Did the coronavirus pandemic also bring you the need to reorganize and divide up spaces?

Across the world, we are living through exceptional times, and in thousands of organizations in Finland, the use of spaces has had to be reconsidered. The smaller the group working in the same space, the lower the risk of mass coronavirus infections. The approaching second wave has brought a particular need for educational institutions to divide and add workspaces. Municipalities are now feverishly considering how to quickly get more teaching spaces into already cramped educational buildings. Expomatto’s solution to this problem is the modular mat.

Concord Giant Modular Mat – Improves Acoustics and Is Easy to Install

The Concord Giant modular mat is a product that makes it extremely easy to temporarily or partially convert a gym or sports hall into a classroom. Sensitive wooden floors cannot withstand the constant movement of desks and chairs, so they should be protected with this ingenious system. The backing of the mat is polyolefin, which doesn’t leave marks on lacquered surfaces like traditional bitumen-based tile mats. A significant added benefit is the improvement of acoustics. Hall-like spaces are often acoustically quite chaotic for educational use, but the soft-surfaced mat also softens the sound environment into a pleasant one.

If necessary, only part of the gym can be used for another purpose, as the 1 x 2 meter tiles can protect an area of exactly the required size. It’s also easy to build various corridors with the modular mat system. The installation doesn’t require professional skills; it can be done, for example, as part of a sports class or as volunteer work for a sports club. The mat is available in five different color options, the most popular of which has been light gray: dirt isn’t visible on it, but the protected spaces remain pleasantly open and bright.

Modular Mats Make Renting Out Spaces Easier and Are a Cost-Effective Solution

Concord Giant is perhaps Europe’s highest quality modular protective mat system that withstands wear and tear well. You can rest assured that it will last for years. The cost-effectiveness of the modular mat system is realized over a longer period. It’s an investment that not only pays for itself but can also generate a profit. The number of uses is decisive: the more often there is a need to install and remove floor protection, the better the mat proves its value with its convenience and, above all, its cost savings. The ease of installing and dismantling the modular mat almost entices you to offer your spaces for rent.

Previously, municipalities may not have been very eager to rent out sports facilities for uses that require floor protection. The traditional exhibition mat-type protection is not very convenient or durable for repeated use, and storing the rolls causes a headache. Modular mats, on the other hand, last for years and are always just as clean, even if they have been dismantled and reassembled dozens of times. As a result, renting out spaces becomes easier, and hopefully more common. Expomatto also has a solution for storage: carts of exactly the right size, into which the tiles are loaded neatly and securely. The carts’ air-filled rubber wheels won’t damage the valuable parquet floor, as long as care is taken to ensure the floor is clean before installing and dismantling the tiles. A convenient storage cart for the modular mats can hold 250 square meters of mats.

Caring for Your Modular Mat

The modular mat can be cleaned very easily. Vacuuming and removing fresh stains are sufficient for normal use. But the best part is this: if a part gets badly stained, you can wash the necessary tile with a pressure washer! You can’t do this easily with a roll mat. And if a part were to be badly damaged, you can order a replacement tile from us—the entire mat doesn’t have to be thrown away.

Future Generations Also Thank This Environmentally Friendly Solution

Fortunately, municipalities and educational institutions nowadays also pay a lot of attention to environmental friendliness. All procurements should be considered in terms of their longevity. For the future of our planet, it doesn’t make sense to acquire a thinner exhibition carpet if you know that protection is needed regularly every year. Students can be motivated as volunteers for mat installation when they understand that our modular mat system is one small piece in the puzzle for a better future.
