All About: Anti-Fatigue Matting

Anti-fatigue matting is designed to enhance comfort in the workplace, kitchen or anywhere you are required to be on your feet for extended periods of time. Without a cushioning mat in place, fatigue may cause discomfort, joint pains, and lower back pain. Furthermore, fatigue in the workplace reduces the productivity of employees which makes for a less productive work environment. Anti-fatigue mats are a great addition to any workplace or home and are available as solid rubber mats, drainage mats, and rubberized gel foam mats.

Solid Rubber Anti-Fatigue Mats

Made of reclaimed, recycled, or natural rubber variations, these mats are able to provide superior comfort and a non-slip surface. Solid rubber anti-fatigue mats are ideal for areas that do not experience excessive moisture. They guard against small amounts of water while retaining their grippy surface. However, large amounts of water pool on the surface of the mat. These are popular in industrial workplaces for assembly line workers and in stationary work stations as anti-fatigue matting.

Drainage Anti-Fatigue Mats

Drainage anti-fatigue mats feature numerous drainage holes covering the entirety of its surface. To create a safer work environment, these drainage holes allow moisture to drain out from the surface of the mat. This is a relatively thick mat that provides ample cushioning for those standing or walking across its surface. Drainage anti-fatigue mats are ideal for areas exposed to frequent spills, such as commercial restaurant kitchens.

Rubberized Gel Foam Mats

Rubberized gel foam mats are the ultimate choice for anti-fatigue comfort. The gel foam material of these mats creates a soft and lightweight mat that enhance comfort compared to rubber anti-fatigue mats. Due to the durable and grease-resistant rubberized gel foam material, this versatile mat can be used anywhere from kitchens to industrial workplaces. Some rubberized gel foam mats even come with drainage holes to promote a dry and non-slip surface.
