We received this feedback from a client that we helped with matting for their condo building in 2014, and are proud to share it:
"I just came across some of our email exchanges from last year and thought you'd be happy to know how much we're enjoying the mats your company made for our front door and elevators. The colour scheme is perfect and we still get compliments on our choices. We're keeping the elevator floors bare...

Mature coir fibres contain more lignin (a complex woody chemical) and less cellulose than fibres like flax, or cotton; this...

Metal entrance matting systems (like C/S Pedisystems) are extraordinarily durable and long-lasting, but they're not indestructible! One of the most common problems we're called out to fix are bent and damaged mat rails - and most of the time the damage has been caused by heavy rolling loads.
Each style of metal entrance matting has a different rating for maximum rolling loads. Depending on the specific mat profile chosen, typical rolling wheel load ratings can range from...

Everybody knows that Pedisystems by C/S are a good-looking, functional, and durable way to keep your building's entrances clean and safe. But as great as Pedisystems are, they're not magic - they need maintenance and TLC just like any other entrance matting system!
Most people aren't aware that Pedisystems can be lifted or rolled right up out of their recessed well for cleaning. That recessed well is the secret to a Pedisystem's success - as dirt is...

Two of the most common words we use when describing an upcoming flooring job are "flat and smooth". But what exactly does "flat and smooth" mean?
The foremost rule of thumb when it comes to installed flooring is that whatever you start with is what you finish with - and that goes double for your subfloor prep work! Whenever it's time to install a new floor into a space, the subfloor (that is, the unfinished flooring substrate...

You don’t rent your telephone anymore…
…so why still rent your entrance mats?
Rental mats are not environmentally friendly.
When a rental entrance mat is dirty, the rental company has to:
Pick up your dirty mat and transport to a centralized facility dozens of kilometers away, consuming fuel and creating greenhouse gas emissions;
Run it through an industrial chemical washing process, consuming electricity and creating dirty waste water;
Deliver it back to your facility, consuming more fuel and creating more greenhouse gas...

Anti-fatigue mats are designed to reduce tiredness and stress on the feet, legs, and lower back for workers who stand in one position for long periods of time (e.g. an entire 8-hour shift). While anti-fatigue mats can help reduce weariness, no single solution can eliminate it – even sitting or lying down for extended periods needs a break! Scientific studies show that standing for long stretches of time is particularly stressful and fatiguing, especially if it’s...

Types of Extruded Vinyl Mats
