The large entrances of hotels, especially
with the expansive walkways and porches
provide an excellent area for stopping dust
and dirt entering the buildings. The near
monopoly of coil type products (Fall Thru)
for this purpose in Asian hotels is now
being repeated in America and certain
European countries especially Holland and
Italy.
The trend will almost certainly continue to
grow in other countries due to the vast
reduction in cleaning costs when using these
products, and also the improvement to the
life and appearance of existing flooring.
Front Entrance Areas
To take advantage of the cleaning
properties of the matting solutions, all
private exterior walkways should be covered
by
Fall Thru LU 12mm. Recessed porch areas
are best served by using
Fall Thru Extra Duty 15mm which provides
a deeper, firmer clean to hide any remaining
dust particles from view, improving the
image of the hotel.
 |
Entrance wells should be fitted with
Fall Thru Extra Duty Plus 18mm which
should be flush with the walls of the well
Inside the doors and around the well, in
what is known as 'the cleaning zone', we
recommend installing
Defender to a distance of at least 180cm
(6') from the edge of the entrance well to
complete the 'complete dust control entrance
system'.
Rear Entrance Areas
We recommend marble professional for all
rear entrance areas.
Marble professional are good inexpensive
mats, which allow them to be changed at
regular intervals For the exterior of
buildings, you can either use any Fall Thru
left over from the front, or you can also
use
Trap mats.
Hotel Foyer
If the centre of the foyer requires a ramped
centrepiece we suggest
Defender or
Stay Put, or for directional mats or
mats with your logo we suggest
Logomats or
Design mats.
Reception Areas
Runners are necessary for the front of the
reception areas to give a finished front
desk appearance. These mats are available in
three sizes and are available in standard
mat qualities or Design runners.
Our anti-fatigue runners such as
Tireless are ideal for use behind the
reception area to control dust on staff
shoes;
Deskstop,
Deskstop Extra and
Deskstop Shield for underneath chairs.
Lifts
The area around the lift is a natural high
traffic point. Most of the employees and
guests must pass this point. The lift area,
and the lifts themselves, are an ideal point
to stop dirt circulating and this is where
efficient cleaning products, can have
maximum effect. Loose laid internal dust
control mats, or a clean zone installation
are also very effective in this position.
For installations around lifts, we recommend
Scraper, or for loose laid mats we
recommend Directional mats,
Design mats or
Décor.
Bars
Bars are an excellent area for inventive
Logo mats or
Design mats to create that all,
important atmosphere.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
On a smooth floor or corridors we recommend
cherry mats, or mountain twist. For
bathrooms/showers two types of mat are
available, either bath mats, or suction
rubber mats.
Restaurants and Kitchen Areas
In hotel restaurants, the addition of
Logomats can create an image of a
different environment. The area between the
kitchen and the restaurant is very
problematic, as the normal oils used in the
kitchen, must not be allowed to spread into
the Hotel. The problems of restaurant
hygiene, potentially unpleasant aromas and
general difficulty of maintaining carpets
when oil or grease gets onto the floor
covering, is stopped by the use and
maintenance of matting.
Ringo interlocking tiles can contain
most spillages within the kitchen and are
odour and chemical resistant.
Stay put mats can then be used in
connecting areas. |
