Many facilities choose the wrong matting because they only take into consideration the appearance of the mat, forgetting all about choosing the right mat based on performance.Matting is a facility cleaning tool that will work for your facility year round. In New England and other volatile weather areas in the US, matting will get pounded for nearly half the year from December through April. We recommend choosing a mat based on the advertised performance of the mat matched up with where the mat will go in your facility. We will review Outside the Building, the Breezeway or First Entry Point Inside the facility, and lastly the Second Entry Point Inside the Facility.Outside the Facility- We recommend a good quality scraper mat. Our recommendation would be the "Brush Hog" mat from Andersen Mats. It comes in various sizes and colors. It has stiff turf pile vinyl fabric fibers that scrape the debris off the bottom of a patrons shoes as your facilities first line of defensive cleaning. This mat will not fade, and will last many years outside.*Turf pile fabric construction filters dirt and moisture away from the mat surface.*High performance solution dyed nylon face won’t fade in sunlight*Recommended for outside applications for all commercial buildingsBreezeway or First Entry Point Inside the Facility- We recommend the Waterhog Classic line of floor matting. This matting is attractive and functional. The crevices in the mat trap dirt, rock salt, ice melt pellets, gravel, and snow which keeps it out of your facility. The mat can disperse up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard of matting leaving your flooring dry and safe. This line of matting has a long life span. It costs a little more, but it can take a beating and still look new after 10 years.*3/8” thick bi-level surface effectively removes dirt and moisture beneath shoe level *Unique “Water Dam” and ridged construction effectively holds dirt & moisture between cleaning *100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee Second Entry Point Inside the FacilityLastly, once fully inside your building it is wise to choose a finishing or wiper mat for the last stage of matting debris removal. We like the Colorstar Crunch mat by Andersen. This mats has a combination of course nylon fibers along with traditional matting fibers to create excellent scraping and wiping action for maximum soil stopping power. *3/8" Heavy duty combination pile*Available with cleated backing for placement on carpet or smooth backing for hard floor surfaces*Recommended for commercial buildings, hotels, restaurants, healthcare facilities, office buildings and more.All of the mats that we recommended are Made in the USA and are 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed by the Manufacturer.
