Our editors have developed the following infographic to help!<\/p>\n<p>Follow along the Mat Selection Guide to learn more about the important role that commercial matting plays in facility health and safety. Then, use the flow chart to get a better idea of what category of product will work best for your business. This infographic suggests matting products based on three important variables:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Placement.<\/strong> Will the mat be placed inside, or outside? This is a crucial question to ask, as it will help determine which matting material to choose. Note: Most facilities invest in both outdoor and indoor matting. For example, outdoor &#8220;scraper&#8221; mats are often paired with indoor &#8220;carpet&#8221; mats to ensure maximum protection against incoming dirt, moisture, and debris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Climate.<\/strong> What is the climate like throughout the year? Tropical, temperate, and severe environments each call for a unique type of mat. Note: Many businesses purchase different mats to use during different times of year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visitor Flow.<\/strong> Finally, find a suitable indoor mat according to the level of visitor flow your facility experiences. For small businesses, a simple carpet mat is sufficient in handling light foot traffic. For heavily trafficked malls and transportation hubs, on the other hand, a recessed grill system is safer and more effective.<\/p>\n<h2>Mat Selection Guide [Free Infographic]<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Mat-Selection-Guide-Free-Infographic.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1133\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Mat-Selection-Guide-Free-Infographic.png\" alt=\"Mat Selection Guide Free Infographic\" width=\"800\" height=\"2465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Mat-Selection-Guide-Free-Infographic.png 800w, https:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Mat-Selection-Guide-Free-Infographic-97x300.png 97w, https:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Mat-Selection-Guide-Free-Infographic-332x1024.png 332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Share This Infographic<\/h3>\n<p>Share this inforgraphic by copying the embed code at the following URL: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Mat-Selection-Guide-Embed-Code1.txt\">Mat Selection Guide Embed Code<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/blog\/mat-selection-guide-free-infographic\/\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/thumbnail-for-excerpts\/tfe_no_thumb.png\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Having trouble deciding which commercial floor mat to buy for your facility?
