Non Slip Flooring

Options for Non Slip Flooring

When you need to select flooring to create a safe atmosphere at a residential pool, a commercial kitchen, or an industrial work area, you should pay attention to the likelihood of moisture causing slick conditions. In these damp areas, non slip flooring is the best choice.

At Greatmats, we have numerous options for slip resistant flooring. Our products often have a grippy surface material, raised texture surfaces, and perforations that allow water to drain away. Hard flooring, like vinyl or concrete, can become slippery when wet. You can improve the safety of any space by installing the non skid, high grip surface flooring materials that we offer. Because of the many options we have at Greatmats, we can help you find the perfect material.

Types of Non Slip Mats

One of the key decisions to make with waterproof and slip proof commercial floor mats is the size of the coverage area and the type of flooring configuration.

• Perforated Matting Rolls: Perforated rolls often are a few feet in width and 30 or more feet in length, providing a safe walkway surface for use along an industry assembly line or near a pool.
  
• Vinyl Rolls: We offer numerous vinyl rolls made to cover extremely large areas, such as an entire room in a warehouse, the flooring of a boat, or a factory workspace.
  
• Tiles: When you need to create a certain coverage space, use interlocking non slip tiles to easily set up the exact coverage that you want.
  
• Mats: We offer many different sizes of pre-cut mats, usually made for one person to stand and work in front of a food prep area, a workstation in a factory, or a dishwashing station where liquid spills could make the space slippery.

Features and Benefits of Non Slip Flooring

The slip proof flooring that we offer at Greatmats offers numerous benefits and features that help you avoid dangerous falls, while also delivering a good value.

• Waterproof: Our flooring products will not absorb moisture or become waterlogged.
  
• Drainage: Many of these flooring options have perforations that allow excess water to drain away.
  
• Materials: Some products use rubber mats, PVC plastic mats, and other non slip materials.
  
• Texture: The surface of the slip resistant floors may have a raised pattern or grit to add extra traction.
  
• Comfort: In areas where people need non slip floors and may be walking in bare feet (such as near a pool) or standing for long periods of time, non slip flooring mats should offer comfort and anti fatigue properties, too.
  
• UV Resistance: If you are using these mats outdoors, having UV resistance allows the floors to avoid fading in direct sunlight, providing a longer lifespan.
  
• Design: We offer multiple colors in these flooring products for areas where the design is important.
  
• DIY Installation: Many of our non slip products offer an easy DIY installation option, so you can save money versus hiring a professional installer.
