Speciality Mats

Speciality Mat Materials 

Some of our speciality mats are made of rubber but also have more of a variety off hardwearing, anti-slip and robust materials such as:

• Polypropylene: Polypropylene mats offer numerous benefits, making them a popular choice for various applications. One of the key advantages is their durability. Polypropylene is resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. It is also highly resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew, which ensures longevity in damp environments. Additionally, polypropylene mats are easy to clean and maintain, as they can resist staining and absorb minimal moisture. Their lightweight nature makes them easy to handle, and they often feature anti-slip properties, providing added safety. Overall, polypropylene is an excellent material for mats due to its durability, water resistance, and low maintenance.
• Releasable adhesive backing: Releasable adhesive backing on mats offers several key benefits, especially in environments where frequent repositioning or cleaning is required. This type of backing provides a secure grip on floors, preventing the mat from slipping or shifting during use, which enhances safety and stability. Unlike permanent adhesives, the releasable variety allows the mat to be easily removed, repositioned, or replaced without leaving residue or damaging the underlying surface. This makes it ideal for areas that require flexibility or frequent maintenance. Additionally, releasable adhesive backing helps extend the lifespan of mats by minimizing wear caused by constant movement, while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.
• PVC coated fabric: combine the strength and durability of PVC with the comfort and aesthetic appeal of fabric. The PVC coating adds a layer of protection, making the fabric resistant to moisture, chemicals, and wear, which enhances the mat's longevity, even in high-traffic or challenging environments. This coating also helps prevent mold, mildew, and stains, making the mats easier to clean and maintain. Meanwhile, the fabric surface provides a softer, more comfortable feel, offering both aesthetic versatility and a pleasant tactile experience. This blend of materials creates a mat that not only withstands heavy use but also delivers comfort, slip resistance, and a stylish appearance, making it suitable for both commercial and residential settings.
• PVC: mats offer a wide range of benefits, making them a versatile and popular choice for various settings. One of the key advantages of PVC is its durability. PVC mats are resistant to wear, chemicals, and moisture, which makes them ideal for industrial, commercial, and even residential use. They are also easy to clean and maintain, withstanding frequent washing without losing their shape or integrity. PVC’s flexibility allows these mats to conform to different surfaces, providing comfort and reducing fatigue in standing environments. Additionally, PVC mats are often slip-resistant, adding an extra layer of safety, particularly in wet or oily conditions. Their affordability, coupled with these performance benefits, makes PVC mats an excellent choice for long-term, cost-effective flooring solutions.
