What are Tacky Mats?

Tacky mats (tack mats), also known as sticky mats are different compared to your standard mats. They are specially designed mats with a removable sticky, adhesive layer to capture dust and dirt from footwear, wheeled traffic and other passing objects upon entry. Designed to prevent the transfer of dirt into sanitary environments, tack mats are ideal in areas where hygiene is paramount, such as factories, computer rooms, clean rooms, warehouses, school gymnasiums and healthcare facilities.  If you have a business that requires certain areas to be free from dirt and dust, tacky floor mats may be the perfect commercial matting solution for you. Speak to our experts today about our range of tack mats, sticky mats and tacky floor mats.

To effectively remove dirt and dust particles from underfoot, tacky mats have a sticky layer that collects and holds on to even the smallest piece of dirt. This stops it from being transferred into areas that must be kept clean by using them as sticky entrance mats or as standard sticky floor mats. Our Clean Stride adhesive tacky mats have multiple, replaceable layers unlike other sticky door mats that can then be peeled away and disposed once they are used, to reveal a fresh sticky tack mat layer to continue effective dust removal. Each removable sheet eliminates even the finest piece of dirt, guaranteeing contamination is stopped from being transferred into sensitive areas.

We also offer dual tacky mats, which are combined with our best-selling entrance mat, the Waterhog Classic. This is designed so that the Waterhog removes any heavy dirt and moisture, followed by the adhesive layer of the tacky mat which grabs remaining dirt and dust particles.  

Why are Tacky Mats important?

Removing contaminated particles is crucial in order to keep facility sterile. When using a standard mat, there may be small traces of fine dirt remaining on footwear or other objects.  However, the sticky layer captures dirt as soon it comes into contact with the layer. Contaminated particles are then left behind on the mat until ready to be disposed. Once sheet is dirty, remove layer to reveal a new clean sheet underneath.

Where can Tacky Mats be placed?
