It’s that time of year again. The leaves are starting to turn. Our mornings are getting cooler and cooler. You wake up at the same time to prepare for another work day and it’s darker and darker out. Yes, mother nature is dragging us back towards winter yet again. Snow and ice are right around the corner which makes it time to protect your floors from slips and trips.
Floor Mats protect you people and floors
There are many types of floor mats made of different materials, but with the same purpose in mind, to protect you from a potential fall. Safety slip mats work well in wet, dry or greasy slippery areas. These types of mats are usually made up of rubber construction. Safety slip mats will remove the water, dirt, grime, sand and salt from shoes. They are perfect for any area where traction is critical such as entryways and production rooms.
Some carpet mats work just as well. These mats are mostly made up of thick fibers for scraping and thin fibers for wiping. This type of fiber mat gathers much of the dirt and moisture from shoe traffic it comes in contact with. In some cases they come equipped with a water dam fabric border that will trap more dirt and water. these fiber mats can hold up to a gallon and a half of moisture per square yard.
Your basic vinyl mats are mostly made to protect the floors from water and grime that gets tracked in. Although there are some very useful vinyl mats to protect the traffic from slippage, but in most cases they are used strictly for floor protection.
So get your salt and shovel ready and please don’t forget those floor mats for your entryways, halls, and work space!
