Whether it is summer vacation season or year-round corporate traveling, hotels see constant foot traffic all day long. First impressions are crucial for hotels and their management team. When clients/ visitors enter a hotel, the first thing they notice is cleanliness and aesthetic. If the floor is clean and dry, people will form a positive first impression.

Here is why matting is so important for hotels:

Helps Maintain Cleanliness

A clean and dry floor always helps create a sense of comfort and trust. Proper entrance matting in hotels is important not only for the health and safety of visitors but employees as well. A practical 3-mat entry system helps reduce dirt, debris, and moisture from being tracked into the hotel. Accumulated dust has a ripple effect, it spreads very easily. With entrance matting, floors protective finishes will last longer and keep the aesthetics of the hotel an keep housekeeping costs to a minimum.

Provides A Safe Surface

Properly installed matting provides a safe and secure surface throughout the year, regardless of extreme weather conditions. One of the most important benefits of a matting is that it minimizes accidental slips and falls. If a visitor is in a hurry and rushes through the hotel doors, a secure matting system will help provide a safe surface. Having sturdy mats placed in the hotel lobby can also decrease chances of slip related injuries. Mats are the first line of defense in protecting the floor while decreasing possibility of falls or related accidents.

Adds a decorative touch

Matting adds an aesthetic appeal to any interior. Choosing the right color, backing, design and size is crucial to not only the aesthetics but also the performance of the matting in place. Visitors and employees alike will feel welcome in a space that is well taken care of. Mats can be made of rubber, carpet, vinyl, or a combination of these materials. Choosing the right material and color that complements the interior décor can help provide a safe and visually appealing entryway.

Protects floors

Entrance matting helps trap dirt, dust, allergens, and other contaminants. Mats help stop the transfer of dirt and moisture deeper into the building and hallways leading to the hotel rooms. The right choice of matting protects the interior floor and helps increase its longevity by acting as a barrier between foot traffic and floor finishes. Hotel management can avoid costly repairs and housekeeping costs by installing quality matting systems.
