When it comes to commercial floor mats, one of the most pressing decisions businesses face is the choice between renting vs. buying floor mats. With over 200 mat styles, ranging from classic mats and angled mats to comfort mats and beyond, Specialty Mat is the gold standard in world-class mat supply. While purchasing might seem straightforward and potentially cheaper, there are numerous compelling reasons to consider the rental path. Here are just a few: 

Consistent Quality Assurance

Renting mats with Specialty Mat ensures continuous, top-notch quality. Over time, floor mats endure significant wear and tear, which compromises their effectiveness and aesthetics. When you rent, the burden of maintaining the quality falls on the provider. Specialty Mat ensures your rented mats are always in pristine condition, doing the job they are supposed to do while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your space.

Variety and Versatility

With a versatile catalog at your disposal, renting provides the ability to switch between different types depending on the season, specific needs, or design shifts. Want to try the comfort mats in the winter and then switch to brush and scraper mats for the rainy season? No problem. Renting allows you to adapt to varying circumstances without the cost-draining commitment of purchasing different mat types.

Professional Cleaning and Maintenance

One of the strongest arguments for renting is the professional cleaning and maintenance services included. Cleaning mats professionally enhances their lifespan and ensures they perform optimally. Imagine not having to worry about the dirt, dust, and grime collected on the mats. Our team takes care of that, freeing you to focus on other critical aspects of your business.

Cost-Effectiveness and Sustainability

The costs associated with purchasing, maintaining, cleaning, and eventually replacing mats add up quickly. By renting, you sidestep these expenses with a manageable, predictable monthly fee. By reusing mats across different clients after professional cleaning and restoration, the rental model encourages sustainability, reducing waste associated with disposed worn-out mats.

Safety and Compliance

Between renting vs. buying, safety is always paramount. All our mats, whether classic or Airflex, comply with the industry’s safety standards. When you rent with us, rest assured you’re providing a safe environment for your employees and customers. Over time, worn-out purchased mats could pose a safety risk. Renting eliminates this risk as we routinely replace any mats showing signs of excessive wear and tear.

Try Before You Commit

Renting floor mats provides an excellent opportunity to “try before you buy.” You can assess different mat types over a rental period to determine which best suits your needs. This trial run eliminates the risk of a significant investment in mats that might not best fit your business.
