Benefits of Door Mats

It has been calculated that up to 80% of interior dirt, dust and soil is brought into the building by foot traffic. With the use of an effective doormat at your building entrance you can ensure that the majority of dirt, grit and moisture will be stopped at the entrance. This helps to reduce the need for costly floor cleaning and maintenance significantly.

An optimum length of doormat has been established. The recommended length is a minimum of 12 – 15 feet ( 4 – 5 metres) of doormat at the entrance to your premises. This allows for each foot to come into contact with the doormat at least 3 times. This  minimum length of doormat will ensure that the vast majority of  dirt, grit and moisture is removed from shoes and boots.

Quality doormats are designed to:

Remove dirt, grit, dust and moisture from shoes
Prevent debris, dirt and moisture  from entering your premises
Improve the appearance of entrance areas
Reduce slip hazards

Depending on the type of doormat, one square metre of doormat can hold up to half a litre of water and remove half a  kilogram of dirt in a week, this significantly reduces cleaning and maintenance costs and helps to prevent trip and slip hazards.
