Most businesses treat floor mats like an afterthought. Grab something cheap, throw it down, and hope for the best. Then they wonder why their lobby always looks scuffed up and why they’re constantly dealing with slip hazards.
The problem isn’t that mats don’t work; it’s that they don’t work well enough. It’s that most places are using the wrong ones. A good commercial mat system doesn’t just sit there looking pretty. It actively pulls moisture and debris off shoes before they hit your expensive flooring. It prevents that grimy buildup that makes even clean spaces look tired. And it reduces your liability when the weather gets nasty.
At Model Coverall Service, we’ve spent over a century figuring out what actually works in real-world conditions. We don’t just drop off mats and disappear. We study your traffic patterns, understand your specific challenges, and design a mat service program that keeps your floors protected and your business looking sharp.
From Michigan manufacturing plants to Indiana office buildings, we’ve learned that every space has different needs, and cookie-cutter solutions don’t cut it.
Why Mat Service Matters Throughout Industries
A professional mat service ensures that your mats remain clean, effective, and in good condition from week to week. Instead of purchasing mats that degrade over time and gather bacteria, a rental program includes regular laundering, inspection, and replacement.
This not only saves you money in the long run, but it also keeps your facility looking sharp and operating safely.
Types of Mats for Your Business
Here are the different types of mats you can include in your facility, based on your specific layout and industry.
1. Appearance Mats
Designed to enhance the look of your entryways or lobbies, these mats are NFSI-certified and come with 100% nitrile rubber backing for superior slip resistance. Available in a variety of colors and sizes, they trap dirt and water while complementing your interior space.
2. Executive Mats
These upscale mats offer a softer look and static-dissipative properties, making them ideal for office entrances, front desks, and waiting areas. The nylon pile surface provides comfort and style, while the nitrile rubber backing ensures the mat remains in place.
3. Logo Mats (Including High-Definition)
Show off your brand with custom-designed mats that feature your company’s logo. Perfect for retail entrances, reception areas, or anywhere you want to make a strong first impression. High-definition options offer incredible detail and photographic quality.
4. Scraper Mats
Keep dirt, snow, and debris out of your workspace with durable scraper mats. These tough mats are ideal for industrial entrances, loading docks, or production zones where heavy foot traffic and outdoor elements come inside.
5. Ulti-Mats
These brush-style mats feature a water-dam edge to trap moisture and debris. They are static-dissipative and built for ultimate soil retention, making them a great option for high-traffic areas where cleanliness matters.
6. Cotton Mats
For oily, greasy, or wet environments, cotton mats deliver excellent absorbency. Use them near service bays, garages, or food prep areas where other materials may struggle to perform.
7. Safety Slogan Mats
Get all the benefits of a traditional mat while reinforcing safety messages to your team. We rotate slogans regularly to keep the messaging fresh and impactful. These mats are great for production floors, warehouses, and industrial zones.
8. Anti-Fatigue Mats
Standing for long periods can wear down your team’s energy and lead to back and leg strain. Our 100% nitrile rubber anti-fatigue mats provide cushioning, resist grease and oil, and help reduce injury risks in standing environments.
9. Comfort Flow Mats
These antimicrobial mats drain water and prevent slips in wet environments such as commercial kitchens, dishwashing stations, and bar areas. They provide both safety and comfort, especially in spots where employees stand for long periods of time.
