While the benefits are significant, there are some considerations to be made before you purchase your entrance mat.

Potential Tripping Hazard

If not properly secured, entrance mats can become a tripping hazard. Cheaper mats, such as vinyl backed mats, may lift or curl at the edges and corners. It’s essential to choose mats with rubber bevelled edges and non-slip rubber backing and ensure they are correctly positioned and maintained.

Maintenance Requirements

Entrance mats require regular cleaning to maintain their effectiveness and appearance. Depending on the amount of traffic, weather and material, certain mats may need more frequent or specialised cleaning.

Space Constraints

In some entrances, there may be limited space to place an adequately sized mat. Smaller entrance mats may not be as effective in trapping dirt and moisture in areas that have higher footfall traffic, leading to reduced benefits for your internal environment. Consider placing additional mats inside and outside of the building to compensate for space constraints.

Conclusion

In essence, entrance matting is an extremely worthwhile investment for any business. By selecting the right mat, you can create a safer, cleaner, and more welcoming environment for everyone who walks through your door.
