The Benefits of Using Interlocking Rubber Mats

When it comes to choosing the right floor covering for your operations, the options can be dizzying. With so many types of rubber matting, carpet, and other floor coverings available, it’s important to know how each type works. From entrance matting to food service tiles, at NoTrax®, we know each mat does a specific job.

Of the many types of rubber matting available – drainage, custom seamless, anti-fatigue – we’re going to focus on our interlocking tile systems.

Interlocking Rubber Mats for All Environments

Work environments and conditions are rarely consistent across the board and can go through many changes over time. Interlocking rubber mats, like DeFlex® and the Cushion-Ease® offer easy custom solutions to manufacturing or other industrial workspaces.

When planning for a new matting system, try to be well-rounded. Consider items such as drainage needs, how heavily trafficked the area is, floor transitions, sanitation needs, and employee or user health requirements. The systems can be configured to fit around workstations and machinery and are reconfigurable and expandable as your company needs change.

Interlocking rubber mats aren’t just confined to industrial or manufacturing workspaces. Professional kitchens and food processors use modular floor systems, as well. The grease resistant, easy-to-clean, San-Eze® and Ultramat® lines offer increased safety by improving shoe grip in the wet, greasy environments often found in restaurant kitchens, food processing, and professional food manufacturing facilities.
 

Additional Benefits of Interlocking Mat Systems

As you explore your tile mat options you’ll notice the customization options interlocking rubber mats offer – there is no minimum or maximum space requirement to use the systems. 

Easy Installation

NoTrax interlocking mats systems, like the DeFlex have a universal locking system with no male/female connections. The universal locking system makes planning easier, installation quicker, and replacement more efficient.

Easy Replacement

Wear and tear happens, but not all areas of a mat erode at the same rate. You’ll notice this on workstation mats especially, the areas where the user travels back-and-forth performing a task will tend to wear faster than other areas. With interlocking mats, as parts of your mat wear down you can swap them out with fresh tiles.

Reduced Trips & Slips

The modular design offers increased safety by improving grip and reducing trip hazards. The interlocking tiles are also made from non-slip rubber and feature beveled ramps which help create a more fluid floor to mat transition.

Customization Options

Transitional workspaces are common in industrial and commercial operations. NoTrax modular tiles allow you to use various types of mats – anti-slip, anti-fatigue, drainage – to create a uniform mat system that works best for your operation. 

Ready. Set. Plan.

Understanding how interlocking rubber mats work is just the first step to finding your perfect floor covering. Now, you can begin planning for floors that will best serve you, your employees, and your business goals for years to come.
