Benefits of Entrance Mats

Studies have shown that up to 80% of interior dirt, dust and soil is brought into the building on shoes and boots. By using an effective entrance mat at the entrance to your building you can ensure that the majority of dirt will be stopped at the entrance. This helps to significantly reduce the need for floor cleaning and maintenance.

The optimum length of entrance matting is considered to be a minimum of 12 – 15 feet ( 4 – 5 metres) This allows for each foot to make contact with the entrance mat at least 3 times. This length of entrance mat will make sure that the majority of  dirt, dust and moisture is removed from foot traffic.

Quality entrance mats are designed to:

Remove dirt, grit, dust and moisture from shoes and boots
Prevent debris from entering into your premises
Make entrance areas look clean and maintain a neat appearance
Reduce slip hazards

Depending on the quality of entrance mat, one square metre of entrance mat can hold up to half a litre of water and remove half a  kilogram of dirt in a week, significantly reducing cleaning and maintenance costsassociated with floor care and reducing trip and slip hazards.
