Entrance Mats<\/a>: An Essential Investment for Any Building. Properly maintained entrance mats enhance any building and provide multiple benefits. In the post-COVID economy, companies have become more cautious about spending and prefer cost-saving investments. At COBA, we understand this challenge. True to our slogan, “More than just Matting,”<\/em> we focus on delivering cost-effective solutions for every situation. Replacing an entrance mat requires investment, and budget constraints don\u2019t always allow for frequent replacements. That\u2019s why the COBA team educates customers on the benefits of regular cleaning and maintaining to extend a mat\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\n

Troubleshooting Your Entrance Mat<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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

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

Traffic Considerations for cleaning and maintaining<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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

Consider these questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Do people entering your building wear high heels?<\/li>\n
  • Can a wheelchair move easily over the mat?<\/li>\n
  • Do trolleys frequently roll across the mat?<\/li>\n
  • Do vehicles, such as cars or forklifts, drive over the mat?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Each application requires expert evaluation to ensure the best matting solution.<\/p>\n

    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

    In contrast, warehouse entrances experience different traffic patterns. To select the right mat, consider:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • How heavy are the forklifts using the entrance?<\/li>\n
    • How often do forklifts enter the warehouse?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      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":"
