Studded mats

Studded mats are robust floor coverings made of rubber with a raised stud structure. The surface supports sure-footedness, drainage and a stable footing in areas subject to heavy use.

Typical places of use are industry, workshops, warehouses, production and entrance areas. For classification within the range, you will find additional variants and areas of use on the rubber mats page.

Depending on the version, studded mats are suitable for dry surfaces as well as for environments with moisture or dirt ingress.

Studded mat by the metre

A studded mat by the metre is suitable for surfaces where length and width can be planned flexibly. You receive continuous roll goods and can determine the dimensions to suit the installation situation.

For precisely fitting edges, cut-outs or contours, a cut to size is advisable. You will find details on this on the rubber cut to size page.

Typical advantages in practice

• Flexible surface coverage for long walkways, work zones or transitions
• Plannable material quantity via running metres and roll width
• Suitable layout for small partial areas as well as larger areas
• Clean adaptation to fixtures, posts, machine feet or edges

Metre goods support economical material planning, because you determine the required quantity based on the area. You will find a decision-making aid for selection under When is metre goods worthwhile.

Construction and materials

Studded mats consist predominantly of resistant rubber or PVC and are therefore often also referred to as rubber mats. The surface is provided with evenly arranged, raised studs. This structure ensures a grippy surface and at the same time supports slight cushioning when walking.

Depending on the version, studded mats are available in different thicknesses and formats. As a result, they can be specifically adapted to the mechanical and ergonomic requirements of the respective area of use. You will find a systematic overview of comparable products in the rubber mats section.

Advantages of studded mats

Slip resistance and safety

The pronounced stud structure significantly improves sure-footedness. Even with moisture, dirt or dust, the surface remains grippy. Studded mats are therefore particularly suitable for heavily frequented areas such as entrances, production areas or traffic routes.

Comfort and ergonomics

The elastic material properties create a cushioning effect. This relieves joints and muscles during standing or walking activities and supports ergonomic working conditions in zones of continuous load.

Robustness and durability

Studded mats are designed for high mechanical stress. They show good resistance to abrasion, many chemicals and changing temperatures. Dimensional stability and function are retained even under intensive use.

Easy cleaning and care

The structured surface supports the drainage of liquids and dirt. Depending on the degree of soiling, cleaning is carried out by sweeping, hosing down or wet cleaning with mild cleaning agents.

Areas of application

Industrial use

In production halls, workshops and at machine workstations, studded mats improve stability and reduce slip risks. At the same time, they help to relieve strain during longer standing times.

Commercial and public facilities

In sales areas, office buildings and public areas, studded mats are frequently used in entrances, corridors or stair areas in order to increase safety and protect floor surfaces.

Vehicle construction and transport

In vehicle and trailer construction, studded mats serve as anti-slip floor covering on load areas and interior floors. They reduce the slipping of cargo and protect the substrate.

Leisure and sport

Studded mats are also used in sports and leisure facilities, for example in changing rooms, training areas or wet zones with increased requirements for sure-footedness.

Installation and maintenance

Studded mats can be laid without extensive preparation. They can be cut to size and adapted to structural conditions. Due to their own weight and the structured underside, they lie stably.

The maintenance effort is limited to regular cleaning in order to remove deposits and permanently retain the anti-slip properties.

Our studded mats

The range comprises studded mats in different materials, thicknesses and formats for various areas of use. For flexible surface solutions, variants as a studded mat by the metre are available.

Why studded mats are suitable for industry and commerce

Studded mats fulfil key requirements of industrial and commercial areas of use. They combine safety, load-bearing capacity and functional comfort in a permanently usable floor solution.

Slip resistance and occupational safety

The raised stud structure ensures high slip resistance, even with moisture, oil or dirt. As a result, the risk of accidents decreases in work areas with increased traffic or changing floor conditions.

High mechanical load-bearing capacity

Studded mats are manufactured from resistant materials such as natural rubber, PVC or NBR. These materials are designed for permanent stress and show high resistance to abrasion, chemicals and temperature fluctuations.

Ergonomic relief

The elastic surface has a cushioning effect and reduces localised loads when standing or walking. This supports ergonomic workplaces and helps to relieve joints and muscles.

Broad range of applications

Studded mats are suitable for production areas, workshops, storage areas, traffic routes, entrance areas as well as for vehicle floors and stairs. Different material and format variants enable an application-appropriate selection.

Easy-care surface

The structured surface supports the drainage of liquids and facilitates cleaning. Dirt and contamination can be removed by sweeping, hosing down or wet cleaning.

Flexible adaptation

Studded mats can be cut to size and adapted to structural conditions. As a result, they are suitable both for large-area laying and for selective applications at workstations or transitions.

Sound-reducing effect

In noise-intensive environments, studded mats reduce impact sound and noise from falling objects. This improves working conditions in production and assembly areas.

Economical use

The long service life, the low maintenance effort and the protection of the substrate lead to an economical overall solution. At the same time, studded mats support safety and ergonomics in ongoing operation.
