How Do You Install Sticky Floor Mats?

Using a sticky floor mat in a room or space is a great way to keep dirt, impurities, and contaminants from entering into a space requiring absolute dust and dirt control. It is relatively easy to install a sticky floor mat, as long as you take some steps to prep the area, first.

1. Prepare the area where the sticky floor mat or mats will be installed. It’s a good idea to thoroughly clean the floor with water and if a sticky mat was previously present, use water and alcohol. This will reduce all residue and keep it from delaminating over time.
2. Placement of the sticky floor mat. It works best to install a sticky mat vertical to a door with the tab away from the traffic to ensure both of people’s feet will tap the mat.
3. Adhere it to the floor. After removing the bottom layer, place the mat sticky side down against the end of the doorway, and then slowly place the mat on the floor. Rub your hand across it back and forth with steady pressure. This will eliminate air bubbles and ensure a smooth install.
4. Remove the top protective film. Just go to the tab and peel back the first layer by rolling it up and into a ball to minimize static.
5. Use the mat. Make sure both feet hit the mat when people enter the room. Once about 50 passes have been made, it’s a good idea to change the mat layers.

Tacky-Mat Product Option

Tacky-Mat 18x36 inches provides an antimicrobial surface that is perfect for medical facilities, operating rooms, laboratories, hospitals, food service facilities, and manufacturing settings. This sticky floor mat is made in the USA and does a great job removing dirt and dust from the surface of shoes. It also provides anti-slip traction. When a layer is soiled, simply peel it off to expose a new sheet and dispose of the used one.

These 18x36 inch tacky mats are sold in cases of 4 pads which each contain 30 peel-off sheets. Each sheet provides 4.5 square feet of coverage with a thickness of less than 2mm.

There are also different sizes available - 18x46, 24x36, and 36x46.

This product is sold without a tray, which is only needed when each sheet will not be used in a single location. Frames are often used in construction sites where contractors use a few sheets before moving to a new job site. They are also sometimes used in gymnasiums with wood floors, for athletes to step on to remove any dirt or debris from the bottom of their sneakers before playing a game of basketball or similar.
