Due to the current economic climate, companies have become more cautious with spending and prefer to invest in solutions that can save money in the long run. At COBA, we fully understand this challenge and remain committed to the principle behind our slogan, \u201cMore than just Matting,\u201d by providing cost-effective solutions tailored to each situation.<\/p>\n<p>Replacing an entrance mat is an investment, and budgets don\u2019t always allow for such expenses. This is why the COBA team likes to inform our customers about the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coba.com\/za\/clean-entrance-matting\">cleaning and maintaining<\/a> to maximise your mats useful life.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"757\"><strong data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"755\">Troubleshooting Your Entrance Mat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"759\" data-end=\"953\">To maintain your entrance mat effectively, first determine its intended application. With expert analysis, you can select the best solution for your entrance, ensuring long-term functionality.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"1248\">Our trained experts conduct site surveys to guide you through the selection process. Before installing any entrance mat, we consider multiple factors to ensure correct specification and installation. Proper installation allows you to maintain the mat efficiently and maximize its durability.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1311\"><strong data-start=\"1254\" data-end=\"1309\">Traffic Considerations for cleaning and maintaining<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1313\" data-end=\"1541\">Foot traffic causes the most wear on entrance mats. If your building experiences high foot traffic, you may need a more durable mat to protect interior flooring. The type of traffic also determines the best mat for your needs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1570\">Consider these questions:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1784\">\n<li data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1625\">Do people entering your building wear high heels?<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1672\">Can a wheelchair move easily over the mat?<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1720\">Do trolleys frequently roll across the mat?<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1784\">Do vehicles, such as cars or forklifts, drive over the mat?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"1868\">Each application requires expert evaluation to ensure the best matting solution.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1870\" data-end=\"2200\">For example, shopping centers must accommodate various types of traffic, including heeled shoppers, shopping trolleys, wheelchair users, and even vehicles showcasing products inside the center. Without proper consideration, an unsuitable mat may be installed, leading to issues such as lifting or tearing\u2014creating a trip hazard.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2202\" data-end=\"2310\">In contrast, warehouse entrances experience different traffic patterns. To select the right mat, consider:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2411\">\n<li data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2363\">How heavy are the forklifts using the entrance?<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2364\" data-end=\"2411\">How often do forklifts enter the warehouse?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2413\" data-end=\"2526\">By addressing these factors, we help businesses choose mats that enhance safety, durability, and functionality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entrance mats\u00a0are an important addition to any
