\"Why
Pictured above: Waterhog ECO Elite Mat<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waterhog mats<\/strong><\/a> are very popular. They are the industry standard for wet-weather conditions, and they can absorb 1.5 gallons of water per square yard of mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water\non a floor is a major safety hazard and big contributor to slip, trip, and fall\nincidents that cost businesses about $1 billion per year. So, for commercial\nspaces where people are frequently tracking in water on their shoes, Waterhog\nmats are a smart investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nwhat makes Waterhog mats so popular?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variety<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\nfirst reason is variety. There are so many Waterhog mats to choose from. There\nare several types of entrance mats for normal applications, and several\navailable for recessed<\/a> applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\nis a Waterhog clean-room, sticky mat, too. All of the Waterhog mats come in\ntons of colors and resist fading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aside\nfrom all the water that these mats absorb, they are designed to be particularly\nsafe with undersides designed to grip the floor. A very important quality of a\ngood quality mat is that it stays in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterhog\nmats also have a patented nubby surface that effectively scrapes the bottoms of\nshoes to remove dirt and debris (along with the water, snow, and ice.) Some\nWaterhog mats, like the Waterhog\nMasterpiece<\/a>\nare certified as \u201chigh traction\u201d by the Floor Safety Institute. Increasing\ntraction is the first rule of improving floor safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eco-friendliness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waterhog\nmats are very eco-friendly, and several types like the ECO Elite<\/a> are certified\n\u201cgreen\u201d and will get you LEED points. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and\nEnvironmental Design, and it\u2019s a well-recognized worldwide program for\ndemonstrating the your building or space was carefully designed with the\nenvironment and impact on the environment in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waterhog\nmats do what they\u2019re supposed to do. They are extremely durable, easy to clean,\nand they\u2019re just a solid, reliable, water-absorbing mat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With\nso many types to choose from, there\u2019s a Waterhog mat for everyone. Adding some\nWaterhog mats to your commercial space is an inexpensive investment for\nobvious, long-term benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterhog\nmats keep all that mud, grit, and water at the door and inside the mat instead\nof all over your floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
