Top 5 reasons behind every mat purchase

There are reasons behind every purchase we make, and this even applies to purchasing mats. Though they’re not the most exciting things to buy, they are needed for obvious reasons. What drives people into buying mats is the fact they help keep floors clean and dry to reduce risks. Other reasons lie in SPACE. We don’t mean the space that exists beyond planet earth, but the acronym Safety, Protection, Appearance, Comfort and Economical.

 

Safety

Safety is one of the main reasons why people purchase floor mats. It is a major factor since safer matting means less slip and fall accidents and other risks. There are many ways to tell if a mat ensures safety. Be on the lookout for:

• Durability
• Strong, non-slip rubber backing designed to last and secure the mat in place
• Bi-level construction in entrance matting to trap water and dirt and prevent traction into the building
• Bevelled edges to prevent trips
• Non-slip surface to prevent accidents

 

 

Protection

Floor protection is another top reason for purchasing a mat. Without mats, dirt and moisture can be tracked into the premises, and leave scratches and scuffs on floors or carpets. Overtime, this can develop into a worn-out path, making the floors unsightly. Therefore, many people purchase mats to protect floors and carpets from wear.

 

Appearance

Another reason why people buy mats is to enhance the appearance of their entranceway. Not only will the mat provide safety and protection, but the appearance could leave a good impression to visitors and keep your entrance looking clean and presentable. Appealing mats, such as logo mats, have the ability to enhance aesthetics, create a theme and evoke your mood.

 

 

Comfort

Anti-Fatigue Mats specialise in comfort. They are known to provide comfort for people who stand on their feet for a long period of time. The cushioned surface helps to reduce fatigue from your legs and back. They are also known to increase work productivity for industrial workers.

 

Economical

Many people are drawn to price. However, purchasing cheaper mats could turn out to be more expensive in the long run. This is because cheaper mats with low quality only last for a short while. On the other hand, spending more on a mat is more economical as it will last you over 5 years. This will save you big bucks!
