ERGONOMIC FLOOR MATTING SOLUTIONS

Q: What is anti-fatigue matting and who needs it?

Anti-fatigue matting is a specialised floor surface designed to reduce physical strain on workers who stand for long periods. It's used in manufacturing assembly lines, warehouse packing stations, inspection areas, pharmaceutical production floors, and retail environments — anywhere workers are on their feet for extended shifts.

Q: What matting is best for wet or drainage areas?

For wet environments — including areas where liquids, lubricants, or coolants are present — anti-microbial drainage tiles are the correct solution. These tiles feature 30% drainage and airflow per square foot, embed Ultra-Fresh Antimicrobial Technology, and provide anti-slip grip in environments where standard matting would become a hazard.

Safe-Flex are the Industry's Best Rated Anti-Fatigue Tiles

Sub-par matting does little to help their workers with anti-fatigue benefits.
They fall apart after a short time on the shop floor and become the exact trip hazard they need to eliminate.
As well, they cost more through lost time, lowered productivity, increased turnover and accidents.
Sub-par matting has to be replaced more often, requiring valuable investment in time and money.

frequently asked questions about SAFETY MATTING

What is anti-fatigue matting and who needs it?

Anti-fatigue matting is a specialized floor surface designed to reduce physical strain on workers who stand for long periods. It's used in manufacturing assembly lines, warehouse packing stations, inspection areas, pharmaceutical production floors, and retail environments, anywhere workers are on their feet for extended shifts.

What is the difference between anti-fatigue tiles and standard rubber mats?

Standard rubber mats compress and wear out quickly, often within 12 months, and provide limited ergonomic benefit. Anti-fatigue tiles like Safe-Flex use Compression Flex Technology, a patented dome structure that disperses weight evenly and returns energy to the standing worker, reducing fatigue and the risk of injury over time. They're also modular, so they configure around machines and structures without cutting.

What matting is best for wet or drainage areas?

For wet environments, including areas where liquids, lubricants, or coolants are present, anti-microbial drainage tiles are the correct solution. These tiles feature 30% drainage and airflow per square foot, embed Ultra-Fresh® Antimicrobial Technology, and provide anti-slip grip in environments where standard matting would become a hazard.

Can Safe-Flex tiles be configured around machines and equipment?

Yes. Safe-Flex tiles use a standard lug connection system that allows different tile types to interlock and be arranged around equipment, support columns, and workstations. Workstation kits are available in three sizes for the most common work area configurations.

Do you offer anti-static or ESD matting for electronics environments?

Yes. ESD (electrostatic discharge) tiles are available within the Safe-Flex system, providing anti-static protection for workers and sensitive equipment in electronics assembly, pharmaceutical, and precision manufacturing environments.
