Improve School Safety and Cleanliness with These 5 Mats<\/h2>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Ultra-absorbent Entrance Mats for Schools<\/h3>\n

One thing most school buildings have in common is a multitude of different entryways.\u00a0 Children pass through a school\u2019s many entrances and exits several times each day, often hurriedly and without much attention to safety.\u00a0 Ensuring that children have a clean and safe environment is a high priority task, and this is best accomplished through proactively keeping all major points of entry dry and clear of dangerous debris.<\/p>\n

The Waterhog Classic<\/a> entrance mat helps schools maintain a high degree of safety in general entrance\/exit areas with a special construction that traps more moisture and debris than most ordinary floor mats.\u00a0 Waterhog mats are made of polypropylene, a highly resilient material that is both \u201ccrush proof\u201d and weatherproof.\u00a0 The Classic features patented WaterDam Technology to retain up to a gallon of liquid as well, making these mats an ideal choice for schools located in climates that experience heavy rainfall, snowfall, or otherwise unpredictable weather patterns.<\/p>\n

2. Weatherproof Safety Mats for Outdoor School Areas<\/h3>\n

Sidewalks, pathways, and other outdoor entry areas are perhaps the second most heavily trafficked places for most school buildings.\u00a0 Like a school\u2019s primary points of entry, these outdoor areas require unique matting and safety products that keep them clean, visible, and safe for pedestrians.<\/p>\n

Rubber Scraper Mats<\/a> are ideal for such outdoor applications.\u00a0 These indoor\/outdoor entrance mats are made from 100% commercial-grade Nitrile rubber that is weatherproof and skid-resistant.\u00a0 Rubber Scraper Mats are known best for aggressively cleaning the under soles of shoes with their deep-textured surface, making them an ideal mat to use outside doorways and along walkways that lead to playgrounds, athletic fields, and other \u201cEarthy\u201d areas.\u00a0 These mats provide the perfect place to for children to wipe and \u201csqueegee\u201d accumulated dirt\/moisture from their shoes, preventing dangerous debris accumulation on the inside of the school.<\/p>\n

3. Logo Mats with School Spirit<\/h3>\n

Floor spaces in administrative offices, reception areas, and school lobbies are heavily trafficked, however safety goals can typically be met with simple carpet mats.\u00a0 A variety of new, state-of-the-art printing technologies make it easy to create vibrant logo mats<\/a> for these areas.\u00a0 Schools may now add their logo, crest, or mascot to a variety of matting products simply by uploading their design to Eaglemat.com.\u00a0 All designs receive complementary image proofing to ensure accuracy prior to order fulfillment.<\/p>\n

4. Antimicrobial Cafeteria Kitchen Mats<\/h3>\n

Schools must pay particular attention to the safety and hygiene needs of cafeterias.\u00a0 Kitchen corridors, food preparation areas, and serving counters are easily soiled during use.\u00a0 Moreover, these areas become increasingly dangerous as liquid and food spills accumulate over time.<\/p>\n

Kitchen mats<\/a> are vital tools in managing a busy school\u2019s cafeteria areas.\u00a0 These mats are low profile, perforated for water drainage, and manufactured with 100% Nitrile rubber to ensure slip-resistance.\u00a0 Many kitchen mats also feature special antimicrobial technology to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, helping schools to achieve both safety and hygiene goals through the easy installation of just one product.<\/p>\n

5. Gymnasium Sticky Mats<\/h3>\n

Few areas of a school experience more \u201cwear and tear\u201d than the floor of the gymnasium.\u00a0 In today\u2019s schools, the gymnasium has become a multi-purpose room for team practices, Phys. Ed. classes, pep rallies, assemblies, and much more.\u00a0 Repairing gym floors can be costly, and the best way to prevent damage is by using a matting solution that effectively cleans shoes before they hit the court.<\/p>\n

Waterhog Clean Room Stick Mats<\/a> are growing in popularity among school districts for their ability to prevent dirt, debris, and other contaminants from entering gymnasiums.\u00a0 This \u201cclean room mat\u201d is actually two mats in one, consisting of a waffle patterned polypropylene runner and rectangular sticky mat.\u00a0 Each half of the mat serves a unique function:\u00a0 The waffle patterned runner aggressively scrapes dirt and other debris from the under soles of shoes, much like the Waterhog Classic mat above (see #1).\u00a0 The \u201csticky mat\u201d end is the last thing that shoes touch prior to entering the gym, and it effectively captures leftover dust, dirt, and debris that would otherwise scuff and damage hardwood floors.<\/p>\n
