The risk of slipping and falling due to spilled liquids or debris in industrial situations can be greatly reduced by using slip-resistant matting. UK based manufacturer Plastic Extruders Ltd offers over 40 different designs of matting and flooring solutions.
Flexigrid and Firmagrip, both capable of being manufactured from post industrial recycled vinyl are strong, heavy duty solutions designed to be resistant to the toughest industrial environments. With their unique vinyl-welded construction, they quickly and efficiently drain and dissipate liquids through their open grid creating a safe, comfortable and slip-resistant surface for workers. Both mats are supplied in roll format up to 10m standard length and 1.2m width covering an impress 12sqm in one seamless piece. This gives the advantage of no seams and gaps which reduces the risk from tripping over joints and providing uniformity making the application more visually appealing.
Flexigrid is available in black and is designed for use in the heaviest industrial environments where the problems of dirt, production waste, chemicals, oils and other spillages can create major health & safety hazards. Its large open grid construction and 20mm clearance above ground level coupled with deeply etched top surface provides a safe, strong, slip-resistant barrier between user and spillages and debris. Furthermore, Flexigrid is comfortable to stand on reducing fatigue which in turn enhances concentration and productivity while reducing the risk of injury caused by tiredness and fatigue.
Firmagrip is also aimed at the industrial market and is available in red, green or black. It features a close mesh top surface making it ideal for areas where small wheeled traffic and trolleys are in use. The surface is dense enough to prevent small components falling through yet effective enough at drainage. Due to the close support of the grid, Firmagrip is popular for laying over metal grid walkways providing a comfortable and slip-resistant surface.
Both mats are available in a range of colours for added attraction and are extremely hard wearing. They will contour over rough and uneven surfaces and can be easily cut and shaped on site to fit snugly against machinery and equipment. A complementary range of edging profiles is also available to provide a safe transition between the matting and other areas of floor.
