Workplace mats

Workplace mats are indispensable aids in industry, trade, commerce, catering and laboratories. They provide an ergonomic surface for standing, reduce fatigue and lower the risk of workplace accidents.

High-quality rubber mats are robust, chemical-resistant, temperature-resistant and individually adaptable. They protect both the floor and machinery and relieve the body, which permanently increases productivity and safety.

Installation is straightforward, and regular cleaning extends the service life. Mats are available in standard sizes or as custom-made solutions. Special versions as anti-fatigue mats, anti-slip mats or for extreme conditions offer additional functionality. This makes every workplace mat an economical investment in comfort, safety and efficient workflows.

Workplace mats made of polyurethane

The classic with optimum standing comfort for dry workplaces.

Workplace mats made of rubber

Extremely robust and slip-resistant for tough conditions.

Workplace mats made of soft PVC foam

The inexpensive alternative as roll goods.

Construction and materials of workplace mats

Workplace mats are made from robust materials such as rubber, polyurethane or PVC. These materials offer optimum cushioning and are resistant to mechanical stress, chemicals and high temperatures. The structured surface increases slip resistance and ensures a secure footing under all working conditions.

Advantages of workplace mats

Ergonomics and comfort

The padded surface reduces pressure on feet, legs and back. This counteracts fatigue, increases well-being and supports productivity at standing workplaces.

Safety and slip resistance

Slip-resistant surfaces minimise the risk of slipping and falling, especially in areas with liquids or oil. The mats stay firmly in place and create a safe working environment.

Durability and load capacity

High-quality materials and robust construction make the mats extremely resistant. They are abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant and temperature-resistant, so they can be used reliably in industrial, commercial and sensitive working areas.

Areas of application

Workplace mats are used in production halls, workshops, warehouses, laboratories, cleanrooms, catering and retail. They offer comfort, protect equipment and floors and reduce workplace accidents.

Installation and care

The mats can easily be laid on almost any substrate. Regular sweeping or rinsing with water is sufficient for cleaning. In case of heavy soiling, mild cleaning agents can be used.

Our product range

Our range includes anti-fatigue mats, antistatic mats and variants with special surface structures. Tailor-made cut pieces are available on request to optimally meet individual requirements.

Technical data of workplace mats

Materials

Workplace mats are made from robust materials such as rubber (natural rubber or SBR), polyurethane (PU/PUR), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or nitrile rubber for oil-resistant applications. High-quality mats can have antistatic properties and be chemical-resistant.

Dimensions and weight

Standard sizes are 60 × 90 cm, 90 × 150 cm and 120 × 180 cm, with thicknesses from 6 to 25 mm. Custom sizes are possible. The weight is typically between 2 and 8 kg/m², depending on material and thickness.

Temperature and slip resistance

The temperature resistance ranges from -20 °C to +80 °C, special models up to 200 °C. Slip resistance is classified according to DIN 51130 with R10 to R13.

Chemical resistance

Many mats are resistant to oils, greases, acids and alkalis. Special antistatic mats are suitable for ESD-sensitive working areas.

Cushioning and load capacity

The compression modulus is between 0.2 and 1.0 N/mm², the restoring force is high to very high, which improves ergonomics at the workplace.

Fire behaviour and surfaces

Some models meet fire class Bfl-S1 according to EN 13501-1. The surfaces are optionally studded, grooved, with a diamond pattern or smooth. Bevelled edges reduce tripping hazards.

Service life

The service life is 3 to 10 years depending on stress and care.

Synonyms and alternative designations

Workplace mats are also referred to as anti-fatigue mats, standing mats, ergonomic mats, floor mats, safety mats, industrial mats, anti-slip mats, cushioning mats, anti-vibration mats or work platform mats. These terms reflect the versatile use and the specific properties of the mats.

Anti-slip mats – safety and functionality for industry and trade

Anti-slip mats are specially designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments. They provide a secure grip, protect employees and machinery and remain reliably functional even under extreme conditions.

Essential properties

• Maximum slip resistance: Special surface structures and materials ensure a secure footing, even with moisture, oil or smooth floors.
• Robustness and durability: Hard-wearing materials such as rubber, PVC or special polymers withstand abrasion, chemicals and mechanical loads.
• Load capacity and compressive strength: Suitable for areas with heavy foot and vehicle traffic as well as under heavy machinery, without loss of shape or wear.
• Protection of people and material: Reduce accident risks and absorb impacts to protect machinery and equipment.
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to oils, greases, acids and alkalis, which maintains functionality in the long term.
• Adaptability: Can be flexibly cut to size for different surfaces and quick installation without time-consuming modifications.
• Temperature resistance: High-quality materials retain elasticity and slip resistance at extreme temperatures.
• Economy: Durable and low-maintenance, reducing long-term costs for replacement, maintenance and safety measures.
• Industrial standards: Certifications according to DIN standards for slip resistance ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

Through these properties, anti-slip mats in industry and trade offer a safe, durable and economical solution for working areas with high requirements.

Frequently asked questions about workplace mats
