You may think renting mats is cheaper and more convenient
than owning High Performance mats. Think again.
The ‘one size fits all’ mentality.
The ‘one size fits all’ mentality.
Most rental programs offer only 1 type of mat in a few
different sizes. This often requires more mats to be used which can cause
safety issues and incur more rental charges. When purchasing mats, you can
choose the correct mat for the application (scrapers, anti-fatigue, anti-slip,
etc). You also get to choose the exact size and color to enhance your building’s
décor.
Keeping mats clean
and looking their best. Caring for
your mats is easier than you think, especially if you have a cleaning company
like AMS (sorry, had to plug). Most mats only need regular vacuuming and maybe
the occasional spot cleaning. I guess you could pay a rental company to do that
and just hope you don’t get mats that were used here:
Stop dirt and moisture in their tracks. Up to 70% of dust and dirt in an office building is tracked in on people's shoes. In 5 days, just 1 square yard of carpet can accumulate 1 POUND of dirt- even more in bad weather! The nylon fibers of a rental mat can crush and allow dirt and water to be tracked into your building. High Performance matting has a permanent bi-level face to help eliminate crushing. They also have a water dam border to contain the moisture.
Ending never-ending charges. Mats rented long term are very expensive. A good, High Performance mat will last you 5-10 years with little attention. At an average of $.20 per square foot per week, a single 3x5 mat will cost you $780 over a 5-year period. Purchasing a 3x5 High Performance mat costs you around $100…and could very well last longer than 5 years!
When you purchase your matting, you can color coordinate to
compliment your building. You can also be sure to have the correct sizes and
styles to best suit your traffic patterns. You’ll have improved safety and
better performance… and no recurring rental costs! Call AMS for High Performance mats today!
