Visitors, clients, and customers tend to form a good first impression when they notice an establishment that is well maintained. Are you a business owner or a condominium manager trying to decide whether you should rent or buy entrance mats? Here are some benefits of owning mats vs renting them:
Economical
Renting mats can be expensive, especially as a long-term option. And getting into a rental contract can get tricky. At an average of $.20 per square foot per week a single 3×5 rental mat costs a facility $780 over a five year period. In contrast, a purchased 3×5 High Performance mat costs the facility just under $100.
Convenient
As a building owner or manager, you can save substantially by avoiding rental program costs. All to often , rental mats are rotated with mismatched colors . Owning your entrance mats means they do not leave the building ensuring you a constant high level appearance year round. Not to mention your building custodial staff will ensure the matting is kept clean at all times.
Reliability
Every building has its unique needs. Entrances can vary from design to size . With the rental programs you are limited to 1 type of mat with basic sizing and colors . Owning entrance mats gives you the freedom to choose the right matting product, the right size, shape and color .
Safety
Proper entrance mats will have a thick backing that ensures security and stability. One of the most important benefits of installing proper entrance matting is that it minimizes the dangers of accidental slips and falls. Many rental mats are still is use despite rippled backings and or ripped and torn edging causing the mats to not lay flat on the floor .
