To address the hotels challenges , Excel Mattings SB+ system was specified as a long term high performance solution across both entrance areas. A detailed cost comparison highlighted the clear lifecycle advantages of the SB+ system when measured against the ongoing expense and limitations associated with wash and return matting services, demonstrating improved durability, consistent performance and reduced operational costs over time.
In addition the transition to a fixed entrance matting system delivers a measurable reduction in environmental impact. By eliminating the continuous transportation, industrial laundering and replacement cycle inherent to wash and return services. The SB+ system contributes to lower carbon emissions, reduced water and energy consumption and decreased material waste over the product’s lifespan. This supports a more sustainable approach to facility management without compromising performance.
The solution was further enhanced through the introduction of a secondary external matting zone, positioned within a covered area to provide an additional level of defence against dirt and moisture prior to entry into the building. This two-stage approach significantly improves the overall effectiveness of the system in maintaining internal floor cleanliness.
Product samples were supplied during the specification stage, allowing stakeholders to assess both performance characteristics and visual suitability. Reference installations from previously completed projects further demonstrated the systems proven track record within comparable high profile environments reinforcing confidence in the decision to implement a robust, fixed matting solution aligned with the Hilton brand standard.
