The most interesting thing about matting is that it seems so simple that it is often overlooked or an afterthought and yet it is so significant to a clean, safe and healthy environment.
A commercial entrance matting system helps businesses of all kinds provide a safer, healthier and more attractive environment for their employees, customers, patients, students, tenants, guests and visitors. From indoor air quality improvement to interior flooring protection, there are many features and details of a proper entrance matting system to consider.

1. Safety

The best and most effective entrance matting systems consists of a variety of products, each with a specific job, aggressively scraping off dirt, removing additional debris and moisture, and drying any remaining moisture to effectively clean the bottom of shoes before reaching the interior flooring. All of the products work together to improve safety and reduce the risk of liability from potential slip and fall accidents. Inferior matting products curl at the edges or slide on the floor which can result in a tripping hazard and work against the safety benefit. Durable matting products with quality backing and edging will ensure that mats remain flat and securely in place.

2. Interior Flooring Protection

Terrazzo, ceramic tile, marble, granite, and hardwood are popular floor coverings used in commercial buildings and a valuable investment for building owners and managers. Tracked in dirt and moisture can cause scratches, scuff marks and staining on interior flooring surfaces. Entrance matting can eliminate damaging particles from the bottoms of shoes before reaching interior flooring and will help prolong its new appearance.

3. Reduce Interior Maintenance

Studies have shown that 80% and more of the dirt and debris in a building are tracked in on the bottoms of shoes. With just 16 linear feet of matting, 75% of dirt, dust and moisture can be contained at the entrance to help reduce interior maintenance. If space allows, installing 30 linear feet of matting will ensure that each foot makes contact with the matting approximately 6 times to remove nearly all of the dirt. This allows for most of the cleaning occurring in one convenient location and less dusting, mopping and vacuuming around the building.

4. Clean First Impressions

Choosing the right mix of products will influence the effectiveness of the entrance system and the first impression of your building. Foot grille products are best for scraping off dirt and keeping it out plain view for a clean image at the entrance. Some fiber matting products are better than others at hiding the dirt but even when it can’t be seen, daily vacuuming of commercial entrance matting is important to make room to capture more dirt.

5. Indoor Air Quality

People track in all sorts of dirt, pesticides, chemicals and other pollutants on their shoes. An entrance system that is at least 10 linear feet will reduce exposure to hazardous particulates and chemical pollutants. Keep in mind 30 linear feet is the recommended amount of matting for the best results and will help maximize the impact it will have on improved indoor air quality.

So with all of these important contributions to a clean, safe and healthy environment, there is a little more to matting than you thought, isn’t there?

These types can come in many shapes, sizes and styles so a homeowner can find the one that best suits their needs. Now sticking with what a welcome mat says about you and your home but switching gears slightly, what if you changed out that same mat to a Humorous Welcome Mat? In this case you are telling anyone that comes to your door that you enjoy a good sense of humor and that you want anyone entering your home to be in good spirits. A good humorous welcome mat can also act as an ice breaker for those first time get together with new friends. Have a dog or a cat, put out a funny animal welcome mat that will get your guests talking as the come into your home, asking you about your pets and thus easily breaking the ice. Now we follow that up with the ever popular Sports Welcome Mats. These types of mats introduce your home as the home of a sports connoisseur, who might have a passion for a particular sports team. They want everyone who visits their home to know where their loyalties lay and they will defend their team vigorously. This can be especially important in places where one team is clearly favored over another and if you enjoy another team more than the local favorite it can be a good way to let your guests know this as they come into your home. Then there are the always popular print image Seasonal and Holiday Welcome Mats.

Seasonal and Holiday Welcome Mats are some of the most universal mats available as almost everyone has used them or seen them at one time or another. What better way to bring good cheer to visitors by putting out a mat that reflects the holidays or season. A bright pastel and flowers mat for the spring, a rustic colored leaf print for the fall, or a jolly plump red cheeked Santa Clause for the winter holidays. These types of mats are great for adding a little holiday or seasonal spirit to your home’s presentation. Lastly some of the over most overlooked mats are your commercial and industrial mats. Although the name tends to scare people away from them and using them in their homes, this is often a grave oversight as they have tremendous potential. Although not likely to be used on the front door step, these types of mats can find wonderful uses in the kitchen, garage or workshop. In many cases they are designed to lessen the strain of standing in one place for extended periods of time or they are designed to keep water and debris from being tracked throughout your house in the winter months. There are even grid modular mats that can be used under home gym equipment. All it takes is a little creativity to find a good use for these types of mats.

As the reader can tell there are so many different uses for mats that any mat can be a good addition to a home.

Entrance Matting……It’s interesting that one of the last elements to go into a building’s interior design is one of the first things a person sees when they enter.

Commercial entrance matting is often excluded from the design process. So when it’s time to turn over the building, the facilities manager will… contact their preferred supplier? Surf the internet? Contact their local flooring dealer? Call Allway Matting? If the interior designer doesn’t incorporate the entrance system or matting in the design… someone else will. While it is critically important that the entrance matting live up to its performance responsibilities, it is also essential that it fits in with its surroundings. commercial entrance matting Pattern, style and color are obvious determining factors for matting to aesthetically conform to the design. And of course, quality and size matter. What about shape?

When a rectangular box shaped mat suits the entrance, that’s easy. When it’s time to think out of the box, that’s Mats Inc. (Don’t get me wrong, we do boxes too.) For an entrance to look its best, rectangular may not be the right fit.

Although, floor mats are commonly considered as an afterthought when it comes to purchasing equipment for your business, they are actually an essential tool for you to have when setting up or upgrading your facility. Here is why floor mats are important in the workplace.

They’re More Hygienic

With staff and customers come in and out of the building, most businesses experience heavy foot traffic in certain areas. That means that these areas can generate a lot of dirt under ordinary circumstances and even more during wet weather.

Did you know that up to 12 times more dirt is tracked into your business when it rains? Unfortunately, it is not a simple matter of just mopping and vacuuming the floors. Believe it or not, less than 40% of dust and dirt can be removed with a vacuum cleaner.

If you want your business to be cleaner, floor mats are the best way to accomplish this.

You Only Have One Chance to Make a First Impression

According to research, 42% of customers report that they judge your business by the cleanliness of the floors. Therefore, if you want to impress potential customers, you must make sure that your floors are always well-maintained. By installing floor mats, you can extend the life of your floors and keep them from being damaged by dust, debris, and moisture tracked in from the outdoors.

Prevent Workplace Accidents

Slip accidents are one of the most common workplace injuries that cost Australian companies millions of dollars every year. The majority of these accidents occur on wet floors which is a hazard that could easily be prevented by something as simple as laying down floor mats in high traffic areas.

In addition to reducing the likelihood that your company faces a lawsuit as a result of a customer who slipped at your business, you can also avoid downtime caused by employees who suffer injuries. Not only do workplace accidents cost your company money, they can also have a negative impact on your reputation and brand.

Just like the quality and durability of the floor mat used, the length of the entrance matting is also a crucial element when it comes to matting.

Some buildings have their entrances divided into sections like the interior, exterior and interim, making matting easier. However, not all buildings follow this structure. In that case, the length of the entrance matting matters. A lengthy entrance matting ensures that most of the floor is covered and protected too.

Here are 3 good reasons that would convince you why the length was entrance matting is vital.

Ensure There’s Enough Space to Clean The Footwear

When we enter a house, though the entrance doormat would be small, we ensure that our footwear is cleaned on the mat before we enter the house.

Well, this is not the case with buildings. None of us stop by the entrance to clean our footwear, do we? With a lengthy entrance mat, this problem is eliminated and the footwear gets cleaned by the time it’s walked upon through the length of the matting.

AllWay Matting recommends the entrance matting that is a minimum of 6 feet long. The mat should be placed vertically so that those who walk on it would walk on the mat onto the entrance of the building. If there are many, around 2000, people who pass through the entrance daily, we advise you to go for an entrance mat that is as long as 9-12m.

Better Moisture Control Of The Floor For Safety

The entrance matting is, often, seen as a floor protector. In most of the buildings, the entrance mats are used to protect the floor from potential dirt and moisture. In this case, if the mat is small, it would not serve the purpose of the product. The floor would get dirty, damp and also make the non-carpeted area soiled.

Since the disabled are also allowed inside, it is not to be overlooked that it takes at least a 2.5m long entrance matting to complete a wheelchair revolution.

If the moisture is not controlled, it could lead to hazardous situations and end up in accidents like falls, slips and trips. In worse cases, death can also be caused due to lack of moisture control on the floor.

Most Cost-effective Way to Clean The Floor

Having the complete entrance floor covered with entrance matting is perfect the most cost-effective way of keeping the floor clean and moisture-free.

The mats not only absorb dirt from the footwear, they also absorb the moisture from the floor, making it safe. With the carpets laid out, it becomes easier to clean the dust or debris from the floor. A good floor matting also ensures the longevity of the entrance floor, saving your expenses of maintaining the floor.

It is always better to have the whole surface of the entrance floor carpeted than getting a portion of the floor matted and worsen the condition of the floor. AllWay is one of the reliable sources of matting in Australia.
