Industrial and commercial mat design are not a new concept, but it has become more popular over the years. The benefits of using a custom-made mat instead of the commercially-available alternatives are many. First, the amount of time and money spent on finding the right one is less, as there are fewer options in terms of quality, patterns and design. This can save substantial amounts of time for employees who need to use the equipment or machines frequently.
There are many different types of flooring that can be used in commercial and industrial settings, including linoleum, vinyl flooring, carpeting, rubber and concrete. Most people assume that any solid surface has limitations in terms of patterns, colors, design and so on. However, the truth is that almost any surface can be turned into a functional floor by adding a mat. Whether it is used for a parking lot, an elevator or other uses, commercial flooring can make your work easier, safer and more efficient.
For example, with most elevator flooring products, there are certain patterns that cannot be used. If you want to use circular designs or squares, there are no “proper” patterns for these surfaces – they are not manufactured to conform to any specifications. By adding a circular or square pattern to your floors, you get better functionality, safety and comfort. When the flooring is of a particular material (such as a carpet) and you cannot create that pattern, your floors can become very uncomfortable.
Some elevator systems require grinding behind the vehicle. When this grinding occurs, the matting can help prevent damage to the flooring, especially in areas where there is a lot of vibration. In addition, the matting can reduce the noise created by the grinding, allowing you to work without distraction. For example, if you are putting together a second floor, the grinding noise could cause distractions at all times, causing the whole process to move at a slower pace.
Flooring material selection is another important factor. Tile, carpet, linoleum, laminates and mats are often used for flooring on elevators. Tile is probably the most traditional product that people associate with commercial elevators. Carpet and linoleum are newer products that are becoming more common in many areas, but carpet is still the most preferred because of the low maintenance required. Additionally, carpet is a very durable product that has very little wear-and-tear.
When shopping for elevator flooring, think about the different ways that grinding stones can be applied. If you want something that has a more industrial appeal, you might consider installing ceramic stones on your floors. Ceramic elevators are popular for industrial and commercial settings, because they require little maintenance and they offer a beautiful look. Stone is also extremely durable, so you can count on it to withstand years of abuse.
Ceramic mill tiles are one option for your elevator floor. These tiles are made with a coarse texture and rough finish, making them ideal for places where friction is not an issue (such as inside the elevator or between sections). Cement mill is a flooring product that resemble marble, but the product has a smoother, less rough finish. This allows for greater surface area and better gripping, which can reduce slipping. Cement also has the benefit of being slip-resistant (it is stronger than most other types of stones).
Other great options are belt grinders and bucket elevators. Belt grinders feature a continuous belt that rolls across the surface of the floor. Bucket elevators are a type of mill that features a cylindrical container that has grinding stones on the bottom of each end. The stones are located about halfway up the length of the cylinder, with the grinding wheel located at the top. These products are commonly used in industrial settings, since they are strong and durable, and they require little maintenance. Choosing the right commercial tile product will help you create the perfect commercial tile floor for your commercial business.
