Business Wire
Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) today introduced its
comprehensive hospitality mat system to ensure hotel floors are
safe, protected and visibly clean. Designed specifically for the
hospitality industry, Cintas’ hotel matting system provides rental,
direct purchase and custom mat options appropriate for front and
back-of–the-house operations. Hotels can customize their system to
include one or all of the programs for convenient, cost-effective
protection. From mats designed for revolving doors and unique
entryways to mats suited for poolside areas, Cintas has the
appropriate system to improve the image of any property.
“Hotels experience extensive traffic yet must continuously
promote a positive brand image,” said Mike Thompson, Senior Vice
President, Cintas Facility Services. “From 30 to 3,000-room
properties, our versatile hospitality mat system provides a
complete service offering to help hotels elevate image, improve
productivity, reduce housekeeping costs and keep guests safe.”
Within the new hospitality mat system, hoteliers have the
opportunity to select from the following options:
Rental Program. Cintas’ rental mat service captures
contaminants and moisture before customers track it through a
hotel, keeping floors dry and clean. The program includes prompt
and reliable pick-up, cleaning and delivery on a routine basis.
Cintas’ service reduces upfront inventory costs and ensures mats
won’t become saturated with contaminants. The mats are designed to
protect all essential areas including entrance zones, high risk
zones, high traffic zones and productivity zones. Rental mats
include:
- Standard Carpet Mats prevent soil and
moisture from being tracked throughout a hotel. They are equipped
with gripper backs, beveled edges and a rubber base to keep mats in
place and reduce slips and falls. They are ideal for entrance, high
risk, high traffic and productivity zones.
- Logo/Message Mats are standard carpet
mats with personalized logo and message options. This enables
businesses to promote their brand with vivid lasting colors while
reassuring guests that they are in the right place.
- Dura-Lite Mats are light, durable and
equipped with a non-slip, no-trip surface to promote a safe work
environment. Ideal for high risk and productivity zones, they
resist oil and grease. Their anti-fatigue properties reduce
employee leg stress while their antimicrobial properties prevent
bacterial growth.
- Scraper Mats are ideal for entrance and
high risk zones, trapping moisture and dirt before it enters the
facility. Constructed of tacky rubber to collect contaminants,
scraper mats can hold up to a gallon of water. Their special
backing enables water to aerate to keep the mat in place while
their anti-static properties protect electrical equipment from
static shock.
Direct Purchase Program. This program is ideal for larger
mats, such as lobby or entrance mats. Cintas offers its entire mat
line via direct sale and can brand any mat with a customized logo
or message to further enhance image. Direct purchase mats
include:
- UltraGuard Mats are ideal for lobbies,
hallways, entries or other areas with multi-directional guest and
employee traffic. Its polypropylene fibers are durable, stain
resistant and permanently anti-static.
- WaterGuard Mats trap moisture and dirt
at the door before it enters a hotel. They are ideal for lobbies,
inside and outside of entrances and around ice machines and vending
areas. Each mat is created with a fade-resistant polypropylene
surface and rubber-reinforced ridges. They are available in
standard, diamond pattern or fan shapes.
- Indoor Mats include Cintas’ Dual Rib,
Chevron and Hobnail styles, which are lightweight and ideal for
employee offices, maintenance areas and break rooms. Cintas also
offers Olefin Walk-Off Indoor mats that protect low-pile carpet and
hard surfaces from wear and tear.
- Kitchen Mats include Cintas’ Triple
Flex mat line, designed with a non-slip surface to resist oil,
water and grease. They are available with drainage holes to allow
liquid and dirt to pass. Cintas’ Free Flow Comfort mats have
draining capabilities yet provide comfort for prolonged standing.
Its Safety Chef mats have raised ribs to provide traction for wet
and greasy surfaces.
- Anti-Fatigue Mats include Cintas’ Soft
Step and Air Step mats, designed with 3/8” vinyl foam construction
to reduce fatigue and discomfort.They are ideal for valet, bell
stand, front desk and concierge areas. Its Marble Top mats offer
the same anti-fatigue properties and are 90 percent more puncture
resistant than comparable products.
Custom Mat Program. Cintas can customize and install any
mat style to fit any size or shape. A Cintas representative will
conduct an assessment to recommend the best size and installation
method. Hoteliers often need custom mats for inside and outside
lobby entrances, revolving doors, recessed and obstructed areas.
Popular styles include revolving door cut outs, angle cuts and
large lobby mats. Cintas can design mats to lay loose with edging
or glue them down for permanent installation.
“All of Cintas’ hospitality mats are certified ‘High Traction’
by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) to help reduce slips,
trips and falls and meet the unique matting challenges within every
area of a hotel,” said Todd McKeown, Vice President of Hospitality,
Cintas. “Partnering with Cintas for a customized program helps
hoteliers protect guests and promote a clean image with safe,
state-of-the-art, stylish mats.”
Cintas Facility Services offers a wide range of solutions that
enable hoteliers to build their image and increase profitability
and productivity. These solutions improve the comfort and
well-being of guests and employees. Whether you need restocking
services, floor mat services, chemicals, cleaning tools or regular
