Why all the squealing about entrance matting?

Quality floor matting is all about protection-protection against your visitors slipping and falling, protection of floor finishes and protection against liability claims. These pain points all have the potential to carry a cost that far exceeds that of simply purchasing new, quality commercial floor mats. Think about it. Without quality entrance matting guarding the entrance to your facility, more dirt gets in and transcends into additional, unnecessary expenses:

• 80% of all dirt tracked into a building is a result of foot traffic. New Pig entrance matting reduces this at the point of entry and significantly reduces cleaning costs.

• Dirt wreaks havoc on carpets and hard flooring surfaces. Without quality floor matting capturing the majority of dirt upon entry, carpet and hard flooring need replacement more frequently.

• Compensation packages for employees or visitors who slip and fall due to the lack of quality entrance mats can be quite costly not only now, but for years to come!

• Inferior entry mats have limited effectiveness, tend to look shabby and need replacing more often than quality entrance matting.

Welcome visitors to your facility the right way! New Pig commercial entry mats are highly fashionable and look great while capturing dirt and moisture. For more information on indoor entrance mats, logo floor mats, and commercial floor mats, click here or call 1-800-HOT-HOGS® (468-4647) now.

Having a commercial floor mat plan

The first step in keeping a building clean is trying to keep dirt out before it reaches your entrance matting. Keeping the parking lot and sidewalks surrounding the building clean will provide a good first impression and go a long way in maintaining a functional entry mat. It is good practice to keep exterior and interior entry mats at every means of entry.

New Pig exterior entrance mats are made primarily from synthetic materials, including vinyl, rubber, polypropylene and olefin. Our entry mats are designed to knock the bulk of the dirt and debris from the soles of shoes before it reaches the interior of a facility, thus keeping interior floors and carpeting cleaner.

New Pig interior floor mats are made from cotton, wool and many of the same materials as exterior mats. Interior floor matting is designed to continue the process of removing dirt from shoes, as well as removing smaller soil particles.

The length of commercial floor mats at an entryway is also an important consideration. Ideally, you should allow for six to eight steps to properly knock dirt from the soles of shoes. Unfortunately, many facilities do not have the luxury of available space. In that case, it is imperative to choose the right custom floor mat and maintain a weekly cleaning schedule.

Is it all about entrance matting?

Heck, no! There are numerous locations in a commercial building that would benefit from the use of commercial floor mats. Think about places where visitors will congregate. How about placing a logo floor mat in front of your receptionist's desk, or in front of your building's elevators? Perhaps anti-fatigue floor matting placed in front of your copier machine would go a long way toward soothing tired feet.

Means of egress between factory floors and offices are also great spots for floor matting, especially a PIG® Sticky Steps® Mat that literally stops dirt in its tracks. And speaking of factories, how about locating commercial floor mats in front of assembly lines or parts counters, where people will spend extended periods of time standing? Cafeterias are another place that offers multiple spots for the use of floor matting. Locate one at food prep areas, fountain drink counters, salad bars, buffet tables and cash registers.

• Malls
