School Mats

Educational environments are nearly always subject to high amounts of foot traffic and so it’s important to ensure that the correct health and safety measures are in place. At Mats4U, we have a fantastic range of different, high quality mats designed to provide a safe and hygienic working environment. Across the UK, our Waterhog mats have been used in the entrance ways of schools to scrape and wipe the footwear of pupils and staff to not only prevent carpet stains but to ensure that the interior remains hygienic.

As well as saving on cleaning costs, our entrance matting also prevents entrance ways and other areas of schools from becoming a safety hazard. The Superscrape rubber mats are particularly effective at preventing slips, trips and falls in classrooms and corridors with their 100% Nitrile rubber surface providing more than sufficient traction when it comes to busy areas. Preventing injury in schools is essential and Mats4U are here to help you ensure that the working environment is safe.

Whether it’s the classrooms, the entrance ways, the gym or changing rooms, Mats4U have every type of mat you’ll need to ensure hygiene and safety. An area in particular need of sufficient matting is gyms and changing rooms as these places often have surface areas that can become dangerous when wet. To prevent injury from slipping as well as ensuring dirt and bacteria is kept at bay, the Heronrib wet area non-slip mats are treated with an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal additive to ensure that infections are kept at bay, making for a super hygienic gym changing room.
