Importance of Entrance Flooring

What Questions to Ask

Do these systems function as intended?

Carpet tiles have become popular due to their perceived cost-effectiveness, but they don't allow for adequate fall-through of dirt. Over 90% of moisture, dirt and contaminants can be removed from footwear after walking over just 10' of effective entrance flooring systems.

How does maintenance affect your product choices?

There is no getting around it - building maintenance is a daily responsibility. Taking proactive steps to ensure a client's building remains clean will not only keep the maintenance staff happy - it will save time and money as well.

Consider the statistics

Some experts estimate that "floor maintenance can account for as much as 80 percent of a facility's cleaning budget."

Environmental Impacts

Snow, Ice & Rain

A system that uses absorbent heavy-duty carpet inserts with aggressive dirt removing capabilities is the best choice for this type of weather.

Dust & Sand

Opt for a system with more fall-through capabilities and tread inserts that capture or remove fine particles.
