OWNING VS. RENTING One of the most common objections that customers give when approached about purchasing their mats is that they rent them. Rental mats provide an obvious convenience factor for the customer, but there are issues to consider that purchasing may resolve. Why rental mats are bad for business A proper matting system removes up to 72% more combined dirt and water than rental matting, therefore reducing maintenace costs. Rental mats can be dangerous as corners are often prone to curl or they shift and slip. Reduce the possibility of liability by reducing tripping hazards! Purchase of a mat is often the same cost as renting the same mat for 8 months. Rental mats provide a limited range of mat widths, lengths, colors and shapes. Dye lots may be inconsistent and not match throughout the facility. Rental mats are usually only wiper mats. A McCrann Cyrus matting system has both the wiper and scraper components. In the summer months, less matting may be required. Does your contract compensate you for these months? Advantages of owning your own McCrann Cyrus mats Mat purchasing provides more variety in sizes, colors and quality. McCrann Cyrus mats are higher quality and, therefore, last longer. McCrann Cyrus mats are better for the environment.
