What is industrial matting?

Industrial matting refers to durable, heavy-duty mats designed to provide temporary or permanent flooring solutions in industrial settings. These mats are constructed to withstand high traffic, heavy machinery, chemicals, and adverse weather conditions.

What are the primary uses of industrial matting?

Industrial matting serves various purposes, including:

• Providing traction and safety on slippery surfaces
• Protecting underlying surfaces from damage caused by heavy equipment or foot traffic
• Reducing fatigue and injury risk for workers who stand for extended periods
• Preventing contamination by creating barriers between surfaces and pollutants
• Creating temporary roadways or pathways in construction sites or outdoor events

What are the different types of industrial matting available?

Industrial matting comes in various types to suit different applications, including:

• Rubber mats: Resilient and durable, suitable for heavy-duty applications such as truck bed liners, gym flooring, or anti-fatigue mats.
• Plastic mats: Lightweight yet robust, often used for temporary pathways, ground protection, or as modular flooring systems.
• Composite mats: Made from a combination of materials like wood and polymers, providing strength and versatility for construction sites, events, or environmentally sensitive areas.
• Anti-fatigue mats: Ergonomically designed mats with cushioning properties to reduce strain on workers' feet, legs, and backs during prolonged standing or walking.

How do I choose the right industrial matting for my needs?

Consider the following factors:

• Application: Determine the specific requirements of your industrial environment, such as the type of traffic, exposure to chemicals, or weather conditions.
• Durability: Choose mats that can withstand the anticipated level of wear and tear in your facility.
• Size and shape: Ensure the mats are compatible with the layout and dimensions of the area where they will be installed.
• Safety features: Look for mats with slip-resistant surfaces and bevelled edges to minimise tripping hazards.
• Maintenance requirements: Consider ease of cleaning and upkeep to ensure long-term performance.
