What is the Best Flooring for a Workshop?
It depends on the workshop environment as to which workshop floor mats are best. In some workplaces, the mat will need to be fire-resistant for tasks such as welding, while other workshops might need holes to allow liquids or excess materials to run into.
Our knowledgeable team has over thirty years’ experience and will be happy to offer advice as to which workshop mat is most suitable.
Types of Workshop Mat
We have workshop floor mats to suit individuals who work at home in a garage or shed space, or are lucky enough to have their very own workshop, right through to blue chip organisations who need to order a bulk order of workshop mats.
Anti-Fatigue Mats
Anti-fatigue floor mats act as a cushion for the busy workplace to help reduce the fatigue caused by standing in the workplace for prolonged periods, especially on hard surfaces.
Anti Static Mats
Anti static mats are designed to dissipate static electricity. In some workplaces, simply working, walking, or even sitting can create static electricity. Left unchecked, static can discharge into static-sensitive equipment, potentially causing damage. Anti-static matting drains static from workers, preventing unpleasant static shocks and safeguarding equipment in the workplace.
Swarf Mats
Swarf matting enhances health and safety by collecting ‘swarf’ produced during machining and other manufacturing processes, preventing them from being a trip or slip hazard. Easy to clean at the end of a shift, any swarf such as wood chippings, metal filings, or plastic chips is also gathered up in the matting and kept from spreading elsewhere.
Safety Mats
Safety mats are any type of matting used in a workshop to increase safety. Perhaps at the entrance points, workshop rubber mats are used to prevent moisture from being brought into the workplace, or floor mats with a yellow border highlight the edge of a workspace. Anti slip mats and mats that are resistant to oil and grease can all be considered to be ‘workshop safety mats’.
