\"Durable<\/a>Rubber mats<\/a> are in high demand for most retail outlets, and in no scenario is that more true than fuel dispensaries like gas stations.\u00a0 Gas stations are heavily trafficked each and every day, and most locations adopt a 24\/7 operating policy simply to fuel the seemingly never-ending demand for gasoline and other convenience items.\u00a0\u00a0 In such a location, consumer safety is a top priority for several reasons.\u00a0 Most obvious is the flammable and toxic nature of their primary commodity:\u00a0 gasoline.\u00a0 A second reason for heightened safety concern, however, has to deal with customers.\u00a0 The 24\/7 nature of customer inflow and outflow makes gas stations and convenience stores prime targets for slip and fall accidents, liability lawsuits, and inordinate financial losses.\u00a0 Additional factors like location, physical building structure, and weather can make gas stations even riskier.<\/p>\n

In the 3 decades that we\u2019ve been in business, we\u2019ve had the pleasure of developing numerous relationships with gas station owners and operators.\u00a0 Based on client feedback, we recommend gas stations use rubber safety matting in the following 3 main areas:<\/p>\n

Gas Station Entrance Areas<\/h2>\n

Rubber door mats<\/a> are ideal for the areas just outside entryways.\u00a0 These mats are most often made with 100% commercial-grade Nitrile rubber, one of the toughest and most resilient rubber compounds available.\u00a0 This enables them to firmly grip the ground, holding position with minimal slippage.\u00a0 These mats are available with a variety of surface textures that aggressively clean and trap dirt, moisture, and other debris.\u00a0 Best of all, rubber door mats are weatherproof and have a notably long lasting lifespan.\u00a0 For environmentally conscious gas stations, rubber door mats are also available in \u201cEco\u201d models that are made with sustainable materials that have a minimal impact on the environment.<\/p>\n

Garages and Vehicle Service Areas<\/h2>\n

Garages and vehicle service areas have special needs that require special rubber matting products.\u00a0 The prevalence of liquids, debris, and other corrosive agents makes it ineffective to use \u201cnormal\u201d floor mats in these areas, as they are quickly and irreparably damaged.\u00a0 Instead, gas station owners and operators may use the following types of products to protect floor spaces and visitors alike:<\/p>\n

Garage Mats<\/a>:\u00a0 Our collection of garage matting features high quality \u201croll outs\u201d from Better Life Technologies (BLT) that effectively seal and protect floor spaces from damaging liquid spills like gasoline, oil, and other corrosive agents.\u00a0 They are also very simple to install, and we invite readers to visit the following article on Garage Floor Tile and Mat Installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rubber Comfort Mats<\/a>:\u00a0 These \u201canti-fatigue mats\u201d are perfect for a number of areas, including main garage floor spaces and along machinery.\u00a0 There are a variety of products from which to choose, with most mats featuring special perforations for drainage, beveled safety edges, and special anti-corrosion treatments.<\/p>\n

Customer Service Counters and Check-out Areas<\/h2>\n

For indoor service areas, we recommend anti-fatigue mats<\/a> for the floor spaces on which employees stand most.\u00a0 These mats flex underfoot, providing a \u201cbouncy\u201d and comfortable surface for employees who spend most of their time working on their feet.\u00a0 Moreover, this flexing action stimulates natural muscle contractions in the feet and legs.\u00a0 As a result, blood flow is increased while muscle tension is decreased, making for a happier and more productive employee!<\/p>\n

Rental and Laundering Services for Gas Stations<\/h3>\n

Our rental and laundering<\/a> services are a favorite among local clients who desire a \u201chassle free\u201d solution to keeping their stations a clean and safe place.\u00a0 Our gas station and industrial matting products are not limited to local business owners, however.\u00a0 All readers are invited to shop our online store, and we are pleased to offer free shipping<\/strong> to any location within the continental United States!<\/p>\n
