Andersen Waterhog Eco Floor Mats
Feb. 27, 2009 — They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single footstep. Leaving aside that this single footstep is usually toward a cab on the way to the airport — you know how long it would take to walk a thousand miles? — we'll just say that for co-ops and condos, our journey toward greener pastures can now begin with not just a single footstep, but several footsteps. Particularly when it rains.
The latest addition to the 35-year-old Andersen Company's Waterhog brand of floor mats, the Eco Line is made from 100% recycled material. The post-consumer fibers are made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), reclaimed from plastic soda bottles and the like, and the backing contains 15-20 percent recycled tires. Perhaps from those cabs that take you to the airport.
Available in 35-, 45- and 70-inch widths up to 60 feet long, the 3/8" thick mats weigh 30 ounces per square yard. It come in various designs and your choice of eight colors. Certified slip-resistant by the National Floor Safety Institute — isn't it amazing, all these specialized institutes and associations we learn about from New Products? — and can help your building gain points toward LEED certification.
What do you know? Maybe being called a doormat isn't so bad!
