The Problem: Professional Appearance and Winter Liability
Office buildings and corporate campuses face consistent foot traffic — and Chicago’s wet winters and rainy springs mean wet lobby floors from October through April. A single slip-and-fall incident in a corporate lobby costs an average of $12,000 in direct expenses, not counting lost productivity, HR involvement, or the reputational cost to property managers and employers who are expected to maintain a safe environment.
Beyond safety, tired or worn entrance mats in a professional setting undercut the image that companies invest heavily to project. Office managers and property managers don’t want to own mat inventory, manage laundering, or coordinate replacements — they want the problem solved.
The Specialty Mat Solution for Offices
Specialty Mat’s rental program eliminates the facility management burden entirely. We deliver fresh, clean mats on a weekly fixed schedule and remove soiled mats for off-site industrial cleaning — all with zero upfront cost.
With 200+ mat styles including custom logo mats, professional offices can reinforce brand identity at every entrance. Property managers with multi-tenant buildings can standardize mat quality across all common areas under a single service agreement.

Compliance for Office Buildings
- OSHA 1910.22 — Walking-working surfaces standard applies to all employer-controlled spaces. Office lobbies, corridors, and restrooms must be maintained to prevent slip-and-fall hazards. Weekly mat service provides a documented, recurring compliance action.
- BOMA Best Practices — The Building Owners and Managers Association recommends proactive floor safety programs, including managed mat programs, as part of standard property management protocols.
- ADA Compliance — All entrance mats must meet ADA requirements: low-profile edges (≤ ½” rise), firm and stable surface, and secure installation to prevent trip hazards.
- NFSI Certification — Specialty Mat’s entrance mats are tested by the National Floor Safety Institute for validated slip resistance in wet conditions.

Mat Rental for Office Buildings
1. Do you offer mat rental service for multi-tenant office buildings?
Yes. Property managers can set up a building-wide service agreement covering all common areas — lobbies, elevator banks, stairwells, and shared restrooms — across multiple floors and tenants. We route service to your building on a fixed weekly schedule, making it simple to manage for the property management team.
2. How many entrance mats does a typical office need?
A standard mid-rise office building typically needs: one 3×5 or 3×10 mat per public entrance door, mats at elevator lobbies on each floor, and mats at parking garage pedestrian entrances. We’ll do a walkthrough assessment and give you an exact count during your free program analysis.
3. Can I get different mat styles for different building entrances or tenants?
Yes. Specialty Mat’s catalog includes 200+ styles, colors, and sizes. Different entrances, floors, or tenant suites can have different mats under the same service account. Custom logo mats are available for anchor tenants or corporate headquarters locations.
4. Is there a minimum number of mats required to start a rental program?
Contact us for current minimums. Most single-location offices qualify with as few as 2–3 entrance mats. We serve everything from small professional offices to large corporate campuses.
5. How does office mat rental pricing work — per mat or flat rate?
Pricing is based on the number and type of mats in your program plus your service frequency. We provide a single all-in weekly price that covers the mats, the cleaning cycle, the delivery, and mat replacement as needed — no surprise invoices for cleaning or wear. Contact us for a custom quote based on your building’s specific needs.
