How Can Rubber Work-Mats Protect Your Factory?
There are a number of benefits to using rubber commercial flooring in your factory. Each benefit in and of itself makes it a great contender against any other choice you may be considering. One such benefit is the ease of installation—rubber work-mats are a breeze to set up, keeping you from having to shut down production in order to put down more permanent flooring options. There is also the availability of styles, with more than one option to fit any need, whether your factory is putting together those adorable little birdhouses or producing high-tech equipment parts. A rubber commercial runner is a great way to denote a clear walking path, while offering added traction and slip protection. We also can’t forget the affordability of rubber products! If you choose rubber mats made from recycled materials then the savings are passed on to you, not to mention the added durability and quality you know you’ll be getting. Recycled rubber products are made from discarded tires, which were originally designed and made to stand up against all of Mother Nature’s harsh conditions. Many rubber work-mats are economical and very friendly to the environment as well as being easy DIY projects. But these aren’t even the main reasons that we think adding rubber commercial flooring to your factory is the right move.
Let me introduce you to the three P’s of rubber industrial floor mats!
- Protection For Your Employees
Rubber industrial floor mats come in a variety of styles—each fitted for different and unique applications. The most important by far is the applications that deal with the safety of people. Factory floors should be made secure from slips, which can cause serious injuries or even death. If your employees work in an area with a lot of moisture, you may want to choose rubber surfacing with drainage holes. If your employees work in a mostly a greasy area, there are also grease resistant mats. Unfortunately, spills can happen anywhere and this can pose a serious risk to employees. A rubber commercial runner can keep busy hallways dry and slip-free thanks to rubber’s natural water-resistant qualities. Also, with the added traction of many of our rubber work-mats your employees will have surer footing, allowing them to stand more securely upon the floor while preforming their duties—which can at times be dangerous, such as handling complicated,
heavy, and big machinery. You can add attractive slip resistant flooring to your factory aisles thus making it a healthier work place.
2. Protection For Your Merchandise
Starting a business, especially one that is producing a material good, requires the purchase of material as well as equipment. These tend to be substantial and expensive investments that you will definitely want to protect. Rubber industrial floor mats aren’t just there to protect your employees—they can also protect your equipment, material, and merchandise. A thick rubber commercial runner will offer a supple and elastic surface upon which tools, materials, and merchandise can land should it be dropped. If your factory
happens to employ large and heavy machines rubber commercial flooring can protect them from their own vibration and movement. This could add up to big savings in the long run by helping to limit wear and tear, and allowing you to sell more of your product, rather than having to trash it if it breaks.
3. Protection for Your Building
And finally we have protection of your building. No amount of employees or materials is going to make a difference if you don’t have a location to put them! And the actual location of your factory represents a lot more than just production—it represents your whole brand. By taking care of your building and maintaining it presentable you can greatly influence your profit, your workers efficiency, and many other important aspects of business. Installing rubber commercial flooring will protect the original floors of your building—whether they’re concrete, tile, or anything else. Tactically placed rubber work-mats will protect specific areas of your floor, upon which heavy machinery may be located. A rubber commercial runner will offer the same protection to any hallway or assembly-line, where employees may spend a lot of time standing or walking—after all, these are the areas that are prone to seeing more dropped materials. When you use rubber industrial floor mats you’ll also be protecting against chemical spills, such as oil or paint, which will keep ugly stains off your floor.
