Entrance matting is the first thing we see when we enter a store, condominium, industrial facility, or commercial building. Proper entrance matting creates a safe, clean, and more comfortable environment. It is also the most basic way to ensure the cleanliness of an interior. Visitors, clients, and customers tend to form a good first impression when they notice an establishment that is well maintained.
Here are some advantages of proper entrance matting:
Safety
One of the most important benefits of installing proper entrance matting is that it minimizes the dangers of accidental slips and falls. If someone is in a hurry and rushes into a building, they can slip or fall if the entrance is not covered with proper matting. Entrance matting can help ensure the safety of condominium residents, visitors, guests, or employees. Safety comes first and it is essential to invest in proper matting that is slip-resistant.
Cleanliness and hygiene
In winter we tend to experience a lot of slush and snow that gets carried into buildings and condominiums. Roughly 70 – 80 % of dirt and moisture enters a building through the front, back and side entrances. Without proper entrance matting, there can be many hazards such as slips and falls. A proper matting system consisting of a minimum of 15 feet will trap, hold, and hide 85 % of dirt at the entrance. When an entrance is secured with entrance matting, visitors and residents will be able to walk in with confidence and a sense of security and protection.
Floor protection
A condominium building can have different types of flooring  such as carpet , hardwood, ceramic, marble, or tile. Building owners or condominium managers can reduce the wear and tear on any flooring by installing proper entrance matting. Matting will trap mud, dirt and debris that migrates in when a visitor or resident enters the building. There may be times building employees or construction workers may need to go in and out frequently. Entrance matting can be extremely useful for those hectic days when workers or employees frequently move about. It will keep them safe, and it will also keep the interior flooring protected avoiding costly repairs or replacement . Not to mention the premises will look clean and well maintained.
First impressions count
Entrance matting is the first line of defense your visitors see and step on when they enter the building. By choosing the right matting, building owners and managers are also investing in their relationships with clients. If a building is not well-maintained, clean, hygienic, and safe, it can leave a negative impression in a resident’s or a visitor’s mind. First impressions count, and with the right choice of entrance matting, you will create a positive and lasting first impression.
