Wet Area Mats

Features Of Our Wet Area Floor Mats & Matting Rolls

Our wet area floor mats are crafted from some of the toughest, most durable materials to ensure long-lasting performance in demanding environments. These mats feature recycled rubber and closed-cell nitrile rubber cushions, offering superior comfort and durability while resisting moisture, grease, and chemicals. The non-toxic, food-grade PVC and flexible, low-toxicity PVC options provide safe, environmentally friendly solutions for areas requiring stringent hygiene standards. For grease-prone environments, 100% grease-resistant natural rubber and grease-proof premium nitrile rubber ensure maximum protection against oils and spills. Additionally, mats made with vinyl and PVC backing, as well as absorbent polypropylene, offer both stability and quick-drying capabilities, while recycled high-impact co-polymer polypropylene delivers excellent durability in heavy-duty settings. Together, these materials provide the perfect blend of safety, comfort, and long-lasting resilience in wet and greasy environments.

Common Materials for Wet Area Floor Mats:

• Rubber: Rubber mats are known for their excellent durability, resilience, and versatility, making them a popular choice for various settings. One of the primary benefits of rubber is its slip-resistant properties, which enhance safety in wet or high-traffic areas. Rubber mats also provide cushioning and shock absorption, which reduces fatigue and discomfort for individuals standing for long periods, making them ideal for workplaces or fitness environments. Additionally, rubber is resistant to extreme temperatures, moisture, and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance. These mats are also easy to clean and maintain, as they resist stains and water absorption. Their durability, comfort, and safety features make rubber mats a reliable and practical flooring solution for both indoor and outdoor applications.
• Nitrile Rubber: Nitrile rubber mats offer exceptional performance, particularly in environments exposed to oils, chemicals, and grease. One of the primary advantages of nitrile rubber is its superior resistance to these substances, making it ideal for industrial kitchens, workshops, or any area where spills are common. Nitrile rubber is also highly durable, withstanding heavy use, abrasions, and extreme temperatures without degrading. In addition to its chemical resistance, nitrile rubber mats provide excellent slip resistance, enhancing safety in slippery environments. They also maintain flexibility over time, providing a comfortable, cushioned surface that helps reduce fatigue for individuals standing for extended periods. Easy to clean and long-lasting, nitrile rubber mats are a practical choice for tough, demanding conditions.
• PVC: PVC is an excellent material for residential kitchen mats because it combines durability, comfort, and ease of maintenance. Its water-resistant and stain-resistant properties make it ideal for kitchen environments where spills are common, ensuring the mat stays clean and hygienic with minimal effort. PVC's natural resilience also allows it to withstand heavy foot traffic, ensuring long-lasting performance. Many PVC kitchen mats are designed with anti-fatigue cushioning, providing essential support to reduce strain during long periods of standing. Additionally, the textured surface of PVC mats enhances slip resistance, adding an extra layer of safety in busy kitchens, all at an affordable price.
  
  

Anti-Slip Safety Mats in Wet Areas

Anti-slip safety mats are essential for wet areas, as they significantly reduce the risk of slips and falls while providing a stable and secure surface. These mats are typically made from water-resistant materials like nitrile rubber, PVC, or other durable polymers that maintain their grip even when exposed to moisture, oils, or chemicals. Many anti-slip mats are designed with textured surfaces or raised patterns that increase traction, helping to prevent accidents in wet conditions.

For optimal performance in wet areas, these mats often feature drainage holes or channels that allow liquids to flow through and away from the surface, keeping the walking area as dry as possible. This is particularly beneficial in environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, pool areas, or industrial workstations where spills or constant moisture are common. The combination of slip resistance, quick drainage, and durability makes anti-slip safety mats an indispensable solution for enhancing safety in wet environments.

Anti Fatigue In Wet Areas

Anti-fatigue mats designed for wet areas provide both comfort and safety, making them ideal for environments like kitchens, bars, industrial settings, or commercial dishwashing stations. These mats are constructed to offer superior cushioning, reducing strain and discomfort for individuals who stand for long periods, thereby improving productivity and minimizing fatigue-related injuries.

In wet areas, anti-fatigue mats are often made with materials like nitrile rubber or PVC that resist moisture, oils, and chemicals. They feature drainage holes or raised surfaces that allow liquids to flow through or away from the standing area, keeping the surface dry and slip-resistant. Additionally, these mats are designed with anti-slip textures that provide secure footing even when wet, enhancing safety. The combination of comfort, durability, and slip resistance makes anti-fatigue mats essential in wet environments where both safety and ergonomics are priorities.
