Workstation Mats

Standing at a workstation for extended periods of time whilst at work, often, on cold, hard concrete floors, can take its toll on our muscles and joints. That’s why anti-fatigue workstation mats are recommended, to provide a warm and comfortable surface for your workers.

Workstation mats are cushioned mats to alleviate stress to the back and legs, improving productivity as a result. Our range of workstation mats are suitable for a number of commercial and industrial applications and can withstand heavy use. Choose mats with holes for wet or greasy areas, to allow the liquid to drain away from the standing surface to prevent slip and fall accidents.

What are workstation mats?

Workstation mats are specialised floor coverings designed to enhance comfort, safety, and productivity in various workplace settings. They are placed at individual workstations to provide support, reduce fatigue, and protect employees and underlying flooring.

What are the benefits of using workstation mats?

Workstation mats offer several benefits, including reducing fatigue and discomfort associated with prolonged standing, improving ergonomics, enhancing safety by providing traction and stability, protecting floors from damage, and minimising the risk of slips, trips, and falls.

What types of workstation mats are available?

• Anti-Fatigue Mats: These mats are designed to reduce fatigue and discomfort caused by prolonged standing on hard surfaces. They provide cushioning and support to the feet, legs, and back, promoting better blood circulation and reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
• Anti-Slip Mats: Anti-slip mats feature textured surfaces or grip-enhancing materials to provide traction and stability, reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls in areas where moisture, oils, or other slippery substances may be present. They enhance safety and prevent accidents in the workplace.
• Ergonomic Mats: Ergonomic mats are specifically designed to promote better posture and reduce strain on the body during repetitive tasks. They may feature contoured designs, bevelled edges, or supportive materials that help maintain proper alignment and reduce the risk of ergonomic injuries.
• Conductive Mats: Conductive mats are used in environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses a risk to sensitive electronic equipment or components. They dissipate static electricity and prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, making them suitable for use in electronics manufacturing facilities or laboratories.
• Cleanroom Mats: Cleanroom mats are designed for use in controlled environments such as semiconductor manufacturing facilities, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, or laboratories. They feature low-linting materials and adhesive layers to trap particles and contaminants from footwear, helping maintain cleanliness and prevent contamination.
• Standing Desk Mats: Standing desk mats are specifically designed for use with standing desks to provide cushioning and support for users who alternate between sitting and standing throughout the workday. They help reduce fatigue and discomfort associated with prolonged standing.
• Modular Interlocking Mats: These mats consist of individual tiles or modules that can be interconnected to create custom-sized matting solutions for workstations or assembly areas. They offer versatility in configuration, allowing for easy installation, reconfiguration, and replacement as needed.
• Chemical-Resistant Mats: Chemical-resistant mats are designed to withstand exposure to chemicals, oils, solvents, and other corrosive substances commonly encountered in industrial environments. They provide protection for both workers and underlying flooring from chemical spills and contamination.
• Specialty Mats: Specialty mats are designed for specific applications or industries, such as food service, healthcare, automotive repair, or welding. They may have unique properties tailored to the requirements of these environments, such as resistance to grease, oil, heat, or punctures.
• Logo Mats: Logo mats combine functionality with branding by incorporating custom logos, messages, or designs into the matting surface. They enhance brand visibility and aesthetics while providing practical benefits such as dirt trapping and slip resistance.

How do anti-fatigue mats work?

Anti-fatigue mats are constructed from cushioned materials that provide support and reduce pressure on the feet, legs, and back. They promote better blood circulation and muscle movement, which helps alleviate fatigue and discomfort caused by prolonged standing.

What are anti-slip mats used for?

Anti-slip mats feature textured surfaces or grip-enhancing materials that provide traction and stability, reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls in work environments where moisture, oils, or other slippery substances may be present.

How do ergonomic mats benefit workers?

Ergonomic mats are designed to promote better posture and reduce strain on the body during repetitive tasks. They may feature contoured designs, bevelled edges, or supportive materials that help maintain proper alignment and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

What are conductive mats, and where are they used?

Conductive mats are designed to dissipate static electricity and prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) in environments where sensitive electronic equipment or components are present. They help protect against damage from static electricity and are commonly used in electronics manufacturing facilities.

Are there workstation mats available for cleanroom environments?

Yes, cleanroom mats are designed for use in controlled environments such as semiconductor manufacturing facilities, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, or laboratories. They feature low-linting materials and adhesive layers to trap particles and contaminants from footwear, helping maintain cleanliness and prevent contamination.

Can workstation mats be customised?

Yes, many manufacturers offer customization options for workstation mats, including various sizes, shapes, colours, and the ability to incorporate logos or branding elements. Customization allows businesses to tailor mats to their specific needs and branding requirements.

How should workstation mats be cleaned and maintained?

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of workstation mats. This may include daily sweeping or vacuuming to remove debris, periodic washing with mild detergent and water, and inspection for signs of wear or damage. Mats should be replaced when they no longer provide adequate support or safety features.
