Go Green
Green Entrance Floor Mat System
 

The US Green Building Council developed a rating system for new and existing buildings to encourage building owners and property management firms to earn credit for meeting certain housekeeping criteria. Strategies include sustainable entrance floor mats that prevent particles from entering the building. Recommendations include a minimum of 6-10 feet of any combination of recessed matting, logo floor mats, or quality entrance floor mats, depending on what LEED rating system you are using. The key of any successful entrance floor mat system is the prevention of contaminants from entering a building. In fact, according to a study conducted by ISSA, up to 24 pounds of dirt can be tracked in through a 20-day work period. Installing an effective entrance floor mat system can stop 90 percent of dirt from entering the building. It is a given that 85 percent of all this soil enters a building on the feet of people coming into the building.  Learn more about LEED ratings on entrance mats.

First Steps in Creating an Entrance Floor Mat System

When tailoring a Green Entrance Floor Mat System, think feet! Actually think walking, not wiping. Most people do not wipe their feet, so custom floor matting needs to be extra long to enable enough walk surface to remove maximum soil. Since longer is better consider adding logo floor mats to enhance the lobby decor while preventing moisture and capturing particles from invading the building.
