Slip-Resistant Pool Matting - PEM
Slip resistant pool matting is the perfect solution to provide additional comfort and protection around any swimming area decking. The porous spaghetti looped design allows water to drain quickly and provides additional underfoot traction helping to reduce slips and falls on wet surfaces.
These mats are constructed our of durable lightweight thermoplastic and can be used for indoor or outdoor applications.
Each quarter inch thick mat is available in 3 colors: Blue, Grey, and Sandstone. The thicker 3/8" matting offers other the following colors in addition: Black, Hunter Green, and Chocolate Brown
How much do anti slip mats for wet areas cost?
Our Thermo Plastic porous matting can range in price from $95 to $1,200 per mat depending on the style and dimensions you require. There are 3 primary types of PEM mats: Lightweight 1/4", Heavy Traffice 3/8", and High Friction which provides a gritty Aluminum Oxide surface coating for advanced traction and superior
slip resistance.
Where can I buy non slip matting?
Pool Mats and non slip matting can be purchased through a local distributor in your area, assuming there is product availability in that region. They can also be acquired directly through a national distributor such as www.mymaterialwarehouse.com that has the full line of slip resistant matting and the ability to ship directly to your location or job-site.
Why use slip resistant matting?
A few stats
- Over 800,000 people each year are hospitalized from falls according to the CDC
- Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- A UK Study found that Slipperiness or slipping were found to contribute to between 40 and 50% of fall-related occupational injuries
Reducing the slipperiness of walking surfaces at increased risk of falls is beneficial to everyone. Areas such as pool-side decking, aquatic centers, bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers are all potential areas where a higher incidence of slip and fall injuries occur.
These locations benefit from Poly Extruded Matting that is soft enough for bare feet to walk on and that drains water providing a stable walking surface when wet.
High-Traffic Outdoor Area
Golf Courses and Country Clubs are other common recreational places where outdoor walkways and pedestrian crossings can become slippery with the elements. In particular bridges, steps, and walkways get slick with wet or freezing weather and pose unintentional falling injury risks to patrons.
By reinforcing slick pedestrian walkways with slip-resistant high-traffic matting facility management can foster a safe environment and help thwart injury and potential liability.
