Educational facilities offer an environment for students to learn, develop their skills, and grow in a healthy environment. It is where they cultivate their personality and empower themselves. Educational facilities and centers are focused on providing an environment that is conducive to healthy learning habits. How can we encourage and promote safety and hygiene at the same time? Certain matting solutions are designed to help make the environment healthy and they also enable property managers to practice safety, cleanliness, and hygiene.

Here are a few reasons why specialized matting solutions are important for educational facilities such as schools, universities, daycares & learning centers:

Safety Solutions

Nothing matches the energy students find in school/college. Whether its about running to the next class, for the next sporting event or extracurricular activity, constant movement and mobility come with their own challenges. With so much traffic inside and outside of an educational facility, how can one make sure students are safe? Specialized mats, such as the Waterhog Inlay are great for student safety as they absorb moisture and help prevent potential slips and falls. They also help protect the flooring from harsh use and foot traffic. They provide a safe, high traction solution that captures dirt, grime, and moisture.

Customizable solutions

Is your school rooting for a certain team? Do you want to encourage team building among your students or maybe you are sponsoring an event? A custom inlay solution yields dynamic crisp images. WaterHog Inlay mats feature your logo inlaid with razor-sharp precision in a WaterHog mat.  During the precise inlay process, the area that will display your logo is cut from the mat and appropriate colors are inlaid in the cut-out. Interiors can also be kept safe and dry with bi-level surface that effectively scrapes dirt and moisture from shoes. Moreover, beveled edges in Waterhog Inlay mats provide a safe transition from floor to mat. There are so many fabric colors to choose from.

Anti-fatigue

It is very common for teachers, assistants, and staff to experience standing fatigue. Standing for an extended period and engaging with students is an difficult task. Whether it’s a classroom, a podium, or a boardroom, anti-fatigue mats can help alleviate discomfort and back pain. Getfit Standup Mat is specifically designed to provide maximum comfort while standing long hours. They are manufactured with blended cushion which helps improve muscular balance to prevent nerve impingement. These mats also reduce energy consumption by evenly distributing weight.

Cleanliness and hygiene

Some students walk to school while others get on the bus. Different weather conditions can affect the daily indoor conditions in schools and colleges. Dirt, debris and moisture easily come into a building when people walk in. In such a situation, durable, stain-resistant mats with unique bi-level design can help trap dirt and moisture helping keep the floor dry, clean and safe. Waterhog Eco Elite, for example, is a great solution to keep the mess away especially during extreme weather conditions.
