From optimising workforce productivity to enhancing workplace safety, industrial floor mats add invaluable functional values to workplaces.
Although there are many different types of industrial mats, almost all of them offer the same benefits. These include:
1. Anti-Fatigue Comfort
Anti-fatigue mats for wet & dry areas are usually designed as meshes without any backing to allow moisture drainage or seepage. Many anti-fatigue mats are also slip-resistant to avoid accidental falls and they feature rough anti-slip grit surfaces for traction. Although many anti-fatigue mats share similar properties, there are special models that are optimized for functional performance in specific industries.
2. Safety Messages
There are special types of industrial mats that feature graphical safety messages on their surfaces. Often marketed as logo mats, these mats provide the desired aesthetic effect but can also have various safety messages as well as re-enforce a brand logo or brand messaging.
3. Floor Protection
Some industrial mats are designed to keep the floors in production environments and other industrial sites from getting damaged through chipping, staining or scratching in high traffic areas. They have special design features like traction treads and antimicrobial treatment.
4. Industry-Specific Protection
Designed to provide safety and protection in risk-prone production environments, industry-specific protection mats are considered among the most functional industrial mats. These mats offer protection against special workplace hazards and risks. One type of industry-specific protection mats is the welding safe mat. These mats are specially designed to ensure that welders are safe from electrical shocks and electrostatic discharge (ESD).
5. Grease, Oil & Chemical-Resistance
Like all the other aforementioned functional properties, grease, oil and chemical resistance is a shared quality in almost all industrial mats. These mats have features such as cell-blended top cushions, a vinyl backing and drain-through holes are integral in attaining this resistance.
