Universal Services > Mat Service > Premium Solid Colour Mats
You don't need to sacrifice beauty for utility - protect your floors from damaging dirt and moisture with Universal's stylish Premium Solid Colour mats.
Premium Solid Colour mats are built specifically for trapping dirt and moisture. These durable and versatile mats feature the following:
- Solution-dyed nylon fibers: solution-dyed nylon (SDN) fibers are dyed when the fiber is still in the molten state - so the dye goes all the way through. This means that Premium Solid Colour mats will resist fading and bleaching longer than conventional floor mats.
- Crush-resistant pile: enables Premium Solid Colour mats to trap more dirt and moisture than conventional mats. This feature also extends the functional life of these mats.
- Nitrile rubber backing: features a skid-resistant surface which improves safety and resists oil and grease.
- Vibrant Colours: Premium Solid Colour mats are available in a variety of vibrant colours to suit every need.

The Facts about Dirt
Research has turned up some interesting facts on the troublesome problem of dust and dirt. Consider the following:
- More than 80% of dirt and grime in public buildings is tracked from outside.
- One square yard of commercial carpeting can accumulate one pound of dirt a week and up to two pounds of dirt a week during wet weather.
- Dirt and dust cause 90% of computer failures.
- Over 30% of worker injuries are slip related.
- Dust is a major source of indoor air pollution.
- 91% of shoppers select a store to shop in because of its appearance.
- It is estimated that 90% of building maintenance cost is labour and 39% of all custodial time is devoted to floor care and maintenance.
Clearly, dust and dirt are major problems and yet the cost and effort of removing dirt from your premises can be costly. For instance:
- The cost of removing one pound of dirt from a building can easily exceed $500.
- Only 10% of dirt is removed from floor mats with a vacuum cleaner.
- Moisture and tracked-in dirt can quickly destroy vacuums.
