are ideal single commercial drain mats made from a durable rubber compound. They are designed with alternating large and small holes in the rubber compound. As well as channeling drainage and debris from the worker platform, the raised pattern surrounding the large holes provides excellent traction for kitchen workers.

Runner Mats

Rubber runner mats are perfect for halls and corridors that see a lot of foot traffic or equipment traffic. Examples include our Versa Runner Mat, Knob Top Runner Mat, and Corrugated Rubber Runner Mat.

Mats are a simple, effective, and inexpensive way to keep high-traffic areas cleaner, lower maintenance costs, extend the useful life of your floors, and make your place of business safer for employees and visitors alike.
