Flooring for Wet Areas

Options for Flooring for Wet Areas

In areas around pools, hot tubs, locker rooms, and saunas, the flooring needs to meet several criteria to be useful. It must stand up to tough, damp conditions without breaking down. It needs to offer non-skid traction, keeping people safe. It cannot absorb water. And it needs to resist the formation of mold and mildew. At Greatmats, we know that PVC plastic tiles, matting, and rolls deliver the best flooring for wet areas. Don’t spend another minute at the pool walking – or, if you’re a kid, running – on wet concrete in bare feet, risking a dangerous fall. Our residential and commercial flooring for wet areas makes these areas far safer, letting you focus on the fun!

Types of Wet Room Flooring

At Greatmats, you can focus on three different formats for our wet room flooring products.

Mats

In heavy foot traffic areas where dampness is common, our mats represent a popular choice. This non-slip flooring for wet areas is thicker and more durable than tiles or rolls, delivering the longest-lasting material. They’re pre-cut to fit a certain area, such as 3x5 feet. Many customers use our wet area floor mats in kitchens or in spaces where people directly climb in and out of the pool or hot tub.

Tiles

Our interlocking tiles are ideal for creating a custom coverage size. Just add more anti-slip flooring tiles until you cover the desired space. Many of these tiles consist of PVC plastic that can stand up to weather or sunlight. Some of our non-slip floor tiles for a wet room are specifically made for the entrances of buildings, preventing people from slipping when they have wet shoes after walking outdoors.

Matting Rolls

PVC plastic matting rolls are a great way to cover a long walkway near a hot tub or in a locker room. This is a smart pool room flooring, too, as you can lay the roll around the perimeter of the pool. Some people use these non-skid rolls in areas where people must stand in line outdoors on rainy days.
