Classroom Mats

Classroom floors are subject to heavy footfall and scraping chair and table legs and so naturally, are prone to wear and tear, meaning carpets can become scuffed and worn fairly quickly. Investing in a Mats4U mat will not only mean that you avoid paying out for new carpets, it also means that your classroom is kept sanitary, absorbing any dirt and water off shoes and leaving it at the door. A clean classroom is not only important for a pupil's work ethic but is also essential in ensuring pupil’s health and safety during lessons.

Mats4U has a variety of commercial mats to choose from but if you’re after something to last, our best-selling Tri-Grip Heavy Duty variety is the perfect classroom choice due to its durability and protective properties. It can be purchased easily from the Mats4U website and delivered straight to your educational department.

If you would like to add a pop of colour to a dull classroom, then the Mats4U coloured mats can be used not only for classroom health and safety but to also brighten up a classroom’s interior, with 30 colours to choose from, transforming a plain and bare carpet. To go the extra mile, why not add a logo or an image onto the mat. A personalised mat makes for the perfect welcome mat giving your classroom that friendly feel, making your pupils feel right at home. The mat can also be personalised for educational purposes – whatever design you would like, Mats4U will do their best to incorporate into mat form. As well as hygiene and aesthetic purposes, the mats will also prevent any slips, trips and falls that are likely to occur at some point, particularly in a tiled classroom that can become dangerous and slippy when polished or wet.
