Floor Mat season is back!

Why is a floor mat essential for your business?

As the wet weather returns we would like to use this as a reminder for our retailers to get a mat service in your store. Store owners should prioritise this to ensure the safety and well-being of their customers and employees. Not only this, but a mat also helps maintain store cleanliness and enhances the appearance by giving a more professional look.

This article will help you realise the importance of each of the factors listed and encourage you to get started on your mat service today. Should you not choose to have mats in your store, then you are choosing to not comply and are at risk of law suits for up to £40,000 similar to this case of a lady slipping on a wet floor in Scotland here.

Please take a moment to see the primary benefits below that a simple mat service can bring to your store:

Safety

By having a mat in your store it provides an extra layer of safety against slip and fall accidents. As a shop owner, you have a duty of care for your customers and employees. Having a mat reduces moisture and debris on your floors, thus reducing the chance of slipping.

Cleanliness

It is no secret that customers enjoy browsing in a clean store rather than a dirty store. A second advantage to putting a mat in your store is that it traps dust, dirt and moisture from customers shoes.

Protection

If you wish to protect your business flooring from getting damaged, especially in high traffic areas, then a mat is a fantastic way of doing this. Also, they act as a barrier against wear and tear in specific spots, which saves you spending money on floor repairs further down the line.
