The use of eco-friendly materials is quickly becoming a leading trend in commercial real estate development, and commercial floor mats are no exception. Today, a comprehensive range of Eco-Friendly Mats that reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance are available. These Green floor mats come in an array of vivid color options and some may even be customized with a company logo, slogan, or insignia!
Eco-Friendly Floor Mats
Controlling the accumulation of dirt and debris is of extreme importance to property owners, facility managers, and all others who have a vested interest in a specific piece of commercial real estate. From a traditional business perspective, keeping workspaces clean has a few direct benefits:
- Provides defense against liability resulting from accidental slip-and-fall.
- Creates the appearance of a clean and professional place of business, thereby increasing consumer confidence, sales, and profitability.
- Bacteria and contamination control in sensitive environments like laboratories, restaurants, and hospitals.
In the wake of the new Eco-friendly Building trend, however, new Green matting and flooring products have gained added prestige for their ability to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing aesthetic appeal, functionality, or price.
