The Best Floor Mats for Schools and Educational Facilities
Today’s students are held to high expectations to achieve all that they can from the moment they step into a classroom until the day they enter their careers thereafter. While students are working harder than the average 9-5 employee, school facility managers are working overtime to ensure that their educational facility is properly equipped, all to guarantee student and staff safety. This is where floor mats come in.
Maintenance departments often look to budgets to determine which mats to choose for school and university spaces. At the foundation of it all, however, it all comes back to the importance of safety and environmental maintenance. Due to seasonal factors like rain and snow, facilities in the northeast of the country are at a high risk for slip and fall accidents. To safeguard students, educational institutions should properly equip entrance walkways with matting that assists in minimizing health and safety risks.
How Does Health Mats Work with Schools and Universities?
When you trust Health Mats with the safety of your dedicated students, the first step is to have a floor safety specialist visit your facility or campus and meet with the maintenance department. It is important to survey every building right from the start so that we can get a sense of foot traffic. This allows us to make the best recommendations for mat sizes and types of mats.
Once we have an idea of the quantity and size of mats needed, we can recommend a mat program that covers all your bases! Our proposals are written so that our customers know exactly what we will deliver, when and where it will be delivered, and what the monthly charge will be. Health Mats does not add any additional charges, so our customers will always know what they are paying for. The most important part of a Health Mats program is our reliability.
Educational facilities can depend on Health Mats to deliver mats and facility products on a weekly schedule, if needed – and if there is a special event or something unexpected happens, Health Mats will even provide a special delivery.
Types of Mats to Prioritize
Due to the multipurpose nature of schools, it’s important to look at a wide variety of floor matting to find the right combination that suits your facility’s specific needs. Entrance and scraper mats are ideal for doorways, while shower mats prevent slip-and-fall hazards in gym locker rooms.
In addition, anti-fatigue mats are perfect for cafeterias and other areas where staff might be on their feet for long periods of time. As noted before, staff safety is just as important as student safety.
When choosing floor mats for your educational facilities, these should be your top picks.
Branding and School Logos
School pride looks good for any educational facility. Embrace it by adding logos and branding to your custom logo mats.
Our custom logo mats are ideal for showing school spirit while also serving to protect your flooring and keep your students and staff safer. We know school colors matter, which is why we do our best to match our colors nearly perfectly with any you shade need. Plus, PMS colors are also available upon request.
Please note: At Health Mats, we protect brand identity. To that end, in order to create any custom mats with school logos for universities and higher education, we require a letter of permission on university letterhead from an authorized individual.
