Non-slip mats and anti-slip matting are primarily used in areas where traction underfoot is critical to help prevent slips, trips and falls. They are designed for areas that are prone to wet and slippery floors and perform effectively under these circumstances.

We provide a large selection of non-slip mats that are suitable for all industrial, commercial and domestic applications. Whether the mat is used in a low traffic domestic area, or a busier and more industrial location, they are super durable and can help prevent slips and falls in all areas.

Our non-slip mats excel at ensuring a safer environment. There are many options when it comes to non-slip mats, such as with or without drainage holes, rolls or fixed sizes, anti-bacterial for bare foot areas and more. We provide many options of non-slip mats designed for workplaces and public areas. If you want to improve health and safety and prevent slips, our non-slip mats are the way to go.

Why buy a non-slip mat?

Safety is a high priority for everyone, especially businesses wanting to avoid costly compensation claims. It is the responsibility of the business owner or local council to ensure such areas are well maintained and include safety precautions, such as standard non slip mats or non slip rubber mats, to ensure the risk of accidents is minimised. Non slip rubber matting and non slip floor mats assist safety in the workplace due to its anti slip and anti-vibrational properties, and is therefore suitable for a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications and environments. If your premises are prone to wet and slippery floors, action must be taken to create a safer working or public environment. Failure to use non-slip matting in areas prone to wet and slippery floors can result in serious injuries, absenteeism, complaints, loss of reputation and loss of productivity.

Non-slip mats are a great solution for preventing slip and fall accidents, by providing traction underfoot to give a non-slip walking surface. Non-slip mats with drainage holes also allow for water to fall below the walking surface, providing even more traction. They can also be used both indoors and outdoors at entrances or otherwise, and greatly contribute to improving health and safety standards.

Our non-slip mats are designed to do all or some of the following:

• Prevent slip and fall accidents
• Create a safe walking surface
• Resist against chemicals, oils and grease
• Remove heavy dirty and mud from footwear
• Improve hygiene

With these factors in mind, they are perfect for all places prone to water, dirt, chemicals, oils and grease.

Where can non-slip mats be placed?

Our non-slip floor mats are also great for public spaces, such as swimming pools, gyms, changing rooms, restaurants and more. They need non slip rubber matting because, not only do they have a high volume of traffic, but they are prone to becoming damp or wet which can lead to slips and falls.

Our non-slip mats are suitable for all areas where traction underfoot is vital to prevent slips and falls. Examples of where our non-slip mats can be placed are:

• Production lines and workstations
• Industrial manufacturing environments
• Food handling areas, such kitchens, bars and restaurants
• Swimming pools
• Leisure centres
• Shower, changing or wet rooms
• Gymnasiums
• Indoor or outdoor entrances 

Which Non-Slip Mat should I choose?

There are many non-slip mat options to choose from, so it’s important to pick the right mat suitable for your desired location, so that it can do the best possible job. Here are some points to help you choose:

Non-Slip Mats for Chemicals, Oils and Grease

In industries where contaminants and liquids such as oil, grease and chemicals are used, anti-slip mats or a non-slip mat roll can help to prevent employees and customers from injuring themselves. Businesses such as restaurants, bars, hotels and industrial manufacturing environments can benefit from non-slip matting, as they are designed to give a non-slip surface at all times, which helps to prevent slips, trips and falls.

When working with chemicals, oils or grease, it is important to choose a non-slip mat that is constructed of nitrile rubber. Standard rubber will not be suitable in these environments as the substances mat cause the mat to crack or break down. Examples of nitrile rubber non-slip mats include the Superscrape Non-Slip Rubber Mat and the Comfort Scrape Rubber Mat. If you are looking for a mat with drainage holes, to allow the chemicals and other substances to fall through, we recommend the Comfort Flow Rubber Mat, also constructed of nitrile rubber. This is a great choice for in a kitchen, as it can be easily cleaned in a dishwasher.

If you have a specific chemical or oil that you work with, please check out of Chemical Compatibility Chart to see which type of mat will be best for your environment.

Non-Slip Mats for Bare Foot Areas

Bare feet combined with wet floors, in areas such as showers rooms or swimming pools, can be a major slip hazard. These environments require a non-slip mat to avoid accidents and improve safety. For the areas we recommend non-slip mats that are comfortable and hygienic for bare feet, such as the Heronrib Wet Area Non-Slip Mats that contains anti-bacterial properties to prevent the growth of fungi and prevent odours.

Non-Slip Entrance Mats

Durable in harsh weather conditions, non-slip entrance mats, such as the Value Rubber Scraper with Holes are able to scrape off heavy dirt and mud whilst the large drainage holes clear away water. This protects your facility from dirt and water, ensuring a safe and clean entrance to your premises.

Non-Slip Mats for Large Areas & Non-Slip Mat Rolls

For larger areas, non-slip matting on a roll, such as Traction Tread or Vynagrip, is a good choice as this anti slip matting can be cut to your ideal requirements.

Anti-Fatigue Non-Slip Mats

To provide comfort and safety, some of our non-slip mats contain anti-fatigue properties to improve the wellbeing of workers. Anti-fatigue non-slip mats not only prevent slips, but they also improve comfort to reduce aches and pains, improves blood flow, prevents serious health issues, and improve work productivity. Ideal for people who are required to stand for a long period of time, in an area prone to wet or slippery floors. On an industrial production line, in kitchen or behind a bar for example.

How do you clean Non-Slip Mats?

Our non-slip mats are super easy to clean since they are made from either PVC or rubber. They can simply be cleaned using a hose or pressure washer. Some mats, such as the Comfort Flow Non-Slip Kitchen Mat can even be cleaned in a dishwasher!
