Do you know which part of the building has the most foot traffic after the main entrance? The elevators!

Elevators see a lot of foot traffic, especially in commercial buildings, residential buildings, departmental stores, and hospitals. Depending on the nature of your business, employees, cleaners, visitors, residents, or clients will end up using the elevator numerous times a day. How can you make sure the elevator hallways and interior are well-managed, protected, and safe?

Here are some benefits of installing elevator matting:

Safety

The safety of visitors, employees or residents is always top priority. Matting placed in and outside of the elevators can help prevent accidental slips and falls. Whether it is summer or winter, dry or slushy weather, when people are rushing in and out of the elevator, their footing can be secured with the traction underneath with a quality mat.

Floor Protection

Installing floor mats helps keep the floor safe from daily wear and traps dirt and debris. Proper floor matting also keeps the floors of the elevator clean and protected. With the amount of foot traffic coming in and out of the elevator, it is easy for the elevator floor finish to wear. People entering the building from outdoors can use the floor mats to wipe their shoes and free them of dirt, debris, dust, or mud. As a result, the elevators will also be free of dirt because proper matting will trap all the remaining moisture and dust.

Comfort

Elevator rides may not be long, but they can surely be made comfortable. Durable matting provides a smooth and stable surface to stand on. Whether you have company employees making numerous trips in the elevator or residents using the elevator various times in a day, entrance matting that traps moisture and dust is essential. Mats with traction also help against accidental trips and falls.

Complementing the décor

Customized mats can be used to match your interior décor. Colour coordination can help create and maintain a theme in the office, facility, or building. Floor or elevator matting enhances the visual appeal and can help make visitors feel welcome and comfortable. Attractive entrance mats can add a decorative touch to any property’s entryway.
