To Own or Rent? Matting decisions made easy

Let’s dive into the differences between owning and renting entrance mats for your business.

First impressions matter, and the entrance to your business plays a significant role in shaping how customers and clients perceive your brand. One of the simplest yet most impactful ways to enhance your entryway is by investing in high-quality entrance mats. While some businesses opt for rental mats as a convenient solution, custom entrance mats offer far greater benefits in terms of branding, cost-effectiveness, and overall functionality. Here’s why custom mats are a superior choice over rental mats.

1. Cost Savings Over Time

Rental mats may seem like an affordable and hassle-free option initially, but the recurring rental fees add up over time. Businesses typically pay for weekly or monthly service fees that can quickly surpass the one-time cost of purchasing custom mats. Instead of continuously paying for mats you don’t own, investing in custom mats allows you to have a long-term solution that saves money in the long run.

2. Custom Branding and Aesthetic Appeal

Above all, a major advantage of custom entrance mats is their ability to reflect your brand identity. With rental mats, you’re often limited to generic colors and designs that do little to enhance your business’s image. Custom mats, on the other hand, can be tailored with your company’s logo, slogan, or colors, creating a professional and cohesive look. This reinforces brand recognition and leaves a lasting impression on visitors.

3. Superior Quality and Durability

Rental mats are typically designed for general use and may not offer the best durability or performance. They are often thin, lightweight, and prone to shifting, which can create safety hazards. Custom mats, however, can be made from higher-quality materials suited to your specific needs. Investing in a well-made mat ensures better performance and a longer lifespan.

4. Better Fit and Functionality

Rental mats come in standard sizes that may not fit your entrance perfectly. This can leave gaps where dirt and moisture accumulate, reducing their effectiveness. Custom mats are made to measure, ensuring a perfect fit for your entryway. Whether you need an extra-large mat for a wide doorway or a uniquely shaped mat to accommodate your layout, custom options provide the ideal solution.

5. Hygiene and Cleanliness

While rental mats are cleaned periodically by the rental service, they may not always be as fresh or well-maintained as expected. Over time, rental mats can become worn, lose their absorbency, and harbor dirt and bacteria. When you own your mats, you have full control over their cleaning schedule, ensuring they remain in top condition. Regularly maintained custom mats help keep your business clean and presentable at all times.

6. Environmental Benefits

Custom mats are a more sustainable option compared to rental mats. Rental mats are frequently transported to and from cleaning facilities, contributing to fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Owning and maintaining your mats in-house minimizes this environmental impact. Additionally, we offer eco-friendly materials like our Grizzly FX product that uses ECONYL yarn, a regenerated nylon made form waste material like used fishing nets, making it a greener choice for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Conclusion

While rental mats may seem convenient, they come with limitations that can impact your brand image, budget, and overall effectiveness. Custom entrance mats provide a better fit, improved durability, and enhanced branding opportunities while saving you money in the long term. Investing in high-quality, customized mats ensures a professional, clean, and welcoming entrance that makes a great first impression on everyone who walks through your door.
