The primary purpose of entrance mats is to ensure safety and cleanliness. By strategically placing effective entrance mats at the entry points of a building, they can prevent slips and falls, while also helping to keep the building clean.

Businesses can incur significant financial losses and productivity setbacks due to accidents and injuries resulting from slips and falls. Additionally, cleaning a building is a time-consuming and expensive process, so reducing the amount of dirt that enters the building through the use of entrance mats can help minimise the amount of cleaning needed.

Beyond commercial settings, entrance mats offer considerable benefits for homes as well. They play a crucial role in maintaining a cleaner living environment by trapping dirt, dust, and moisture from shoes, preventing these outdoor elements from being tracked throughout the house. This not only reduces the frequency and intensity of cleaning required but also helps to protect flooring from premature wear and tear, contributing to a more hygienic and well-maintained home.

What are the Key Characteristics of an Effective Entrance Mat?

To be effective, an entrance mat should possess the following four features:

Prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture into the building
Retain dirt and moisture on the mat until it can be cleaned
Prevent the tracking of dirt and moisture off the mat
Provide a safe and secure walking surface
