Aquatic Matting and Flooring

Options for Aquatic Matting

Aquatic matting serves many purposes around a pool area, sauna, hot tub, splash pad, or locker room shower. Swimming pool safety matting offers good traction when wet while resisting the formation of mold and mildew. In a constantly wet area at an aquatic center, pool deck surround, or locker room, our poolside matting minimizes maintenance requirements while yielding a far more comfortable surface than bare concrete. It’s available in several colors, too, allowing you to create a fun, vibrant place to hang out. Selecting pool matting from Greatmats will make a huge splash with your customers and patrons – no diving board or belly flops needed!

Types of Aquatic Flooring

We offer three primary designs of aquatic matting, depending on the coverage requirements and installation method you want to use.

Matting Rolls

Our matting rolls consist of PVC plastic and vinyl materials offered in a range of colors and coverage sizes. They provide slip resistance, perforated designs, anti-microbial properties, and anti-fungal properties. They feel comfortable underneath bare feet. You can install them temporarily or permanently. Some of the models include:

• Heronrib Wet Area Safety Matting in 2x33-, 3x33-, or 4x33-foot rolls
  
• Floorline Non-Slip Floor Matting in 2x33- or 3x33-foot rolls
  
• 3M Safety Walk Aquatic Wet Area Matting in 3x2-, 3x5-, 3x10-, 3x20-, or 3x50-foot rolls and mats

AquaTile

Our AquaTile Aquatic Flooring uses a solid surface design, rather than perforations, but it still yields a safe area that stands up to all safety requirements and industry standards.

Each EVA rubber polymer tile measures 2x2 feet and includes non-standard colors that will allow your water park, pool deck, or splash pad to stand out from the crowd. Chemical shock applications to the water or UV rays from the sun do not affect the color integrity of the tile. It requires a permanent glue-down installation.

Interlocking Tiles

Our interlocking tiles for pool surrounds are easy to install for permanent or temporary layouts. We offer designs with perforations to quickly drain away splashed water, as well as solid surface designs. Multiple colors are available in the slip-resistant PVC plastic and polypropylene plastic. PVC plastic feels softer underfoot, while polypropylene plastic tiles are extremely durable. Some specific models include:

• Ergo Matta Perforated Outdoor Tile with PVC plastic tiles measuring 10x20 inches
  
• Patio Outdoor Tile with perforated PVC plastic tiles measuring 12x12 inches
  
• StayLock Perforated Tile with PVC plastic tiles measuring 12x12 inches
  
• Herontile Wet Area Tile with perforated PVC plastic tiles measuring 13x13 inches

Aquatic Matting Q&A

What are the safest indoor waterpark floors?

The safest indoor waterpark floors are those that provide slip-resistance and comfort underfoot while preventing the formation of mold and mildew. It’s helpful if the pool flooring materials provide a fall-height rating to protect against hard falls around the pool.

What’s the best non-slip splash pad flooring?

The best non-slip splash pad flooring should provide good traction when wet for people with bare feet who are using it. Vinyl rolls, safety matting, and perforated tiles all provide excellent results when used around a splash pad.

What is the best shower flooring?

The best shower flooring should be easy to clean, slip-resistant, and perforated to allow water to flow away to the drains underneath. You should match the aquatic mat material you want to use with the planned location, as some materials work better for indoor showers than outdoor showers.

What’s the best flooring for a steam room?

The best flooring for a steam room should offer waterproof materials, slip-resistance, and comfort underneath bare feet. Having a perforated flooring will allow any standing moisture to flow away to the drain underneath. Tiles available in a variety of colors are especially helpful in creating an inviting atmosphere.

What should you look for in hot tub room flooring?

The best options for hot tub room flooring include those that provide slip resistance, that prevent the formation of bacteria, mold, and mildew, and that ensure fast drainage of any standing water. Colorful PVC plastic is a common flooring material to use around hot tubs.
