Mat Supplier Can Help With…
Recessed Floor Mats
Your hospital’s entryway probably has recessed flooring of some kind, and if your hospital has been open for decades, then it’s likely sustained some damage throughout the years. This can reduce its effectiveness and allow your floors to become slippery during inclement weather, and you don’t want visitors or staff members to slip and fall due to moisture. Similarly, you don’t want to use your hospital’s budget to pay for unnecessary repairs to your flooring, which can be an unfortunate consequence of damaged recessed floor mats.
Instead of making do with old and outdated recessed flooring, let our outstanding customer service team help you find a high-quality replacement that will last for decades!
Sanitary Anti-Fatigue Mats
Everyone in your hospital works hard, and many of your employees spend hours on their feet each day. Nurses, for instance, quickly move from room to room throughout the day, and they probably also spend a significant amount of time standing at the nurses’ station. Anti-fatigue mats can make it easier for your nurses to keep up their energy throughout the day, and we carry a great selection of anti-fatigue mats that are designed to be used in medical settings. These mats are incredibly easy to clean and maintain, allowing you to use them throughout your hospital for years to come.
While nurse stations are a great place to put anti-fatigue mats, there are a number of other areas in your hospital that could benefit from standing mats.
Custom Logo Mats
Your hospital is a place of rest and healing, and you take pride in the values your institution upholds. If you haven’t placed custom logo mats bearing your institution’s colors and banner, then why not take this opportunity to invest in indoor and outdoor mats? In addition to showing patients, staff, and visitors that you take pride in your institution, custom logo mats can also act as a first line of defense against moisture, dirt, and other contaminants that can damage your flooring and cause unsafe conditions.

Whether your business has been open for one day or 10 years, at some point, you’ll need to replace various elements to maintain a clean and professional appearance. You might have plans to replace certain lighting fixtures, print new menus, or purchase new furniture, but have you considered replacing your floor mats? You, your customers, and your employees walk across them every day, but you may not actively notice that they need to be replaced. In today’s entry, we’ll take a look at a few of the most common signs indicating that you need new floor mats.
While floor mats are great for preventing dirt and moisture from damaging your floors, they’re also designed to keep your employees and customers from slipping and falling. Your business has hundreds, if not thousands, of people coming in and out each week, and your floor mats can quickly become worn down in a matter of years.
If your recessed floor mats no longer have much texture left, or if the aluminum rails have sustained damage from heavy foot traffic, then get in touch with our floor mat experts and let us help you find a suitable replacement. We can help you find recessed floor mats and runner mats that are ideal for your particular climate, and we’ll always work to stay within your budget.
Your company’s logo functions as the face of your business. It’s one of the first things people see when they approach your business, and it’s probably the first thing that comes to mind when they imagine themselves going back.
You probably purchased custom logo mats for your entryway before your grand opening, but the number of people coming through your doors each day has caused the mats to fade over time. If your logo mats are looking worse for the wear, then let Mat Supplier help you create replacements with our cutting-edge printers. We can help you choose the ideal material and backing, depending on where the mats will be placed. You won’t believe how good your entryway looks after you’ve updated your entrance mats!
It’s important to be prepared for the unexpected, especially when it comes to the well-being of your employees and customers. Heavy rain and snow can both saturate your current floor mats and create hazardous conditions, and you don’t want to be scrambling to find extras. If you don’t have extra entrance and runner mats, then we recommend purchasing a few in order to stay ahead of the elements. If you’re not sure which mats are ideal for your business, then get in touch with us and we can make recommendations depending on your location, size, and foot traffic.
Whether you have carpet, tile, wood, or natural stone floors, you don’t want to pay for repairs unnecessarily. Any unexpected expenditures will cut into your company’s bottom line, and depending on the industry you serve, repairs could even cut into your hours of operation.
If your floors are already damaged due to heavy foot traffic, then you’ll need to pay whatever it takes to restore them. However, you don’t want to have to pay for restoration more than once, and outfitting your business with runner mats and new entrance mats might be just what it takes to keep your floors looking great.
We carry a great selection of floor mats that can accommodate your climate and protect your floors from further damage, helping your floors look great for years to come.

]]>Another year, another frigid winter! You may not be breaking your back shovelling that driveway yet, but the time is fast approaching! However, if you want a snow-free doorway, driveaway, non-shovelling accident free winter then you better run (and try not to slip) to get one of our Snow Melting Heated Floor Mats.
Snow Melting Heated Mats are an efficient and convenient way to prevent snow and ice accumulation around the home, small business property, industrial facility or a commercial environment. The benefits of a snow melting heated mat is obvious and if you’re here, you’re probably already interested in buying one but have some questions am I right? Questions like if heated snow melting mats really work (I was also skeptical at first), if the price is worth it, and how do they work? There are plenty of questions so with this post we hope to answer some common questions about heated mats from breaking down how the heated floor mats work to the cost of running them so you can get the most out of your mats!
OVERVIEW: WHAT IS A HEATED FLOOR MAT
A heated mat is an alternative snow removal method used to melt snow and ice. Electric heat track mats are a highly effective and cost efficient method that has set an industry standard. By utilizing durable rubber mats with heating technology inside, the mats are heated to a constant temperature that melts existing snow. In addition to taking care of existing snow and ice, our mats prevent any new snow from accumulating by melting snow on contact at a rate of 2” per hour. This prevents future snow and ice accumulation on walkways and stairs around your home. Since 1” per hour is considered “heavy snowfall,” you can rest assured that HeatTrak mats will be effective throughout strong winter storms.
HEAT TECHNOLOGY: EXTERNAL VS INTERNAL HEATED FLOOR MATS
While some people prefer to have internal heated coils installed in their driveway or walkways, there are many advantages to external rubber mats. The first advantage to external heated mats is the low initial cost and non-invasive installation. Because internal coils must be embedded within driveways and walkways, they are not easily installed. If the property is currently under construction, they must be worked into existing plans. If you are considering installing them in an existing structure, you must demolish the walkway, driveway or staircase in order to install the heating system. Thus internal heated floor mats are considerably more expensive than an external heated floor mat. As well, take into consideration the continued operating costs each winter as well as the difficulty accessing the coils for troubleshooting and repairs. External mats require an electrical outlet and are easy to set up (plug and go!) as well as accessible for maintenance and repairs should any issues arise. Our mats come with a two-year warranty - not to mention our exceptional customer service! Overall, external rubber mats give you all of the benefits with none of the hassle of the internal coils.
COST BREAKDOWN: WHAT DOES IT COST TO PURCHASE AND OPERATE HEATED MATS?
We pride ourselves on offering the highest quality mats available on the market for the best price. While it depends on the type of mat purchased (whether you desire residential or commercial mats) as well as the type of mat (walkway, stairway or custom sized) most external rubber mats run from $150-300. And the good news is they don’t require any internal installation. That means there’s no need to rip up existing driveways, walkways or staircases on your property! In fact, heated snow melting floor mats protect your current surfaces from snow and ice damage. Not only is the price of heated snow removal mats lower when compared to internal coils or expensive equipment such as plows and blowers, but their operating costs are very low. Our Snow Melting Heated Floor Mats average about $1 per day they are on.
MATERIALS: WHAT TYPES OF MATERIALS ARE UTILIZED IN HEATED MATS?
Our heated snow melting mats are made of customized thermoplastic material. There are electrically operated heating elements sandwiched between two protective surfaces of non-slip rubber, making them as durable as automobile tires and allowing them to endure harsh wear. The mats are durable, safe and effective.
LOCATION: WHERE ARE THE BEST PLACES TO USE HEATED FLOOR MATS?
One of the best features of heated snow removal mats is that they are portable and can be placed as needed around private residences and commercial properties to optimize snow removal. Where you set up your heated snow removal mat is up to you, all that’s needed is access to an electrical outlet. We recommend taking into account snow exposure and foot traffic when setting up your mats. Common areas where heated mats are especially effective are: parking lots, driveways, front doors, walkways, stairways, wheelchair ramps, loading docks or anywhere else that receives foot or wheelchair traffic. Remember that not only do you get effective snow and ice removal with heated mats, but you get a durable rubber surface that provides additional tread for added stability on slippery surfaces.
SPECIALIZATION: DOES “ONE-SIZE-FIT-ALL” OR ARE THERE SPECIFIC MATS FOR EACH AREA?
We offer residential mats in two sizes. First, is the walkway mat which is a convenient 20" x 60" and can be daisy-chained together for a longer walkway or sidewalk. Second, we offer a stair mat which has been sized at 10" x 30" to fit the average stair dimensions. Our industrial mats come in a variety of lengths and widths and can be made in custom sizes, although it should be noted they cannot be daisy-chained together to change the size.
CAN I DRIVE ON MY HEATED FLOOR MAT?
Short answer is yes and no. Our industrial mats can be driven on. However, at this time you cannot drive on our residential heated mats. We suggest you set up your residential mats in walkways leading to or from your carport or garage. You can daisy-chain the mats together to create efficient walkways where you need them most! Remember that mats protect the surface of your driveway as well as add tread when coming in and out of your car. We encourage you to be creative when creating walkways to ensure easy access to the car without the need to cover the entire surface area of your driveway.
EASE AND EFFICIENCY: CAN HEATED MATS BE AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED?
All our heated mats can be used with automation controllers. At Canada Mats, we sell two types of automatic controllers that can turn your mat on and off. The first is a thermostat controller that plugs directly into the outlet and powers the outlet whenever the temperature drops below 38*F. Once energized, the controller will stay on until the temperature rises above 50* F. The second is a professionally hardwired snow sensing controller that turns the mat on whenever it senses moisture AND the temperature is below 38* F. In our opinion, the best option is still to manually turn the mats on or off by having an electrician wire the outlet to a switch inside your home, or leave them on all season long (depending on your budget).
WATER & ELECTRICITY SAFETY - IS ELECTRICITY SAFE AROUND ALL THAT SNOW AND RUNNING WATER?
Technology has also enabled Canada Mats to ensure that the highest electrical safety standards are upheld. You won’t have to worry about water seeping into the electronics and causing short circuits in the mats. We have successfully made more than 40,000 snow melting mats, so we know a thing or two about safety. In fact, we make sure that mats and extension cords are watertight, durable and made from the highest quality products to eliminate any risk water poses to the electric components. In addition, all our mats come with a built-in GFCI protector as an extra layer of protection. We also offer a two-year warranty on all mat purchases in case any repairs or replacements are needed.
LIFE EXPECTANCY: HOW LONG DO HEATED FLOOR MATS LAST?
One of the advantages to using heated floor mats for snow removal is that you can use them for multiple seasons. Unlike equipment such as shovels that break after a season of chipping ice, or chemicals which must be replenished each storm, heated mats last years. Snow melting heated floor mats have an average lifespan of four to five years. This depends on the amount of foot traffic received as well as following our recommendations for best usage. However, in the worst case scenario we are proud to offer an exceptional warranty on all mats that will ensure your mats are protected for the first two years. Hope these have answered any questions or doubts you have had about purchasing heated mats!
]]>As we start moving toward fall and winter, preventing cold and flu becomes a top priority. But with COVID-19 still widespread, this year's cold and flu season could prove to be an interesting experiment.
"People are already doing the things that we should do to prevent the spread of cold and flu viruses," explains Ashley Houghteling, NP, a nurse practitioner at Henry Ford Health System. "We're implementing physical distancing, staying home when we don't feel well and using hand sanitizer. We might even see a decrease in colds and flu this year as a result of these efforts."
Each year, an estimated 39 to 56 million Americans come down with the flu. About half of them become so ill they paid a visit to their healthcare provider, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If this season's cold and flu season hits hard, it could overwhelm an already taxed healthcare system.
The only proven strategy to protect against the flu: A flu shot. The CDC urges everyone to get a flu vaccination this year, not only to prevent the spread of the flu virus, but also to reduce the burden on hospitals working hard to treat COVID-19 patients. The problem is, many Americans are staying away from their doctors' offices, pharmacies and schools, where flu shots are readily available.
"That's one reason we're offering flu shots in all of our clinics, beyond primary care, whenever we can," Houghteling says. "The idea is to capture patients where they are, rather than hoping they make a separate appointment to get vaccinated."
Don't have an appointment coming up? Learn more about how to get a flu shot.
In addition to making it a priority to get a flu shot for yourself and your family anywhere that's convenient for you, the basic tenets of preventing cold and flu remain unchanged:
Many people worry that the 2020 flu season could push Americans over the edge. Although colds and flu are widespread in fall and winter, other misconceptions about these common viruses persist.
A few of the most common:
One unique challenge for this year's cold and flu season is differentiating between a common virus (like cold or flu) and the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. COVID-19 and the flu share several symptoms, including fever, cough, fatigue and aches and pains.
No matter which type of bug you're battling, eating healthful foods may help you fight the virus. "Your body needs protein, energy and nutrients to boost your immune system," Houghteling says. "Fluids are especially important to help flush out toxins and help you stay hydrated." Water, tea, soups and broth are all good choices.
Still sick? Any prolonged virus warrants attention this season. If you have a fever and your symptoms continue at the same level or worsen over a 10- to 14-day period, you should see your healthcare provider.
A few telltale COVID-19 symptoms that demand a physician's attention:
"Most important, make sure you have a low threshold for when to reach out to a healthcare provider," Houghteling says. "If you have COVID-19, quarantine is critical to protect public health."

Boats are a lot of fun! They offer you that perfect weekend escape. The idea of a quick marine excursion to some sleepy secret little cove or quiet isles off the coast of the city is alluring. Sometimes you don’t even need a destination. Just getting away from land and being moored on water far away from the noise and madness sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it?
Besides this, boats and yachts are also used for commercial purposes as water taxis, to ferry tourists to and from the city. Some vessels just offer rides around the bay area. Others are also available for hire for parties and private events.
Boats these days have come a long way from the wooden floating objects that come to mind. Boats are high tech, smarter, more efficient, stronger, and sleeker. What has not changed is the fact that they are water borne vessels that experience splashes from the crazy waves or the puddles from divers and swimmers. Water, no matter how it lands up on the deck or floor of the boat, will make surfaces slippery and increase the chances of slips and falls. The best way to prevent that is by using a good quality, non-slip boat mat.
What are boat mats?
Boat mats cover the floor or deck of a boat or yacht. They protect them from the corroding effect of salty seawater and abrasive sand. People stepping on and off the boat causes the expected wear and tear and abrasion. These mats protect the floor and reduce and slow this wear and tear. They also protect the floor from getting grimy from the dirt that comes in on shoes, keeping the boat looking clean and inviting.
Boat mats also offer grip to shoes and feet as the vessel bobs, speeds, and rocks. Being a water vessel, boats are just going to have water coming onto the floor or deck when people dive and swim in the ocean. Also, when the waters are slightly choppy or there are bigger waves, there will be water splashing on the boat and its floors. This makes the surface watery and slippery, increasing chances of slipping and falling on the floor or even overboard! Boat mats offer a non-slip surface and grip to feet, reducing accidents and keeping things safe on board.
Boat mats also offer a soft surface to stand on compared to the cold, bare boat floor. Whether people hang around near the rails or stand at the wheel to steer the boat, a soft comfortable surface is always pleasant. Their anti-fatigue properties are very useful on commercial vessels for both guests as well as staff.
The best type of boat mats are the ones that can withstand the salty seawater, are easy to clean, have traction on slippery surfaces, and can prevent skidding and slipping due to wetness. Boat mats can come in cotton, nylon, hemp, PVC, rubber and other materials. Each of them woks based on your needs. Some boat owners like to have their boat mats printed with their names, logos, or specific messages and even have it customised to match the boat’s colours.
Everscrape 8150 Looped Vinyl Mat--Perfect for Boats!
The matting is perfect for use as boat mats. The Everscrape 8150 loop mats are made from thick extruded vinyl loops that are bonded together on a PVC backing for sturdy and good-looking mat. The Everscrape 8150 Backed Loop Mat does 4 things:

]]>Coir exudes a certain warm tropical charm reminiscent of the beautiful sunny shores of Sri Lanka and India. Coir has a beautiful golden-brown hue that fits equally well in contemporary as well as traditional décor schemes. Coir is also eco-friendly. A by-product of the coconut harvesting industry, coconut husk is used to make coco mats and coir products in what is a wonderful model of sustainability.
What are some of the coir matting options that are available for commercial premises? Let’s find out.
Vinyl Backed Coco Entrance Mats
Coco Entrance Mats are among the best scraper mats in the business. Their coarse fibers get down to business and get dirt, dust, mud, and debris off shoe soles efficiently. They help keep your reception and lobby area clean and hygienic. Their vinyl backing gives the mats grip, so that they stay in place no matter how heavy the traffic. These mats come in rolls and can be cut according your size and shape requirements. And did we mention that they are all-natural coir mats and, hence, eco-friendly?
High Density Vinyl Backed Coco Entrance Mats
HD Custom Cut Coir Mats combine a coir surface with a vinyl backing to give you a strong and sturdy boot scraper mat. What sets these mats apart is their better performance and richer look. The mat body is denser, stronger, with more coconut fibers per square inch. This makes the mats look fuller and more luxurious. The special fiber glass scrim embedded backing is less prone to stretching, creating a firmer and more stable base.
Perhaps the most important upgrade in the HD coco mats when compared to the regular grade coco mats is their enhanced wheelchair accessibility, thanks to a firmer surface that allows wheeled traffic to pass over it without sinking into the fibers of the mat.
High Density Vinyl Back Custom Cut Coco Mats are made from coconut fibers and are sustainably made from the husk by-product of the coconut harvesting industry.
Coloured Vinyl Backed Coco Entrance Mats
The eco-friendly goodness and the boot scraping capabilities of the Vinyl Backed Coco Entrance Mats are available in colours to suit your office and entrance décor. The coconut fibers are completely solution dyed before being embedded into the vinyl backing. This results in the color covering the entire mat, leading to richer colors that do not fade off easily with everyday wear and tear.
As we mentioned, coir is a good boot scraper that gets dirt off shoe soles and hides it in the body of the mat until cleaned. Coco fiber is also one of the most absorbent natural fibers around and helps keep moisture off the floors inside.
Herringbone Weave Coco Runners
Coco Runner Mats can be used to cover entire floors and pathways and can also be used as stair treads! They are perfect when you need temporary flooring for trade shows, exhibitions, events, and even pop-up stores. Typical of all coir products, these runners provide scraping and wiping action and traction. The herringbone weave looks elegant and creates an upscale look in any location. The weave also gives the mat strength and longevity.
Herringbone Coco Runners are great for indoor as well as outdoor use, making them versatile, useful, and cost-effective.
Coco mats can be personalized with a name or monogram. Prints can be done in 5 colors—black, brown, blue, red, and green. You can also choose from a range of border designs. These mats are great for residential use but also for less formal businesses such as a family-run business or store, storefronts, bakeries, and more. They have a vintage elegance and charm that sends out a warm vibe.
You also have the option of customizing these mats with a line of your choice. Some people prefer to put their branding on their entrance mat—company name, branding, logo, tagline, and other brand assets are quite easy to print or inlay with these mats.
Designer Coco Mats are the least formal of all the coco mats we stock. They come in a selection of prints and with lines. If your office, store, boutique, or studio likes to keep things less formal and more relaxed and casual, then you may like the creativity and the fun that these mats can bring to your entrance. As we mentioned earlier, you have the option to get a line of your choice printed on the mat for a truly unique or meaningful entrance doormat!

]]>Your décor will do lot of that for you, of course. And since your entrance mat will play a part in that, we have put together a post about how you can choose an entrance mat that says and does all the right things for you, doorstep in.
It goes without saying that entrance mats are designed to protect floors and keep the premises clean. A good entrance mat will scrape, hold, and hide dirt. Office entrance mats are available in rolls, moulded and grid formats and can be coir, synthetic, polypropylene, nylon or rubber mats.
Custom Logo Entrance Mats
These mats can carry your branding, logo or company motto. Custom logo mats are available in coir, polyamide, polypropylene, and nylon and in combinations of these materials. You can either get them printed or inlaid with your branding. Printing is great for logos and prints that have more details and elaborate designs. Since good quality dyes and a machine printing process are involved, the print on the mats keeps looking fresh for longer. Inlaid door mats, on the other hand, have a completely different process, where the entire design of the logo is cut out from a base mat and coloured and cut pieces are filled in to create a composite logo design. The inlaid logo work is luxurious and lasts longer, even under high traffic conditions. Whether made from coir or synthetic fibers, these mats will scrape dirt and grime off shoe soles and with keep it out of sight.
Who should buy: Custom logo entrance mats are great when you want to show a sophisticated entrance aesthetic that displays your seriousness, professionalism and, of course, your brand assets. Their rich luxurious look cues the right amount of sophistication and elegance. They are a great way to display your brand assets at the front door itself and can help build brand recall.
Recessed Well Entrance Mats
If you have a recessed well at the entrance, then you would need a recessed well mat. Recessed well mats allow matting to sit at floor level rather than above it. This creates a smooth, level entrance, where the mat does not stick out and cause people to trip over it.
Who should buy: These mats are the best option if you have indoor or outdoor recessed wells at your entrance. When your premises see a lot of have wheeled traffic, it is really important to have a mat that allows smooth wheelchair movement. Recessed well mats serve this purpose very well. These mats are also great when your office sees a lot of foot traffic through the day. Once again, a mat that sits flush at floor level means visitors do not experience any embarrassing and dangerous trips and falls. The mat too will sustain less damage, as less feet hitting against its edges means less curling and fraying. Recessed well mats come in both grid systems and roll good format.
Drainage Entrance Mats
Drainage mats have holes or slats on them that allow water, ice, and snow to slip through them. This keeps the surface dry and makes it less slippery. These mats also allow chunks of mud, dirt, and grime to slip down through the mat to the bottom, hidden from plain sight. All this means the floor inside your office remains drier and there are no ugly and muddy puddles on it. This greatly reduces accidental slips and falls. These mats are made from tough and durable materials such as solid vinyl or rubber that are unrelenting on dirt.
Who should buy: Drainage mats are a boon in places that see a lot of wet weather. If your office is in a wet weather region, you will find that these heavy-duty mats are very useful when placed outside the office. They are also great for cities that see seasonal monsoons. It can be brought out for use in rainy and snowy weather and stored away when not needed. Because of their materials, these mats are easy to clean and low maintenance, a big plus when consider the fact that they see a lot of wet shoe soles and need frequent cleaning.
Use them in combination with indoor entrance mats that are made up of absorbent synthetic fibers, and you have a system that works more efficiently to keep the premises dry and clean.
Carpeted and Synthetic Indoor Entrance Mats
While rugged materials like rubber and moulded vinyl are great on the outside for fighting the elements, indoor mats should be elegant, plush, and carpeted to exude that sophistication and warmth that all office entrances, receptions, and lobbies strive for. Indoor entrance mats are made from absorbent materials such as coir, nylon, polypropylene, polyamide and their combinations. Indoor entrance mats are almost entrance rugs, thanks to their softer material and carpet look. They are good boot scrapers and get mud, dust, and dirt off soles and then hold and hide them. The fibers on these mats offer absorption and tend to “wipe” and absorb moisture off soles. This prevents tracking of mud and water inside, reducing slips and falls.
Who should buy: Indoor entrance mats can be used anywhere and by everyone. There isn’t a business that could not do with a clean, sophisticated, and professional interior. This becomes of paramount importance in hospitality and restaurant industries, as clean interiors are one of the important factors that they are evaluated on.
Use them in combination with outdoor entrance mats that are tough boot scraping/drainage mats and get rid of most of the dirt and moisture, so the indoor mat can tackle remaining moisture without getting too soiled.
Coir Entrance Mats
Coir mats have a certain warm and earthy stylishness to them. Made from natural coconut fibers, these mats are eco-friendly, tough, and safe. The natural fibers are excellent boot scrapers. Coir mats are versatile as they come in rolls that can be cut to any size, are available in a selection of colours to go with your interiors, and can be printed or inlaid with your branding, logo, motto, or tagline.
Who should buy: Perfect for use in most offices except in very rainy places. The natural fibers can absorb moisture, but they are more ideal for drier and warmer places. They can also be used as doormats, floor mats, or runners as they are available in rolls.
When it comes to choosing the right type of office entrance mat, take into consideration your business needs, geography, and interiors. Somewhere at the intersection of these factors is an entrance mat that’s perfect for your business.

Most rubber mats are made from nitrile rubber which is suitable for heavy duty applications. Rubber matting is also available in recycled rubber, which is great for less punishing environments and applications. The matting either has a textured surface that provides traction and non-slip safety, or it comes with drainage holes or slats that help liquids drain off the surface and reduce slips and falls. Some rubber mats have anti fatigue applications and hence they have a bubbled surface or extra padded construction.
Rubber matting has versatile usage and is, therefore, available in different forms to help customers get one that is an optimal fit. The matting is available in the following formats:
Entrance door mats: These are standard size doormats that can be used by commercial places as well as residences. They are mainly moulded mats that come ready in size and styling from the manufacturer.
Rubber rolls: These are thinner mats that are available as rolls and can cater to various size needs. They are especially useful to cover longer areas such as passages, corridors, and pathways. Their roll format means you can cut them to any size and in any shape.
Interlocking tiles: Rubber tiles are configurable to your space needs and are more economical. If there is any damage sustained by the mat, only the damaged tiles need to be removed instead of replacing the whole mat.
Now let’s take a look at how rubber matting can be used in different ways in commercial buildings.
Rubber Entrance Mats
Entrance mats have to clean mud, dirt, moisture, and grime from shoe soles and keep reception and lobby areas clean and dry. It’s of utmost importance that entrance mats are sturdy and have good boot scraping abilities. Also, given that entrance mats see so much of dirt and grime, they need to be cleaned pretty regularly. Rubber mats score well on all these requirements. Made from nitrile or recycled rubber, rubber mats are strong and last long. Rubber mats such as Dura flex 300 and Dura Flex 320 are designed to scrape dirt from the soles of shoes and keep premises clean. Rubber mats are easy to clean by simply hosing down with water or a good scrub with a brush for a deeper cleaning. No need for dry clean, vacuum or special cleaners and detergents. These mats also stand up well to tough outdoor weather conditions and are easy to install.
Rubber Runners
Rubber runners enjoy application in a wide range of areas in commercial spaces. These rubber floor mats can be used as entrance mats and as runners inside the building in passages and hallways. They can be used in gyms to reduce skidding while working out. Rubber gym mats protect floors from any potential damage caused by weights and equipment. Around pools and in commercial kitchens and production facilities, rubber matting can help prevent slipping and skidding due to fluids, liquids, and water. In workshops, rubber runners protect floors from grease, chemicals, engine oils that can corrode and ruin flooring. Also, rubber matting offers a layer of protection from damage caused by falling objects and machine parts. In warehouses, a rubber runner will protect stored goods from damage caused by moisture and dirt on floors. Rubber runners come in rolls and can be cut to a size of your choice.

]]>Vynagrip mats are made from 100% recycled rubber, making it an environment-friendly choice for your business. The mats are made from high quality materials and are exceptionally tough and can withstand everything from chemicals, oil, and acid. This makes them available and ideal for a wide variety of applications.
Vynagrip mats have a very high slip resistance rating (DIN 51130 - R11), so they can be counted on to drastically reduce slip-and-fall accidents and related injuries. The mats also have a high liquid drainage rating, meeting the highest of international standards. These features make Vynagrip the ideal mat for employers for whom the safety of their employees is of paramount importance.
Jobs that require employees to standing for long durations as part of the job can put a lot of strain on employee health and comfort. Standing still for long hours constricts blood flow to feet and legs, causing discomfort. Moreover, hard floors can additionally increase the discomfort. Vynagrip’s anti fatigue properties provide a soft cushioned surface for the employees to stand on, relieving discomfort from the word go. As the mat encourages slight movement at all times, it encourages blood flow to legs and feet, which in turn keeps them comfortable. This is particularly important as uncomfortable employees are not able to give their job their best. They are distracted and this not only cuts down productivity, it could also lead to mistakes that could cost the business. By making their working conditions comfortable, these anti fatigue mats boost productivity and also help reduce employee health issues that arise from poor posture and musculoskeletal conditions that result from long hours of standing at work.
The mat creates a layer between the floor and feet and any objects that may fall to the floor. Their thermal and noise reducing properties create a quiter and more comfortable work environment.
An open grid design allows instant draining of fluids and liquids by not providing them with much surface area to accumulate on. The mat has a diamond tread pattern on the top and bottom surface to increase slip resistance.
Vynagrip Mats also help increase the overall hygiene of the facility. The mats catch and drain off spills and splashes of all kinds. This prevent all the spills and messes from spreading around the facility via shoe soles.
Let’s recap the features and benefits of Vynagrip mats:
Vynagrip is a superior quality drainage mat that can be used in a variety of applications from commercial kitchens to workshops, pool areas, and assembly lines in factories. They can also be used as outdoor entrance mats for commercial spaces like malls, hospitals, restaurants, office buildings, and apartment buildings.
If you are looking for a good anti slip drainage mat for your business, you may have found your solution in Vynagrip.
]]>Fortunately, the right choice of mats can help avert these unfortunate scenarios.
Most of the times, water follows visitors into the building on their shoe soles, especially in wet, rainy regions. If most of this water can be tapped and drained off before it enters your premises, it would vastly reduce puddling and wet footprints on your premise floors. Dry floors are clean and safe floors.
The best mats for this job are outdoor drainage mats. They are made from heavy duty, industrial grade materials that are just right for the job, as they are thicker, more resilient to temperature fluctuations, can withstand the toughest weather conditions, are right for high traffic conditions, and are easy to clean and maintain. By its definition, a drainage mat features either drainage holes or slots through which water can drain off the surface. They are ideal for wet weather conditions but have benefits even when the weather is dry as they allow dirt, mud, and debris to fall through the drainage holes.
Here are some of the ways in which these outdoor mats can be used in various parts of facilities.
Entrances
Outdoor drainage mats, when placed outside the entrance, will help reduce the amount of water and dirt that gets into the commercial premise. The edges of the drainage holes on the mats lightly scrape shoe soles. The scraped dirt, moisture, mud, and debris then falls through the drainage holes and gets collected under the mat until cleaning time. Since it does not stay on the surface, ready to be picked by other shoe soles, your interiors remain clean. The drainage holes are the greatest help when your commercial premise is located in places with wet weather conditions. The drainage holes allow water to drain off the surface and get collected at the entrance rather than get carried indoors and accumulate on the floors of lobbies and reception areas inside.
These mats work optimally when combined with an indoor entrance mat that will scrape fine dust and absorb the remaining moisture off shoe soles. The indoor-outdoor system will ensure enhanced hygiene and safety for visitors.
Pool Areas
Pools, of course, are full of water! With people diving in, splashing about, getting in and out of the pool, a lot of water gets splashed around the areas surrounding pools. As water forms puddles, chances of people slipping, falling, and injuring themselves present a safety hazard. This poses a danger to everyone in general, but it gets more pronounced with the presence of children, elderly people and people who do not know how to swim. Outdoor drainage mats are a great way to make slippery floors safe for everyone. The drainage holes are perfect to allow water to drain off the surface and not accumulate on it and create a dangerous slippery surface.
Outdoor entrance mats can be made from eco-friendly recycled rubber, nitrile rubber, vinyl, and even metal. They can have drainage holes, grids, webs, or slots that allow water to drain down from the surface. Some outdoor drainage mats even offer carpeted inserts as part of their pattern to exude elegance and sophistication, but they also serve the functionality of wiping shoe soles to get as much water off as possible before people step indoors. There are drainage entrance door mats of standard size, which work perfectly well in cities that do not see much rain, and the mats here are used mainly to get dust and dirt off soles. Drainage mats are available in longer configurations when you would like to cover a walkway or boardwalk. Drainage rubber mats are a better option when there is cart traffic involved, as they are more bouncy, flexible, and can stand up to the pressure of wheels. Drainage mats can come with bevelled edges to help avoid tripping dangers.
Other Uses
Drainage mats have a wide variety of indoor applications as well.

]]>Rubber flooring and matting offer all of the above and are ideal for wet conditions. Rubber mats offer the following benefits:
There are a wide range of rubber mats available in the market. Which one should you get? As a rule of thumb, if the work area involves a lot of standing for employees, then it’s best to get rubber mats with special anti-fatigue properties that offer cushioned comfort to feet. They will also protect floors and reduce slips and falls.
However, if work does not involve prolonged standing, then thin rubber mats should do the job efficiently. They provide the right cover on the floor to protect it, help reduce slipping hazards, while also offering a degree of anti-fatigue relief to employees.
Thin sized rubber runners do an efficient job of protection people and flooring. They can be cut according to required size and can be used to cover all kinds of areas—large, small, and asymmetrical. Rubber mat rolls can be rolled along workstations and island platform floors to provide comprehensive coverage. They are made from rubber, which is a natural, eco-friendly material and is reasonably priced compared to many synthetic alternatives. If they are made from recycled rubber, they are even more environmentally friendly. Commercial rubber runner mats are available in black rubber as well as in colored rubber, with a variety of colors to choose from. Some even offer speckled and other patterns. Apart from runners, rubber mats are also available as interlocking tiles, drainage mats, and standard size entrance mats.
Our recycled rubber and heavy duty runner mats serve a myriad of applications, they can be used in commercial kitchens, alongside pools, in warehouses, production facilities and much more. Let’s look at uses of thin rubber mats in various areas.
Entrances: Rubber mats make great entrance mats for businesses that operate in areas with wet weather conditions. The mats are unaffected by moisture, water, snow, ice, and humidity. They are easy to clean and easy to maintain.
Poolside: With swimmers getting in and out of the water, poolside areas are prone to puddling, and this sharply increases the likelihood of slips and falls. Thin rubber mats cover poolside areas to provide swimmers with a slip-resistant surface to walk on.
Warehouses: It goes without saying that warehouses, the places where goods are stored, need to ensure that goods stay safe and are not destroyed by moisture, mold, mildew and insects. Thin rubber mats provide a layer between stored goods and the floor, ensuring that no moisture seeps up to wet and damage the goods. Rubber is mold and mildew resistant, so that is yet another danger that thin rubber mats help do away with. The mats cover floors and help keep the area clean and hygienic, reducing insect and rat infestation.
Workshops: These areas involve working with fluids of all kinds—grease, oils, chemicals, solutions. A lot of these could be stronger than your flooring can survive. Thin rubber mats provide that layer of protection to floors. They help reduce slips and falls by offering slip resistance and traction. The mats also save floors from the damage caused by falling machine parts. Conversely, thin rubber mats also save machine parts from getting damaged when they fall.
Production facilities: Areas where products are manufactured involve the use of fluids, greases, solutions, chemicals, powders, ingredients, product parts, and more. Some of these could damage and corrode flooring. Thin rubber mats provide that layer of protection to floors. Spills, drips, drops, and leaks are caught by the mat and do not create a mess on the floor. These can then be cleaned away easily. Moreover, they protect employees by reducing slips and falls because of their slip resistance and traction. Thin rubber mats also protect floors from the damage caused by falling machine parts and vice versa.
Restaurant Food Prep Areas: Used to prep food this area involves the cleaning and prep work for the chefs who do the cooking. This means there is use of oils, greases, butter, condiments, spices, marinades, vegetables, fruits, and meats. Besides this, vegetables, fruits, herbs, and meats need to be cleaned and washed. This could lead to a lot of spilling, splashing, and dripping on the floor, creating a dangerous slippery area for the staff. Thin rubber mats help reduce this danger and also help protect floors.
Gyms: With all the heavy weights being used in gyms, rubber flooring provides a good layer of protection for the floor as well as the weights. Rubber floor mats provide a non-slip surface that is so important when people work out, especially when aerobic activity and movement are involved.

The easiest and most visible way to bring on the wows is to invest in good décor—all over the office but particularly in your lobby and reception area. Plush furnishings and carpeting, good art, a beautifully designed reception console, and good furniture are a fool proof way to garner admiration and compliments. Add to that courteous staff, helpful service, and a good product, and you are on your way to success through word-of-mouth recommendations.
When it comes to good décor, the talk is incomplete without flooring and matting. And when we talk about flooring and matting in the service of good impressions, we cannot help but talk about Indoor Entrance Mats for commercial spaces.
The right indoor commercial entrance matting products can work in more ways than just one to give off the right professional vibe. First, entrance mats ensure that dirt and debris, which are capable of making quite a mess of your reputation, do not get a chance to easily enter your premises. A good entrance mat will help scrape, collect, hold, and hide dirt and grime. This helps keep the inside flooring and matting clean. Second, entrance mats will absorb moisture from shoe soles, so it does not follow them inside and create, not just a wet mess on the floors inside, but also slip and fall dangers. Third, entrance mats come in a range of materials and designs that look elegant even as they do their job, imparting a professional and upscale appearance to your premise entrance. And fourth, entrance mats can come in custom sizes to fit your design requirements, so you get a neat flush fit that just adds to the sophistication.
Let’s quickly run over the types of entrance mats we stock.
Made from 100% natural coconut husk fiber, coco entrance mats act like brush mats having exceptional scraping action. Coir fibers are course and work hard to scrape and trap dirt and moisture off shoe soles, so the insides of your premises stay clean and do not get wet and slippery.

You can get logo mats in synthetic as well as coir material, and they can be custom cut to a size of your preference.
Indoor mats are great at stopping dirt from entering your premises. They are designed to scrape off, hide, and hold dirt and moisture from shoe soles. Indoor entrance mats made from absorbent nylon, polyamide, and polypropylene fibers are great at wicking away and absorbing moisture to keep it off the floors and preventing slip and fall injuries. The highly absorbent fibers quickly soak up moisture from soles as people walk into the lobby. Their backing ensures that absorbed water stays inside the body of the mat and does not create an unsightly and dangerous puddles.
When used in areas that see excessive mud, dust, or moisture on shoe soles, indoor entrance mats are most effective used in combination with outdoor entrance mats. The indoor outdoor entrance mat system is more effective when intensive cleaning is required.

]]>There is no doubt those are the primary reasons to get indoor mats—for protection of floors and for keeping your premises looking clean and professional. However, it does not end there. Depending on their use, indoor matting serves various purposes. It can help drain out liquids and fluids, making an area safe for the people who walk or work there. Drainage Mats and Rubber Runner Matting would be case in point. Displaying the company’s logo and brand assets is another purpose, in which case Custom Logo Mats are the answer. If you have jobs that involve long durations of standing, then Anti-fatigue Mats would prove to be a relief for employee feet. Workshops and work areas that host expensive machinery and parts could reduce damages and costs by using a shock absorbent flooring such as a Rubber Runner Matting or Anti-fatigue Mats. For aesthetics, we have the warm eco-chic vibe of Coir Matting and Runners as well as the plush carpet look of Nylon and Polypropylene Mats and Runners. For entrances and lobbies, Entrance Mats with good scraping, absorption, and dirt concealing qualities will help keep the entrance area looking plush and professional. Urinals and washrooms would benefit from the placement of Urinal Mats.
As you can see, indoor matting is much more than just about keeping indoor floors clean and a business premise looking good. Indoor mats serve a wide range of functions inside of premises. Let’s take a look at the various kinds of indoor mats that we stock on Mat Supplier.
Indoor Entrance Mats
Indoor Entrance Mats have to keep floors clean and protected as well as look good as they sit inside premises. These mats are made from highly absorbent materials that soak up moisture as people walk into your lobby, keeping floors dry and reducing slip and fall dangers. Since they act as door mats, they also have good scraper capabilities that scrape dirt and mud off shoe soles and help prevent it from tracking inside your building. Finally, indoor entrance mats have fiber depth that helps hide the scraped dirt, taking it down to the bottom and out of plain site of visitors.
Synthetic Fiber Indoor Entrance Mats are either made purely or in combinations of nylon, polypropylene, and polyamide. These mats have a tufted plush look that goes well with upscale lobbies. We even have Vinyl Back Coco Entrance Mats for an eco-chic vibe. We have indoor mats for all kinds of budgets, whether you are looking for high end or economical mats. The mats can also be ordered in custom sizes.
Indoor entrance mats are even more effective when combined with outdoor entrance mats outside the front door to catch chunks of mud, ice/snow/moisture, and debris.
Indoor Custom Logo Mats are a great way to put your branding at your entrance where it is visible to all visitors. They can help increase brand recall. Custom logo mats can also be used to print instructions, directions, and mark areas to help visitors when navigating your premises. This is in addition to keeping floors clean as well as extending their lifespan, of course.
The main purpose of Indoor Drainage Mats is to allow water and fluids to pass through, ensuring a clean, slip-resistant surface. Most indoor drainage mats are made from rubber or PVC materials that provide padding and hence anti fatigue properties. Employees whose jobs involve long hours of standing in wet areas will benefit most from these mats. Since these mats are predominantly used in wet areas, they have some microbial properties to help contain spreading of germs and prevention of mold and mildew build-up.
With benefits such as anti-fatigue padding, elimination of slip and fall hazards, traction, hygiene and much more, indoor drainage mats are ideal for use in commercial kitchens, alongside pools, in warehouses, production facilities and any other wet area.
Unforgiving and cold hard floors in offices, workshops, and warehouses can cause constricted blood flow to the legs and fatigue.
Our Anti-fatigue Mats provide a flexible surface to stand on, promoting slight movement throughout the day to encourage blood flow to the legs, which leaves the user less fatigued, more energized. In one mat, anti fatigue mats help improve productivity, boost comfort levels, and safeguard the overall health of users over time.
In warehouses and commercial kitchens, anti fatigue mats make the area considerably safer by allowing liquids to sit below the surface. This decreases the chances of slips and falls.
Indoor Fiber Runner Matting is ideal in larger spaces such as hospitals and hotels, where large amounts of traffic walks through the premises on a regular basis. In these kinds of large traffic areas, it is tough for a single entrance mat to pick up all the dust, dirt, and moisture at the door. Runner floor mats add that additional flooring that help keep the floor clean and safe.
Strategically placed indoor runner mats can also help guide traffic through the building and significantly decrease the wear and tear on floors. They help reduce cleaning costs and slip and fall hazards.
Indoor Rubber and Heavy Duty Runner Mats
These mats serve multiple purposes in various areas. They can be used in commercial kitchens, alongside pools, in warehouses and production facilities, in places where there is expensive machinery.
These runners provide a wide indoor floor coverage and offer benefits such as anti-fatigue padding, elimination of slip and fall hazards, traction, hygiene, and much more. Production facilities, with oils, chemicals, grease and fluids spills, benefit most from heavy duty rubber runner matting.
Urinal mats help keep public washrooms safe and clean. These mats help absorb liquid to keep it off your floors and thus reduce the amount of work for your janitorial staff. Since there are no unattended spills on the floor, there is no odor either.
These urinal mats are best used in pubs and bars, stadiums, hotels, movie theatres, restaurants, and any public venue with a large number of patrons. They also work very well in offices that have large staff numbers. Once used, the mats can be disposed and replaced, making it even easier to keep washrooms clean and hygienic.
How many of the above types of indoor matting does your office, workshop, retail outlet, store, hotel, restaurant or eatery need?

Thanks to the absorbent quality, the mats quickly absorb spills and splashes. This not only contributes to keeping the restroom safe by reducing splash related slips and falls but also helps keep the washroom smelling fresh and clean. Uric acid, when left to dry on floors, emits a strong and unpleasant odor. Since the Floor Defender Urinal Splash Mat absorbs spills, it eliminates splash-related odors too, keeping the area smelling fresh and clean.
Highest anti-microbial and silver content
Floor Defender Urinal Splash Mats contain the highest content of anti-microbial and silver for superior odor control.
Sturdy, durable, and better quality
Many urinal mats are thinner and can fold in and create an uncovered non-ideal spot under the urinal. Floor Defender Splash Mats feature a latex rubber backing that grips the floor and does not fold up or crease. The pebble design on the backing also allows any moisture trapped under the mat to get evaporated quickly, preventing bacterial build-up under the mat. At a size of 21” x 20”, this is easily one of the largest urinal mats in the industry, offering the largest coverage for maximum floor protection. The mat has a blended charcoal color, so wet spots and soiling from dust and grime do not show.
These maintenance free restroom mats are disposable and last up to 30 days. After a month, you can dispose of the mats and replace with a new one.
If you want a hassle-free, sturdy, good performance urinal mat, then Floor Defender Splash Mat fits the bill.

Since these mats sit at your entrance, they enjoy high visibility.They are the first few things that people see when they enter an office, store, restaurant, hotel, or club. Hence, they are an ideal place to put a logo, a brand asset or some other marketing message. And that’s how you get a custom logo mat.
Though custom logo matting can be placed outdoors and indoors, they have slightly different functions in both locations. Outdoor logo mats are responsible for getting dirt off shoe soles before people enter the building or premise and hence, they need to have a strong scraper action. They also need to have the depth to hide a lot of dirt and keep it out of site till cleaning day. Finally, they need to be strong enough to withstand tough weather conditions that they are exposed to outside.
There are different expectations out of indoor logo mats. First, they normally are the second in line when it comes to being exposed to dirt from shoe soles. In most cases, a hardy outdoor mat has already cleaned most dirt from shoes. In these cases, indoor logo mats are placed to catch any remaining dirt so that the lobby remains spotless clean. As a result, they remain relatively cleaner most of the time. Second, indoor logo mats need not be confined to the entrance alone. They can be used across the showroom, store, office or facility as floor mats, display areas mats, area dividers, and more. Finally, indoor logo mats enjoy a longer period of visibility, as people wait in lobbies and reception areas and spend time in various indoor areas. Therefore, these mats need to look plush and sophisticated. Aesthetics and elements like colour, print, texture all matter.
There are usually 2 types of custom logo mats: inlaid logo mats and printed logo mats. We have written an in-depth post about both these types of logo mats, and it would prove helpful in understanding what kind of logo mats would be suitable for you. You can read that post here and here.
We stock 2 types of logo mats that would be well suited for indoor use.
Digi Print Logo Mats
Digi Print Logo Mats are efficient at trapping dirt and water and help keep the floor clean. They are made from Acid Dyed Continuous Filament Type 6, 6 Nylon, which make them absorbent, durable, and luxurious in appearance.

These indoor logo mats can be printed with your logo, company name, address, brand assets, tagline or any text of your choice, making them excellent marketing tools. Use them as doormats or as floor mats throughout the workspace. They come in a wide range of sizes, so you can find something to fit your requirements.

]]>In some establishments such as malls, parks, family recreation areas, and entertainment venues that see an excessively high level of traffic, maintaining aspirational levels of sanitation becomes difficult, if not impossible. In fact, it’s probably not an expectation we have from such venues for exactly that reason--extremely high traffic. It’s quite the opposite in upscale establishments, though. Whether or not they see a high level of traffic, ensuring the right sanitation in restrooms is vital to their image as a place that subscribes to the highest standards in everything. The more upscale the place, the more bathroom urinal mats have an important place in washrooms. They help preserve that sense of attention-to-detail, sophistication, and rigid cleanliness that their customers and visitors have come to expect. And hence, high-end places such as upscale office buildings, restaurants, hotels, country clubs, casinos, and health clubs will benefit the most from the use of urinal mats.
In fact, almost all businesses would benefit from using urinal mats in their restrooms.
Benefits of Urinal Mats
While the benefits of urinal mats are many, it must be noted that urinal mats will deliver these benefits only if properly maintained. All urinal mats lose their effectiveness when they become saturated. Most mats are designed to last around 30 days, after which they need to be replaced. However, in restrooms that see higher traffic, urinal mats absorb more spills and water and would get saturated faster, reducing their lifespan considerably. These places listed below would need urinal mats to be replaced more regularly in their washrooms.
Restaurants and Hotels: These establishments enjoy greater diner and visitor traffic. Hotels additionally are venues for conferences, meetings, exhibitions, weddings, and celebrations apart from having restaurants and shopping stores. This means a very high volume of traffic using washrooms. Thus, urinal mats in restaurants and hotels are bound to experience greater wear and tear and also reach saturation much faster.
Nightclubs, Discos, and Pubs: With the amount of alcohol doing the rounds inside nightclubs, discos, and pubs, washroom usage is very high. Experts say that if an establishment serves alcohol or food, the lifespan of urinal mats reduces considerably…even if floor mats are in place to absorb food and alcohol spills before they reach the washroom. Mats in such venues need to be changed more often to perform well.
K-12 Schools and Day Cares: Wherever there are small kids involved, the need for safety and hygiene is enhanced. K-12 schools and day cares have a lot of children using bathrooms. Even when assisted, they tend to splash and spill more. The use of urinal mats provides the right amount of on-floor sanitation for the tots. It goes without saying then that they also need to be replaced more regularly to maintain the expected levels of hygiene. Educational facilities that are trying to find optimally balanced cleaning solutions could find these mats working to their benefit.
Urinal Mat Life and Maintenance
Restrooms that see a lot of traffic will need urinal mats to be changed every five to seven days, say industry experts. These changes can be scheduled by cleaning staff. Some mats come with a built-in replacement sensor, so you get reminded when it’s time for a change.
Disposable urinal mats are the most common types of washroom mats. Replaced urinals mats can simply be discarded. Some mats are biodegradable, and all of the mat parts will biodegrade in less than 5 years in the landfill. Some mats can be washed and reused. For this, the right cleaning method should be ascertained and adhered to.

Most coir matting for commercial spaces comes with a vinyl backing that helps maintain its form, gives it longevity, and makes it easy to clean. Like every other kind of matting, coco matting required good care for it to last long and continue looking great. In this post, we’ll talk about how to care for and maintain vinyl backed coco mats.
Vacuum the mat with a commercial grade vacuum (motorized head with brushes recommended) to remove all dirt and debris. It’s important to do this regularly and is the best way to maintain the mats appearance and performance over time.
Tip: A slow pass instead of multiple quick passes of the vacuum will provide optimal results as it gives the brushes time to effectively rotate through the face the coir fiber so it can extract the dirt and debris.
Absorbent powder is recommended for interim cleaning. The powder contains a carrier, which incorporates a solvent and detergent so that oil and water debris can be absorbed by the powder.
Spread the powder on the mat allowing it to absorb dirt and moisture from the mat.
Vacuum the mat with a commercial grade vacuum (motorized head with brushes recommended) to remove all powder that has absorbed the dirt and grit.
Depending on the amount and type of traffic experienced a deep clean may be required. The most effective method for deep cleaning is hot water extraction.
Any furniture or fixtures on the mat should be removed to expose the entire surface. The mat should also be vacuumed to ensure that any loose dirt is removed to allow the extractor to be as effective as possible. For safety purposes you will want to block off the area and put up a “Wet Floor” sign.
There are different makes and models available on the market. Please refer to the manual for your device to properly operate it. You will achieve best results by slowly pulling the wand
towards you during the wetting and extracting processes. It is important however to work quickly and not leave area section wet without extraction as it can cause size variation of the backing overtime. When finished with the extractor allow the carpet time to dry completely and vacuum it again.
In certain situations, there may be a tough stain on a small section of the mat. In these cases, you would want to use one of the described methods in the following table. Each method number corresponds to the type of stain chart.
Caution: No mat fiber is stain proof. Hot liquids, bleaches and products containing naturals dyes such as curry, mustard, herbal tea etc., may cause permanent discoloration. These 2 tables given below will help you determine which type of stain requires what type of cleaning agent and how it should be used.
The numbers mentioned in this chart correspond to the cleaning agents in the table above.

]]>In the last post, we covered cleaning and maintaining nylon and nylon blend mats. In this post, we’re going to take you through the process of cleaning and maintaining polypropylene entrance mats. Let’s start by knowing bit more about polypropylene as a material to understand how it works in your entrance mat
Derived from a thermoplastic polymer, polypropylene fiber matting is very popular, as the fibers have an effective scraping action owing to their course texture. This makes polypropylene an especially good material for scraping dry dust and grime off shoe soles. Entrance matting made from polypropylene fibers is tough, resilient, and durable. This material even shows good resistant to chemicals. These mats are great for medium to high traffic areas as they show reasonably good crush resistance. Polypropylene is also weatherproof and can withstand mildew, rot, moisture, and changing weather conditions with ease. Another advantage of polypropylene is that the colors do not fade. The color is added during the fiber creation process and is sealed into the material. This means polypropylene matting can come in a wide range of colours and looks new for a lot longer. The matting is ideal for indoor or outdoor use and can be used when longer length matting is required to capture dirt in reception areas. Cost-wise it is less expensive than nylon and this makes it a preferred choice for matting for retail, offices, hotels, and leisure industries.
Vacuum
Oil stains should be treated with more urgency as polypropylene tends to absorb oil, which could result in the stain setting fast. Oil stains may require a dry cleaning liquid to tackle them. Blot gently till stain is gone and then vacuum.
Note: To be safe, test all cleaners on a less visible section of the mat to check if it reacts with the material.
For dirt, mud, and other solid stains:
Washing
Polypropylene mats are really low maintenance but even they need to be washed clean every now and then, especially since they sit at your business premise entrance and create first impressions!
Drying
To dry the mat, lean it against a wall or lay it on a sloping surface, as this will drain off water more effectively. You can peg the mat on a clothesline, hang it on a railing, or put it on a drying rack. Drying should be done outdoors but not in direct sunlight, as this will damage the mat and compromise its longevity. Ensure both sides have dried before bringing the mat in to use again.
Annual Professional Cleaning
A yearly professional wash will help increase mat life and keep it looking new and elegant longer.
Some of our polypropylene mats that would benefit from this maintenance routine:

]]>Different surface materials means the cleaning, maintenance, and longevity will also differ.
In this post, we will cover how to clean and maintain nylon and nylon blended entrance mats.
Material
Nylon is a synthetic fiber and is considered a top notch material for entrance mats. The reason it is so popular and in demand is that it has a whole list of properties that make the carpet/matting last long and look great. There are many types of nylon, and use determines the type used in matting. Nylon has a luxurious look that makes it ideal when you want a plush appearance for your entrance. It has excellent brushing and scraping ability that ensures clean spaces. Good crush resistance means the matting remains resilient and "bounces back" even under the most heavy foot traffic conditions. Nylon has a certain amount of stain resistance by itself, but if it has been dyed, then the stain resistance of nylon fibers increases considerably as the color penetrates the fiber rather than just coat the surface. This also means that the color won't fade easily. And as though all these were not enough, nylon dries really fast, hence, no soggy messy floors or wet moldy matting. It's easy to see why nylon is such a favourite matting material.
Cleaning and Care
1. Vacuum
2. Cleaning Spills
If there is a spill on your nylon mat, clean it immediately. Here is how:
3. Annual Professional Cleaning.
Get matting professionally cleaning once a year at least for a deep clean that gets rid of the build-up of dirt, dust, and grime that the vacuum cleaner can't.

]]>Pools are wet areas and, in general, present the associated danger of slipping and falling on wet slippery floors. But during the hot summer months, when there are a larger-than-normal number of people in and out of the water, that danger becomes more pronounced.
Using tiles that reduce slipping hazards is the numero uno solution, but it can be expensive and would put your pool area out of action for a while. Instead, retain the poolside tiles that you have and use drainage mats to effectively reduce slippery floors and associated hazards. Drainage mats are one of the easiest and quickest ways to prevent slipping due to wet floors. Their drainage channels and holes get water off the surface and under the matting where it can do no harm. They are quick to install, easy to clean, and economical.
We have 3 drainage matting options that you can choose from based on your budget, need, and premise.
Dura Flex 120 Comfort Drain Runner Matting is a great drainage matting to use alongside pools. Made out of 100% rubber, the matting is resilient yet very comfortable under bare feet. The drainage holes along with the elevated surface allow these mats to quickly drain water and avoid the accumulation of any of it on the surface, which can create dangerous slip and fall conditions.
Heron Rib II Matting is an excellent slip-resistant PVC anti-fatigue matting with a 4-way drainage system. The strong, non-porous PVC material with channeled underbars allows even large amounts of water to drain out. This creates a safe slip-free area around pools, locker rooms, and showers.
The matting has built-in antimicrobial protection that prevents the growth of mold or mildew in wet environments. This combined with the soft surface layer makes Heron Rib perfect for bare feet use. And since the matting is made from UV resistant material, it's great for outdoor use.
Available in a choice of eye-catching colors that create a visually appealing area around your pools and other wet areas.
Boardwalk Modular Tiles are a heavy-duty entrance matting system that has excellent drainage capabilities. The modular design of the tiles allows you to cover the exact area around your pool and create a custom-built look. The design also allows you to replace any damaged tiles over time without having to replace the entire system. Boardwalk Modular Tiles are also built to be resilient and durable, designed to last a long time in the toughest of conditions.

]]>Every restaurant tries to ensure that they hire and retain great chefs and keep improving their menu offerings. Likewise, hiring experienced staff and proper training of staff will help them know how to make a customer feel well taken care of. Most of the times, ambiance and décor are handed over to professional decorators, and they do a great job of making the restaurateur’s vision a spacial reality. Hygiene and maintenance of the place, however, are still things that a restaurant has to handle on a daily basis. Any lapses in these would earn the place a reputation for sloppiness and lack of hygiene.
In addition, a restaurant also has to ensure that safety standards are adhered to at all points—for customers as well as for staff.
How do mats fit into this picture? In this post, we will show you how mats contribute to maintaining safety and hygiene at restaurants and also participate in creating a professional, upscale ambiance.
Entrance
In the restaurant business, first impressions go a long way. Based on the entryway, customers will form an opinion about the kind of place it is and the kind dining experience they are in for. No surprises then that restaurants invest so much in a beautiful entryway and reception area. A great way to create a good first impression even before customers enter the restaurant premises is to invest in good entrance mats.
An outdoor entrance mat that leads up to the restaurant entrance not only brushes off dirt from shoe soles and keeps the insides clean but also helps create an upscale, professional look. A good entrance mat should be able to scrape dirt off, hide it away from plain sight, and hold it until the mat gets cleaned.
An indoor entrance mat is just an additional layer of cleaning to help ensure that the insides remain as clean as possible. The mats can be made from nylon, rubber, vinyl, coir, or polypropylene. These synthetic material indoor/outdoor entrance mats work great at creating a crisp professional entryway.
Custom logo mats are another great way to bring a professional look to the entryway with the added advantage of marketing your brand and building recall. You can get your restaurant name and logo printed or inlaid for a very sophisticated and luxurious look. You can also customize the size and fitting of the mats for a flawless and plush look.
Reception Area
The reception area is where diners and guests gather briefly before they are seated at their tables. A part of the entryway, reception areas can further cement a customer’s opinion about the place. The use of luxurious statement rugs and carpets have been a top choice to help create a luxurious, warm, and welcoming look. Their only drawback is that they are delicate and a tad costlier to maintain.

If you are looking for something elegant yet rugged, then carpet tiles from Cocomatsnmore are a good idea. The peel and stick tiles can be easily deployed by you and are easy to use, though getting things done from experts will ensure the job is done professionally and efficiently.
Do not forget to invest in good quality anti-fatigue mats for your reception area staff. Their job involves long hours of standing during business hours to greet customers as well as check reservations.
A good anti-fatigue mat will make their job easier as their feet will be less strained, and their discomfort will be vastly reduced.
Seating Area
This is every restaurant’s star area. This is where customers spend over 90% of their visit to the place. Here is where they catch up, converse, relax, celebrate, and dine. It should appeal to them, welcome them, put them at ease, and be comfortable to be in. Since so much happens here, the flooring should be non-fussy and sturdy. Tiles and stone flooring are the best choices for seating areas because of their durability and sturdiness.
Tiled Flooring
Since no dining is complete without some amount of food and liquid spills, these flooring options are ideal as they are very easy to clean and maintain.
Laminate and vinyl flooring are emerging trends, and you get a good choice of designs in both these types of flooring. They cost a lot less, are easy to install, easy to clean, are a great substitute for wood and, therefore, eco-friendly.
Laminate Flooring
Vinyl Flooring
Unlike tiles and stone flooring, they can be changed as you change your restaurant decor without costing you an arm and a leg.
Kitchen
This is the place where all the culinary action happens. It is the place where genius is exhibited and Michelin Star deserving dishes are whipped up. The kitchen is the messiest place in a restaurant and yet one where hygiene and safety matter the most. Drain Through Mats, with their drainage holes allow food, curry, soup, grease, and liquid spills and drips to drain down off the surface where they will not make staff slip. The materials used are tough and can withstand heat and rough treatment.
Their light anti-fatigue property means that chefs and food prep area staff do not feel the full brunt of long hours spent standing. This is an advantage because fatigued staff members are stressed, distracted, and unable to perform as well as they would like to. Hence these mats are a very good investment for your kitchen's hygiene as well as the well being of your staff.
Deep freezers have a wet and icy environment and, hence, are also rife with the danger of slips and falls. It is extremely important to install mats here that have excellent traction that greatly reduces slipping, skidding, and injuries. Check out Deep Freeze Mats by Canadamats; they provide just the right traction.
Washrooms
Bathrooms and washrooms are teaming with germs and, by virtue of being wet areas, always present higher risks of slips and falls. Using absorbent mats that have a stronger grip are essential and of utmost importance. Synthetic mats are great at absorbing and holding water in their surface material. They also have a firm grip and do not shift around easily. They come in a wide range of colors and designs and are a great way to ensure the safety of guests.
Inside bathrooms, it is a good practice to lay out Urinal mats. They are the easiest way to reduce germs from travelling on shoe soles into seating areas, where people eat and where there could be children playing on the floors.
As a restaurateur, you may have quickly grasped how these mats are a good investment that ensures elegance, safety or hygiene in your restaurant, eatery or bar.Have queries? Feel free to get in touch with us. Our number is 866-362-2053 and our email address is sales@matsupplier.com
]]>Most business owners are aware that entrance mats help keep premises clean and make them look professional. Those are the most basic functions that every entrance mat is expected to perform. However, there are a few other functions and advantages that not everyone has given a lot of thought to. Let’s take a look at them, so you realize exactly how hard entrance mats work.
Slip-resistant Safety in Wet Weather
Let’s all just agree right at the start that where there’s a floor, slipping hazard is always present. Tiles and stone flooring, though mostly safe when dry, turn unpredictable in wet conditions. As people step in from outdoors, they bring with them water on shoe soles and dripping from bags, umbrellas, and coats. This leaves a wet trail that increases the chances of people slipping and falling as they step on it.
Absorbent outdoor entrance mats, sometimes in combination with indoor entrance mats, help siphon off most of the water lacing shoe soles and dripping from accessories and gear. This means the flooring inside remains drier and the chances of dangerous slips, falls--and lawsuits--is drastically reduced. Since almost all entrance mats come with a rubber or vinyl base, most of the absorbed moisture stays collected under the surface, so your office or lobby continues to look clean. Collected water can be easily cleaned off later without creating a mess.
Economical and Durable Flooring Option
A lot of businesses invest in expensive carpets and rugs to create a more sophisticated entrance ambiance, which they do…with substantial maintenance costs involved! Because carpets and rugs are mainly for décor purposes, the utilitarian angle is often neglected. When used in areas that see plenty of foot traffic—such as lobbies and entrances—the comparatively delicate carpets and rugs tend to wear out faster, reducing their longevity as well as aesthetics.
As a product, entrance matting for commercial spaces has utility and durability built into it. With carpet-look surfaces, entrance mats can look every bit as chic and elegant as rugs and carpets do. It’s really a win-win situation for businesses, as they get a professional look for their entrances and lobbies, enjoy lower maintenance costs, and have a long-lasting product that offers more value for the money spent.
Easy to Customize, Install, and Maintain
Entrance matting does not involve any lengthy installation procedures. It can be delivered and deployed in no time, so there is no inconvenience or downtime on account of installation.
Entrance mats can also be customized for size and shape, so you can get one made that perfectly fits your entrance. They can be printed or inlaid with branding such as company name, logo, tagline, and more to serve as perfect marketing tools…for free! They come in a range of colours, so there will be something that will complement your office décor.
There you have it then! Every business owner can see right away that entrance mats are the smartest solution for their business premise entrance. There are a wide range of entrance mats, and if you would like to know which one would work optimally for you, call us on 866-362-2053 for a chat about the possibilities. Alternatively, you can email us on sales@matsupplier.com and we’ll get back to you.

Why Inlaid Custom Logo Mats?
These mats are of more superior quality than other logo mats. As a result, they are durable and long-lasting. Moreover, they don’t involve printing, so there is no chance of the design fading out over time. The mats look more luxurious, high quality, and professional--a good investment for companies who would like to create a compelling first impression.
Though inlaid custom logo mats can be used anywhere, their aesthetics and price make them perfect for offices, showrooms, retail stores, upscale restaurants, and posh hotels.
The Inlay Process
Step 1: You send us the design of your choice. It can be a logo, your company name, your tagline, your company motto, or social media information.
Step 2: A design template is created based on the artwork you send us. This is placed on a base mat and with a precision cutting machine, we manually cut elements of the design such as shapes, alphabets etc. out of the base mat.
Step 3: Various elements are then cut out from different coloured mats of the same material based on the design.
Step 4: These cut elements are inlaid back into the base mat in the relevant places.
Step 5: This is the final step when all parts—elements as well as the base mat—are bonded together to a reinforced rubber backing. The mat is now ready to be dispatched!
Almost all custom logo mats use solution-dyed polypropylene material. You cannot print on this material, making it perfect for use in inlaid logo mats. The inlay process can also be carried out using other materials such as coir. What’s important is that the mats have a sturdy backing.

]]>Here are some outdoor areas where the right mat can make a huge difference.
Covered Areas
For covered outdoor areas--under canopies, covered decks, tents—coco runners are a great option. Since these outdoor areas are usually used for entertainment events and weddings, coco runners help create a befitting breezy, beachy, natural vibe. Our coco matting work particularly well for beach weddings, allowing the bridal party to walk down the aisle smoothly and without kicking up sand.
Wet Areas
Those of you with backyard pools or hot tubs, purchasing good matting with a strong grip is crucial. The wood decks and tiles around the pool can get dangerously slippery and can result in some pretty nasty slips.
