There are many different reasons why the manager of a commercial, industrial or hospitality industry will choose a placement of a mat. A company, for example, may require a carpet to enhance its image while a supermarket may want to mainly prevent slides and flaws. Other facilities simply need a resilience solution for high traffic and to avoid the mud and dirt that visitors might carry inside the building.

This means that the hospital manager would possibly choose a different type of mat, for example, from a supermarket manager. But what criteria do they decide on which carpet is suitable for a facility?

K.E. Dust Control offers a range of options from a simple entrance mat to professional mat, for busy venues such as commercial buildings and airports.

In each case of space that the mat will be installed the place and location should be considered before the placement in order to see if there is a recess or smooth surface. If the entrance has an unusual shape or a rotating door system, and how much wear the mat it is likely to take. In some cases, it should also look at the kind of footwear that may be worn by users. Other factors to be considered include how often the mat should be cleaned, the cleaning method required, its suitability for access by wheel objects (e.g., wheelchairs, suitcases) and the cost of the product. It is also important to weigh the main properties that will be needed to fulfill the mats mission as they will vary according to the type of building. A mat for a hospital, for example, should be suitable for access by a wheelchair and trolley. It should also be able to absorb moisture and dust from footwear.

Since hospitals are usually an environment of increased traffic, a durable mat with durable ironing properties is essential. Careful cleaning is imperative in this type of environment which means that an entry system with a solid surface is preferable.

Good resistance to wear is also required in a supermarket, as the store will attract increased traffic. The mat here should be able to withstand the weight and constant pressure from the strollers while allowing easy access. If the mat is not installed in a recess then oblique edging is required for easy access and to prevent rollover risks.  Entry mats in an office must be practical and functional. They should also create a good impression of the company's image for visitors. Mats with the company logo are a popular choice for companies interested in promoting their brand or corporate message. There are several new technologies for trapping pollutants. Outdoor PVC carpets are placed on the outside of the entrance, recessed or free in front of the entrance. It keeps dirt and sludge at the base, giving you a clean look at your entrance. The type of building usually determines the type of mat in relation to the purpose of using the building. Up to 80 percent of the dust in the facility is transferred from the visitors' shoes and the mat should ensure that the majority of the dirt has stopped at the entrance.
