Industrial Matting Categories

Industrial matting encompasses various categories, each with its own unique features and applications, making it imperative to understand the options available before selecting.

1. Sponge Mats (Dry Areas)

Sponge mats are typically crafted from foam materials offering exceptional cushioning, anti-fatigue properties, and slip resistance. Their composition and construction make them ideal for use in areas such as kitchens, standing workstations, and retail spaces. What sets sponge mats apart from other categories is their premium cushioning making them most suitable for dry areas and static workstations.   


2. Laminate Mats (Dry Areas)

Our laminate mats are constructed by using our unique Uni-Fusion™ bonding technology to fuse a durable PVC top surface onto a resilient micro-cellular vinyl base for maximum fatigue relief and durability. They are commonly used in walkways and linear manufacturing layouts. The distinct advantage of laminate mats lies in their resistance to wear and tear, as well as their customizability to complement various design and functional needs. 


3. Modular Mats

Modular mats are composed of individual interlocking tiles offering versatility, customization, and easy maintenance. Ideal for use in expansive industrial workstations as islands or a complete wall-to-wall installation. Their adaptability and ease of installation and reconfiguration makes them a preferred choice for dynamic environments where flexibility and adaptability are key priorities. 


4. Rubber Mats

Rubber mats, typically manufactured from synthetic or natural rubber materials, offer slip resistance, durability, and resistance to chemicals. They are commonly utilized in industrial workspaces, workshops, and outdoor areas due to their resilience and ability to withstand harsh conditions. The unique advantage of rubber mats lies in their ability to maintain structural integrity in the face of demanding environments and consistently deliver safety and comfort requirements. We offer our modular matting in a range of rubber compounds to suit most work environments including nitrile, ESD, fire retardancy or a combination thereof.
