Selecting appropriate mats for your school facility is crucial to keeping its floors safe and clean, whether that means entrance mats, classroom mats or staff room mats – there are countless choices out there!

School logo mats can help protect floors by trapping water, snow and dirt from students and staff shoes – keeping it off of them and making cleaning simpler.
Safety

Floor mats in schools serve a primary function: protecting students, teachers and employees. Proper floor mats can trap water, snow, dirt and debris outside before it enters the building – thus helping prevent slips, trips or falls within.

Rubberized or cleated backing mats can help hold carpet in place and stop it from moving around the room, and should also be constructed of durable material that can withstand high traffic volumes.

Custom logo mats can make the school environment more inviting by featuring its colors and logo, encouraging students, staff and visitors alike to take pride in the school environment. Furthermore, they can display rules, quotes or words to inspire positive behavior or enhance learning – as well as double up as an entrance mat and room mat in one, making them an excellent option for every entryway from administrative offices to locker rooms and gyms – even offering shapes, sizes and materials tailored specifically for your school environment.
Cleanliness

Floor mats help facilities reduce the amount of dirt and contaminants brought inside by guests, protecting carpets, hard floors and other materials in the process. Furthermore, keeping schools clean contribute to creating an inviting atmosphere by offering protection from outside debris while creating an aesthetic experience for visitors.

To maintain clean mats, regularly shake or hose them off to remove loose dirt and food debris that has collected. In addition, using Adam’s Rubber Mat & Liner Cleaner or Turtle Wax cleaner with an attached brush could also be beneficial in spraying it onto each mat and then scrubbing before rinsing off and drying properly.

Place scraper mats outside entranceways to assist guests in clearing away snow, salt, and other forms of grime from their shoes before entering your facility. These mats typically feature raised surfaces with “fingers” to scrape away extra dirt, moisture, and grit from shoes before entering – providing less tracking! They come equipped with smooth backings suitable for hard floors while carpeted areas might need special features that offer increased grip strength such as cleated gripping strength when placed atop carpeted floors.
Durability

School mats must withstand heavy foot traffic, extreme weather conditions and rigorous cleaning – which means they need a durable construction made of rubber or vinyl, with fibers designed to stain resist and absorb spills efficiently. The best mats on the market have this durability feature built right in.

Entrance mats placed at entrances and lobbies help limit the spread of water, dirt and debris across facilities. Entrance mats feature scraper surfaces to capture snow, dirt, rainwater, gravel and any other contaminants before they reach interior floors.

Logo floor mats can be personalized with school colors, symbols and mascots to foster school pride among staff and students alike. Not only are logo mats an eye-catching addition to entranceways and foyers of schools; gyms and auditoriums can benefit greatly from having logo floor mats in their learning environments as well.
Aesthetics

Schools and classrooms demand heavy foot traffic. Kids tend to be smaller and lighter than adults in the workplace, yet can bring in dirt, water, and other contaminants which damage floors. Placing mats at entranceways helps limit how much debris enters facilities while keeping hallways tidy.

Logo mats provide schools with an ideal way to promote school spirit, reminding everyone who enters of their educational institution’s pride. Mats can be placed both outside and inside, coming in an assortment of sizes and materials.

Managers seeking durable mats suitable for both hard surfaces and low-pile carpet should look for mats equipped with cleats or nubs to secure it to the floor and prevent it from moving around, potentially damaging carpet or slipping under chairs. This way, managers can prevent it from moving back and forth across the surface and from damaging or slipping under chairs.
