Dirt, debris and moisture are usually brought into buildings via footwear and wheeled equipment – causing issues with employee safety and wellbeing, workplace hygiene and maintenance of equipment and machinery. This is why floorcare services are integral to maintaining good safety and hygiene in any type of environment.
Choosing a suitable floorcare solution for your premises will dramatically reduce the amount of dirt and moisture brought into your building. Instantly creating a tidier interior environment that is easier to maintain.
Why does my business need industrial matting?
Commercial matting plays a key role in the health and safety of manufacturing environments – as mats can be used to reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls of employees and visitors, particularly in wet or snowy weather.
Heavy duty commercial mats are ideal for collecting any type of dirt and moisture. Including rainwater, grit, snow, and mud.
Industrial matting is also particularly useful in commercial environments where contamination from dirt and germs is a concern, such as in food manufacturing.

Additional key benefits of professional floor care services for manufacturing facilities
Whilst workplace safety is undoubtedly a top priority, there are additional important benefits to using industrial matting, such as keeping equipment and machinery in good working order, and adopting sustainable practices:
1. Reducing maintenance and downtime with industrial matting
In manufacturing facilities, downtime and high maintenance costs can significantly impact productivity and profitability. Installing industrial matting, such as those offered by phs, provides a cost-effective and efficient solution to these challenges.
• Minimised equipment wear and tear: industrial matting helps trap dirt, debris, and moisture at the entrance and key areas within the facility. This prevents contaminants from being tracked onto machinery and equipment, which can cause premature wear or malfunctions. Cleaner floors mean fewer opportunities for fine dust or particles to interfere with sensitive manufacturing processes.
• Lower cleaning costs: by trapping dirt and moisture effectively, industrial mats reduce the amount of time and resources required to clean the facility. This can free up cleaning teams to focus on more critical tasks, optimising the overall maintenance schedule.
• Improved safety and compliance: manufacturing environments are often bustling with foot traffic, forklifts, and heavy machinery. Industrial mats reduce the risk of slips and trips caused by wet or dirty floors, enhancing employee safety and helping businesses comply with health and safety regulations.
• Increased efficiency: mats in high-traffic areas ensure that employees can move efficiently across the facility without delays caused by slippery or cluttered floors. This smoother workflow contributes to reduced downtime and higher productivity.
2. Supporting environmental standards with industrial matting
Environmental sustainability is becoming a key focus for many manufacturing businesses, and industrial matting plays a role in supporting these goals. phs offers mats made from ECONYL and rPET, a regenerated material crafted from recycled nylon. Here’s how this benefits the environment and aligns with sustainability goals:
• Reduced waste: by using recyclable and eco-friendly materials, phs industrial mats help minimise waste. At the end of their lifecycle, these mats can often be reprocessed into new materials, contributing to a circular economy.
• Laundered, not discarded: unlike disposable floor protection solutions, industrial mats supplied by phs are laundered regularly to maintain their effectiveness and appearance. This reduces the environmental impact associated with frequently replacing mats.
• Improved energy efficiency: cleaner floors mean hvac systems and other equipment can operate more efficiently, as they are not clogged or obstructed by dust and dirt. This can contribute to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills.
• Sustainability credentials: adopting environmentally friendly matting solutions can improve a business’s sustainability credentials, which is increasingly important for building client trust and meeting regulatory standards.
Professional floor care services provided by phs can be tailored to suit the specific needs of manufacturing facilities, ensuring that the mats are regularly maintained, cleaned, and functioning optimally. These services not only help protect your facility but also support your business’s commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency.
By integrating high-quality industrial matting into your floor care strategy, manufacturing businesses can enjoy improved safety, reduced costs, and a cleaner, more efficient workspace, all while contributing to environmental responsibility.
