One of the most overlooked elements of any business is its floors. Unfortunately, floors are often the first thing that a customer sees when they enter a business. Dirt accumulates on them quickly and can remain there without constant vigilance and the tools to remove it.

A business is only as good as its reputation. Owners can dedicate resources to marketing, but nothing can sway the market more strongly than a crafted public image. Public perception can precede your brand and impact sales and customer attitudes. Existing business reputations can encourage or deter potential customers. In fact, studies show that more than half of customers say they avoid a brand with a bad online reputation. Improving your business’ public perception, therefore, is an essential step in growing your business.

Every business can use a mat, but what KIND of mat service and mat suits your company the best? There are tons of varieties of mats available in the marketplace and knowing which one is right for you can make the difference between a safe warehouse and a dangerous one.
Using the correct commercial mats can give your company a layer of protection for your facility’s floors but also in helping increase productivity and increase efficiency on the work floor.
Different Types of Commercial Mats
Planning your floor mats begins with knowing which options you have and understanding what each type of mat does and ultimately how it can help with your facility’s specific needs.
Here are the types of floor mats you can find from our floor mat rental service and how they work:
Logo and Specialty Message Mats
Logo mats are standard or scraper mats that have been improved with the addition of graphics. The most common choice for these specialized mats is, of course, having the brand logo printed on the surface. This adds personality to an otherwise bland and overlooked tool, and it’s a surefire way to let your customers know that they have arrived at your facility. In addition to these brand marketing powerhouses, logo mats are also often printed with slogans and even seasonal messages. Either way, they are a great and powerful way to welcome your customers to your space and hence are best suited for lobbies and entryways.
Does your business need logo or specialty message mats? Definitely.
Anti-Fatigue Mats
Anti-fatigue mats are, as the name implies, specially designed to relieve fatigue for the lower extremities and made for workers who work on their feet for extended periods of time. The value of these special floor mats lies in their material. They are not simply soft and comfortable to stand on. Unlike regular floor mats, the materials of anti-fatigue mats are so designed to cause the feet to make unconscious, effortless micro-movements while standing. These micro-movements help shift the weight around the different areas of the feet and the legs so the fatigue is not concentrated on just one area. Also, these micro-movements promote better blood circulation in the feet, legs and thighs, as well as the lower back so workers are not as tired at the end of their shift.
Does your business need anti-fatigue mats? Certainly – if your business has areas where workers are required to stand on their feet for long periods (i.e. commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, factories, lobbies and reception areas, factories, and other similar facilities).
Comfort Flow Mats
Comfort flow mats are an upgraded version of regular anti-fatigue mats. Apart from the added support and comfort, these specialized mats are also designed to allow liquids to pass through them instead of retaining moisture under the surface, which creates slip hazards. Most comfort flow mats available on the market also feature anti-bacterial properties to help prevent the buildup of molds and bacteria despite the constant exposure to liquids. These are the best types of commercial mats for wet-area facilities like certain warehouses, repair shops, and kitchens.
Does your business need comfort flow mats? Absolutely, if you have areas that are constantly wet.
Making the Right Floor Mat Choice
Commercial mats are no cheap investment. In making your purchase, here are some of the most important qualities to look out for:
NFSI Certification. The National Floor Safety Institute badge indicates that the mats that you have are up to par with safety standards regarding slip, trip, and fall accidents.
Quality Materials. The durability of your mats, and the efficacy of special mats like comfort flow and anti-fatigue types, depend greatly on the materials. Rent commercial mats that are made of materials like high–density nitrile rubber for superior durability.
Design. Check for the edges and overall construction of your mats, because they affect the overall safety and effectiveness of the mats on the floor.
Size. On top of the material and design, the size of mats helps define how effectively mats work to protect your floors or provide feet support.
Maintenance. Some mats are easier to maintain than others. Some need to be cleaned more frequently, while others require specialized cleaning methods and machines to get the best possible results. It is for this reason that mat rental services prove to be the better and more convenient option because they relieve you of the burden of cleaning and maintenance.

Restaurant Mats and Mops
With winter storms kicking around the Midwest, getting your linens, mops and towels delivered on-time is a real must. Customers have to feel safe in your establishment and to do that, floors have to be clean and dry. However, the same customers are bringing in the moisture from outside, and tracking it all over your floors. When you work with Tipton Linen, you can get clean mats and mops delivered to your establishment and make sure that your customers are safe from slips and falls while making your business look professional and clean.
Mats can come in plain non-slip or branded varieties. Branded mats will show off your business’ name and lend some curb appeal to your shop while keeping dirt and moisture at your doorstep where it belongs.
Mops are just as important in the winter. Keeping your floors clean of debris, dirt and other hazards are vital, and you need clean mops to keep them that way. Keeping on top of it is vital to avoid slips, falls, and the lawsuits that come along with them. They also help keep your floors looking great and your establishment presentable, instead of a dirt-streaked mess that many places become in the winter.
You won’t find cleaner linens and supplies and better customer service than you will at Tipton Linens.
Restaurants are notoriously difficult to keep clean and presentable. You see an army of customers through your door, you have employees coming in and out, and you deal with changing situations at all times. Letting an experienced linen company like Tipton Linens gives you an edge on the competition by bringing you clean linens on a regular schedule. Unlike other linen companies, Tipton doesn’t force every restaurant into the same plan, either. We believe in custom solutions for businesses that have ever-changing demands.

What many people don’t know is just how much dirt the floor of a business can actually accumulate. One square yard of commercial carpeting can accumulate a full pound of dirt in just a week, with wet weather doubling that! While a vacuum cleaner struggles to remove even 10% of that dirt, an entrance mat that is cleaned and replaced by Tipton Linen can actually stop up to 70% of this dirt from even crossing your threshold and keep it at the door where it belongs.
