Frequently Asked QuestionsQ What is Americorsquos lead time for standard matsA 5 business days Q When might longer lead times applyA When ordering any special cut Rubber backed mats Defender or

EverEase Q Why doesnrsquot Americo charge a minimum order for mats like there is

for padsA Americo must compete with the industry practice to sell one mat plus

freight with no minimum order requirement Q Which mats are best used on the flooring I haveA Vinyl backed mats are recommended for use on any hard surface

flooring On carpeting it is recommended to use rubber backed matting with cleated backing

Q Explain the difference between ldquoCustom Cutrdquo and ldquoExact CutrdquoA Custom Cut is just a general term for a requested size that is not

standard Any custom cut mat will still have a tolerance of +- 1rdquo required We prefer not to accept Exact Cut requests because the matting production process just does not ensure exact sizes The exception here is Defender mats that can be Exact Cut Contact Sales with any Exact Cut mat requests

Q Which mats can be Custom cutB Refer to the chart showing which mats can be produced in custom

lengths or widths

Q What is the maximum length we can produce for each type of matA 60rsquo

Q Can we seam mats together to make them wider or longerA Gypsy is the only mat that can be seamed to be made wider or

longer Extra charges will apply so check with matting production The best recommendation to give when this request comes up is to use Defender however even then the maximum width is 12rsquo 6rdquo

Q Which mats get boxed and which get shipped flat on palletsA This is generally at the discretion of Americo for cost savings or at

the request of a customer

Q Which mats have rubber or vinyl backingB Refer to your Americo Matting Spec sheets

Q Can you get a vinyl backed mat in a rubber backA No Mats are backed either or and canrsquot be changed

Q Which mats get boxed and which get shipped flat on palletsA This is generally at the discretion of Americo for cost savings or at

the request of a customer

Q What is the best method for cleaning matsA See the mat training materials

Q Explain the difference between ldquoCustom Cutrdquo and ldquoExact CutrdquoA Custom Cut is just a general term for a requested size that is not

standard Any custom cut mat will still have a tolerance of +- 1rdquo required We prefer not to accept Exact Cut requests because the matting production process just does not ensure exact sizes The exception here is Defender mats that can be Exact Cut Contact Sales with any Exact Cut mat requests

Q Which mats can be Custom cutB Refer to the chart showing which mats can be produced in custom

lengths or widths

Q What is the maximum length we can produce for each type of matA 60rsquo

Q Can we seam mats together to make them wider or longerA Gypsy is the only mat that can be seamed to be made wider or

longer Extra charges will apply so check with matting production The best recommendation to give when this request comes up is to use Defender however even then the maximum width is 12rsquo 6rdquo

Q Which mats get boxed and which get shipped flat on palletsA This is generally at the discretion of Americo for cost savings or at

the request of a customer

Q Which mats have rubber or vinyl backingB Refer to your Americo Matting Spec sheets

Q Can you get a vinyl backed mat in a rubber backA No Mats are backed either or and canrsquot be changed

Q Which mats get boxed and which get shipped flat on palletsA This is generally at the discretion of Americo for cost savings or at

the request of a customer

Q What is the best method for cleaning matsA See the mat training materials
