Winter Is Here – Time to Winter-Proof Your Floors with Gallagher

Winter in Michigan and Northern Indiana is no joke. Snow, ice, salt, and slush – all of it finds its way indoors, wreaking havoc on your floors and turning entryways into slip-and-fall zones. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With Gallagher Uniform’s floor mat rental service, you can protect your floors, safeguard your employees and customers, and even save time and money this winter.

Here’s why floor mats are a must-have for your business and how Gallagher can help you weather the storm.

Why Floor Mats Are Essential in Winter

Winter weather isn’t just rough on the roads—it’s rough on your floors. Let’s break it down:

1. Protect Your Floors from Damage

Salt and moisture are a destructive duo. Salt scratches and corrodes floor finishes, while melting snow seeps into carpets and hardwood, causing stains, warping, and even mold growth. Repairing these issues can cost thousands of dollars per year, but a properly placed floor mat system can prevent much of this damage.

 2. Reduce Slip-and-Fall Risks

Did you know that slips and falls account for over 1 million hospital visits each year, according to the National Floor Safety Institute? Wet, slippery floors are a leading cause, especially during the winter months. High-traction floor mats from Gallagher trap moisture and dirt, keeping your floors dry and your workplace safe.

3. Save Time and Eliminate Hassle

With Gallagher’s floor mat rental service, you no longer need to worry about constantly purchasing new mats or managing their upkeep. Our service ensures you always have clean, well-maintained mats ready to do their job, so your custodial team can focus on more important tasks instead of cleaning or replacing worn-out mats. It’s a seamless solution that keeps your business running smoothly all winter long.

The Gallagher Advantage – A Comprehensive Floor Mat System

At Gallagher, we provide a complete floor mat solution designed to keep your business running even during those tough winter months. Our mats are built to handle all the mess, protect your team, and help keep your business looking great and on brand. Here's how each of our mats works:

Scraper Mats

Scraper mats are the ultimate barrier between winter grime and your floors. Placed at entrances, they trap dirt, salt, and debris right at the door, stopping it from being tracked inside. Their durable construction and slip-resistant backing keep them in place, even in high-traffic areas. With scraper mats in place, your floors stay cleaner for longer—no matter how messy the weather gets.

Anti-Fatigue Mats

Standing for long hours can take a toll on your team, especially on cold, hard floors. Anti-fatigue mats provide the cushioning and support employees need to stay comfortable and focused. By reducing strain on feet, legs, and backs, these mats help boost productivity while insulating against the chill of winter. Perfect for workstations, counters, or any area where employees stand for extended periods.

Custom Logo Mats

Why settle for ordinary when your mats can work double duty? Custom logo mats keep dirt and moisture at bay while showcasing your brand in high-visibility areas like lobbies and entryways. Durable and professionally designed, these mats make a strong first impression on visitors and reinforce your company’s commitment to quality with every step.

Safety Mats

Slips and falls can happen anywhere, but safety mats are your first defense in high-risk zones. Pre-printed with clear warnings or messages, they’re ideal for kitchens, loading docks, or other areas prone to spills. With high-traction surfaces and bold designs, safety mats help reduce risks while showing that you prioritize a secure work environment.
