What Floor Mats Should I Buy: Commercial Buildings

A good first impression is crucial for commercial businesses. No potential customer, client, or business associate wants to walk through a door to see a dirty, dingy entranceway leading to their destination. The right entrance and carpet mats go a long way toward keeping these spaces clean and creating a good initial impression at the door.

Why Commercials Spaces Need Floor Mats

So exactly how can floor mats clean up a messy entrance? Three reasons:

  • Cleanliness
  • Floor protection
  • Identification

A dirty floor is not a good first step toward impressing people. Quality entrance mats and wall-to-wall vestibule tiles help entrances and the surrounding spaces look good during every season. These products are designed to scrape off debris while people walk inside, keeping unsightly substances and slippery puddles off your clean floors.

Another major benefit of commercial floor mats and vestibule tiles is that they act as a shield for your floors. Regular foot traffic can grind debris like rock salt and other substances into your floors, leaving permanent scrapes and scuffs. Floor mats are designed to take a beating so that your floors don’t have to, saving you from replacing your floor or living with the damage.

Commercial floor mats can also serve as another way to greet the people entering your building. Logo mats are another way to incorporate your branding throughout your building, adding an extra level of professionalism to your entrances. These mats can also be customized with special messages, giving you some ability to get creative in addition to keeping your floors safe and clean.

What Floor Mats Should I Buy: Educational Buildings

Every school day, students head to their various grade schools, high schools, colleges, and other institutions to get a good education. These same students also track in water, dirt, and debris that can turn your building into mess.

Fortunately, floor mats are a quick and easy way to help you protect your entrances and hallways while providing students, teachers, and other people with a nice, safe place to walk. Different floor mats can provide a variety of benefits for schools and other educational buildings. Here’s a quick guide on what to consider when looking for floor mats for your spaces.

Why Educational Buildings Need Floor Mats

Good floor mats can play a variety of roles. There are three major ways that floor mats can improve an educational facility.

  • Cleanliness
  • Floor protection
  • Identification

Just because it’s been raining or snowing doesn’t mean that your entrances and hallways must be dirty. Entrance mats are designed to prevent the spread of dirt and debris from incoming students, parents, and teachers. Good mats and carpet-like tiles can wipe and scrape away mud, snow, or various debris found outside to ensure it stays on the matting and not on your clean floors.

Safety is another important issue, both in terms of protecting your floors and the people in your building. The presence of water, mud, and other substances create a slippery surface for people going in and out of your building. Absorbent matting products will suck up water and snow so that you can avoid harmful injuries and potential lawsuits caused by slips and falls. Various debris can also chip and scuff away at your floors, causing unsightly damage over time. Quality mats serve as a shield between your floors and wipe off substances that could harm your surfaces.

Floor mats are also a great opportunity for branding and messaging. Attractive logo mats can serve a dual purpose by keeping your floors clean and safe while creating a lasting impression through a school logo or some important message, such as a wet floor caution or a simple welcome.
