Which anti-fatigue matting is right for your workplace?

Choosing the Right Anti-Fatigue Matting

The right anti-fatigue matting creates a safe, comfortable, and productive workplace. If you’re exploring options, start by browsing our full range of industrial floor mats to see what best fits your space.

Assessing Your Workplace Needs

Start by considering the mat’s intended location and your employees’ needs. Evaluate whether it’s a light-duty commercial space, a heavy-use industrial environment, or an area exposed to oils and chemicals. Matching the mat to these conditions will help maximise comfort and safety.

Light-Duty and Budget-Friendly Options

Vinyl Anti-Fatigue Mats

For lighter-duty areas like checkouts, reception desks, or packing stations, vinyl mats are a cost-effective choice. The Kumfi Pebble anti-fatigue mat provides affordable comfort and reliable cushioning.

Basic Coverage

For general use or budget-conscious settings, the Rubber Rib Mat offers straightforward coverage with slip resistance and underfoot comfort.

Medium-Duty and High Traffic Areas

Workstations with higher footfall or longer standing periods need mats with more durability and slip resistance. The Kumfi Diamond mat is ideal, combining fatigue relief with a diamond-plate surface for added grip and long-term performance.

Wet or Oily Environments

Drainage Mats

If your workplace is prone to water or liquid spills, choose mats with an open top for drainage. Workzone Duckboard mats allow liquids to drain quickly while maintaining a safe surface underfoot.

Oil-Resistant Mats

For oily or greasy industrial settings, the Workzone 75% Nitrile oil-resistant mat combines anti-fatigue benefits with outstanding resistance to oils and chemicals.

Modular and Customisable Systems

Large or irregularly shaped spaces benefit from modular systems that can be configured as needed. The Cushion Link Solid Top Nitrile mats provide durability and chemical resistance, while the Cushion Link Open Top mats allow for drainage in wet or swarf-prone environments.

Specialist Considerations

In areas exposed to welding or high heat, select mats made from materials like nitrile or PVC for durability and resistance. For environments where static electricity is a concern, opt for mats with anti-static properties to maintain workplace safety.

Understanding the specific environment and your team’s needs will help you narrow down the best mat options. If you’re still unsure, explore our complete industrial floor matting collection to find the right fit for your business.
