Anti-Fatigue Mat Floors
Anti-fatigue mats are solid surface rubber
mats designed to reduce fatigue and discomfort
for those who need to stand for extended
periods of time. They promote better posture
and circulation and help eliminate stress
on joints, feet and backs. The mats are suitable
for factories, retail shops, office buildings,
or home work areas. One piece mats are generally
sized 3 feet by 2 feet and come in ½ inch
and ¾ inch thicknesses. Some come as interlocking
pieces.
Look for the following when buying
ant-fatigue
mats:
- Mats should be made of 100% rubber that will
not shrink or curl at the edges.
- Mat surfaces should be non-skid to prevent
slipping accidents.
- Mats should be dark colored to avoid showing
dirt and wear. Black or brown
are the most
common, but colors such as
dark gray, green
or burgundy are also available.
- Mats should be lightweight, so they can easily
be moved to different work
areas. However,
most manufactures recommend
that these mats
should be used only over dry
floors.
