Design is only one important factor when choosing an appropriate floor mat. If you intend to place the
entry mat in an uncovered outdoor area, you must choose a mat that allows water to flow through and away to proper drainage.
Non-flow mats will quickly fill up on a rainy day and will easily be ruined. Ideally, outdoor mats should be all-weather floor
mats, suited for all conditions. All-weather floor mats last longer in changing weather conditions and can withstand excessive
heat, rain, and snow. On the other hand, an indoor rubber mat is protected from the elements, but must meet a different set
of requirements altogether. There are other requirements to keep in mind when buying a commercial mat, particularly industrial
or workplace mats.
Tips for Buying an Industrial Mat
While effectively removing and trapping dirt, industrial mats should also provide comfort for you and your
workforce. A custom, branded mat can reduce fatigue and reinforce brand identity. A commercial mat placed in an office, industry,
hotel, or school can spread a powerful message. For a classic industrial mat, try our DiamondPlate Industrial mat, or our Industrial
Worksafe® Anti-Fatigue Mat. A flow-through mat will drain water and provide slip resistance; however, if your workplace uses oils,
greases or high temperatures, your mat backing should be constructed of Nitrile rubber; in this case, try a SuperScrape™ Oval
Traction mat or one of our other NBR varieties. If your work area uses loop-style carpeting, use the gripper-backed rubber mat.
Office floor mats generally require this backing.
Choosing Safety Mats for your Workplace
Picking the right safety mat for your sensitive electronic environment is important to create a better working
environment and to ensure longer lasting equipment. Workplace mats can reduce static, and also reduce slip hazards in the workplace.
Anti-static safety mats help to keep static from continuing to build as you slide your feet across them. You may still have enough
of a static charge build-up to cause a shock, but when using safety mats, this charge would be neutralized. When buying a safety
mat, you would need to figure out the exact requirements in shape and size before you place your order. WaterHog Mats offer a variety
of safety mats that offer anti-fatigue features increase productivity by reducing physical stress.
