BUYING RUBBER MATS & FLOORING

LOBBY AND ENTRANCE

A report into the costs of cleaning, carried out by the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, showed that a business can spend up to £50,000 a year on the removal of soil and dirt tracked into a building (based on 500 working in a building 5 days per week). Our large range of entrance and lobby mats is perfect for customers to wipe their shoes on, keeping dirt and moisture from entering your venue.

The Bolero entrance mats are designed to help keep your floors clean by trapping dirt before it enters the premises. These anti-slip, machine washable mats are designed for use in any venue, from schools and healthcare institutes, to restaurants and hotels.

When cleaning fabric entrance mats, you must first ensure all dust is removed by scrubbing with a hand brush. If you have a machine washable entrance mat, putting it in the wash with towels can actually help to clean it more efficiently. The towels act as scrubbing brushes during the wash cycle and help to remove stubborn dirt and stains.

BARS

Having rubber matting behind bars is crucial to keeping your bartenders comfortable and productive, as well as safe. As the name suggests, anti-fatigue matting acts as suspension for joints such as ankles, knees and hips, reducing walking impact and helping to relieve joint stress. This comfort and practicality is crucial for areas that are in constant use, such as busy bars or behind counters. Consider the thickness of the matting you want when purchasing, as a thicker mat can be more expensive, but offers greater comfort over long periods.

Most anti-fatigue matting is slightly raised from the ground and comes with holes for drainage, which is also extremely useful at drinks service stations and bars. According to the Health and Safety Executive, 90% of slip accidents in public buildings occur on wet floors, therefore an effective and quality matting system is integral to the safety of your staff and customers.

Mats such as the Bolero rubber anti-fatigue mat are ideal for use behind bars.

KITCHEN - FOOD PREPARATION

Kitchen mats need to be robust, safe and easy to clean. Rubber fatigue mats with grease-resistance are essential in areas where there is the chance of grease splashing onto the floor. Grease-resistance is important to reduce the chance of chefs and kitchen staff slipping.

KITCHEN - SINKS AND WASHING AREAS

Areas in kitchens where grease is not present can still benefit from rubber matting, adding a layer of comfort and support for staff. Anti-fatigue mats that are used behind bars are also ideally suited to use in walk-in freezers, storage rooms and at sinks and washing stations, allowing staff to work in comfort. Having a protective mat also helps to protect the floor from scratches and marks from dropped utensils and kitchenware.
