COVER STORY MILLIKEN Make A Safe
Entrance With Milliken
Shopping centres and retail stores need an entrance matting solution that will look great and withstand high foot traffic while keeping floors clean and safe for customers and staff, says Milliken.
Your store’s doorway is often neglected, as the area where people spend little time. However, it is the primary perspective that your clients and staff experience on visiting your building, and the final thing they see when they leave, this is why Milliken believes you should ensure your entrance leaves a positive lasting memory.
They say that it takes only a few seconds for someone to form their perspective of your building, which means that it is essential to ensure your space is making the best possible first impression.
Milliken aims to help you establish an aesthetically pleasing and functional entranceway to your building, balancing superior design and image while keeping in mind safety and functionality.
According to the Health and Safety Executive, slips and trips are one of the most common types of accident and cause over a third of all major reported injuries.
Entrance flooring shouldn’t be an afterthought of building design, but a key functional and aesthetic consideration. After all, you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression!
