When looking for the mats that are best suited to your facility, it’s essential to consider mats that are designed to function in the areas where they will be used. Using the right mats in the right area will help to maximize the longevity of the mat and ensure optimal performance.

For hotels or other facilities in the hospitality industry, there are a wide range of mats designed to perform a variety of functions, including providing a comfortable working area for personnel, protecting employees and guests from slips and falls, and providing a dynamic aesthetic. To help you find the mats that are right for you, here is a look at the most common areas in a hotel and an outline of the mats best suited to those areas.

Anti-Fatigue Mats Available from NoTrax

Food Processing Mats

Anti-fatigue mats intended for use in food processing applications are often designed with grease- and oil-resistant properties that maximize their performance and longevity in these environments. Food processing anti-fatigue mats—such as the Anti-Fatigue Mat Superfoam or the Red Drainage Anti-Fatigue Mat San-Eze—feature drainage holes that will help eliminate water, grease, and debris accumulation. Mats intended for use in outdoor entrance areas are designed to begin the scraping process. These mats often feature a durable construction that is designed for all-weather environments. Additionally, outdoor entrance mats typically utilize rigid bristles or rubber fingers that are designed to dislodge dirt and debris from the bottoms of shoes.

Mats intended for use in outdoor entrance areas can help to reduce slips and falls outside and inside a hotel facility. By capturing moisture before it enters the interior of a building, exterior entrance mats are the first line of defense in protecting guests and personnel from injuries resulting from accumulated moisture.

Drainage Mats

Anti-fatigue drainage mats will provide workers with a comfortable working platform while allowing liquids and debris to pass through large drainage holes. These mats are designed to keep employee work areas free of any obstructions that might cause injury or discomfort. Mats like the Drainage Anti-Fatigue Mat Safety Stance or the Drainage Anti-Fatigue Mat Sanitop also feature beveled edges to minimize trips and falls.

Fire-Resistant Mats

Most fire-resistant anti-fatigue mats from NoTrax are manufactured to comply with the DOC FF 1-70 federal flammability standard. Mats such as the Solid Fire Retardant Floor Mat Niru and the Fire Retardant Mat Niru Cushion-Ease are chemically treated to be slow-burning or self-extinguishing when exposed to an open flame.

Fire-resistant anti-fatigue mats are ideal for a variety of industries, including welding, metal and steel manufacturing, and scrapping. In addition to offering reliable fire resistance, these anti-fatigue mats will also provide workers with a comfortable working platform.

Oil-Resistant Mats

Oil-resistant anti-fatigue mats are designed to provide superior comfort to personnel in greasy or oily areas. These mats are ideal for restaurants or food processing areas where employees are required to stand for long periods of time. The Red Drainage Anti Slip Mat Tek-Tough and the Drainage Anti-Fatigue Mat Optimat feature an anti-microbial construction that will inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Dry Area Mats

 Anti-fatigue mats for dry areas are ideal for applications such as weight rooms, fitness areas, offices, or packaging areas. These mats are designed to provide lasting comfort even after prolonged use. The Heavy-Duty Workout Weight Room Mat will absorb the impact of heavy weights while protecting the floor from being damaged.

The Anti-Fatigue Mat Pebble Step Sof-Tred is another anti-fatigue mat that is suitable for dry areas. The Pebble Step Sof-Tred incorporates a Dyna-Shield top surface that provides extra protection in rugged environments.
