Floor Mat Rental
Slippery entryways and worn floor mats are a common source of slip-and-fall claims in Pennsylvania workplaces, and one of the easiest to eliminate. Balfurd’s floor mat rental program keeps clean, properly rated matting at every entrance, workstation, and wet area on a fixed weekly schedule, so you are never managing a mat that is soaked through, curling at the edges, or past its useful life. We serve restaurants, healthcare facilities, manufacturing floors, and offices across Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia.
Floor Matting
How Floor Matting Rental Works
You’ll have what you need, when you need it. No more purchasing or laundering headaches. With Balfurd’s rental program, we purchase, stock, clean, mend, and replace your mats automatically. Service is scheduled for the same days each week and a professional route person monitors your needs. Renting from Balfurd is a convenient, cost-effective way to outsource a time-consuming task so you can focus on your guests.
Why Rent Instead of Buy
Buying floor mats outright means you also own the laundering, drying, and replacement problem. A wet mat left too long between cleanings traps moisture, bacteria, and odor, and a mat that has lost its rubber backing or curled at the edges becomes a trip hazard instead of a safety feature. With Balfurd’s rental program, every mat is picked up, laundered, and swapped for a clean one on the same route day, every week. Worn or damaged mats are replaced automatically at no extra charge; you never submit a repair ticket.
Slip-and-Fall Compliance for PA Businesses
Wet floors and inadequate matting are among the most common sources of slip-and-fall liability claims. OSHA’s General Duty Clause requires employers to keep walking surfaces free of recognized hazards, and insurance carriers increasingly ask for documentation of a maintained entrance-matting program during walkthroughs. A scheduled Balfurd rental program gives you that documentation automatically, since matting is inspected and refreshed on a fixed weekly cadence rather than whenever someone remembers to hose it down.
Choosing the Right Mat
- Entrances: scraper and carpeted mats pull moisture and debris off shoes before they reach your floors.
- Kitchens and wet stations: anti-fatigue and grease-resistant mats reduce standing fatigue and improve traction near fryers and sinks.
- Branded entryways: customized logo matting reinforces your storefront while doing the same slip-resistant job.
- Outdoor approaches: scraper matting handles rain, snow, and mud before customers step inside.
