Our rubber drainage mats can be used in a wide variety of applications that call for a safe, traction surface to stand and/or walk on. Some applications include locker rooms, saunas, steam rooms, indoor and outdoor showers, wet assembly lines…the possibilities are endless!

Our Safe-Grip drainage mats are great at increasing traction and draining water and other fluids. This product is available in single finished mats, rolls, or custom lengths up to 50 feet! The textured surface of this rubber drainage mat allows great traction and the elevated knob design creates channels that allow water and other liquids to pass through. The raised knobs on this mat also offer great scraping action to remove dirt, mud, and any other debris from feet. This drainage mat also has small holes that allow water and liquids to pass through, allowing the mat to stay as dry as possible. This mat is ideal locker rooms, pools, aisle ways, entryways, wet areas, and anywhere that requires an adequate drainage mat to increase safety and comfort.
The 3/8 inch Paw-Grip is another great rubber drainage mat. The design of this mat greatly increases traction while providing great drainage properties. This mat features a cobblestone surface texture that is very comfortable to stand on and helps increase grip in wet environments. A great use for this mat is in locker rooms, pools, spas, saunas, and any other wet environments where safety is a concern. Another great feature of this mat are the drainage holes which allow liquids to pass through with ease. The elevated design of this mat also aids in this process. The underside of this mat has a raised knob pattern that elevates the mat, which creates channels that allow water to pass through and move freely underneath the mat. This feature allows the user’s feet to stay elevated above any liquids and dry as possible, increasing overall safety. Since this rubber drainage mat is made from 100% Nitrile, it has excellent oil and grease resistance which makes it ideal for commercial kitchens that require a grease resistant mat.
For heavy duty applications that experience wet and slippery conditions, our Dura-Chef mats are the answer! These rubber drainage mats are available in 3 different types – 2 finished mats and one interlocking version! If looking for a single rubber drainage mat with beveled edges, our Dura-Chef (1/2") mat would be a great product. This mat is an affordable option for smaller institutions that require a cost effective solution for wet environments. The honeycombed design of this mat allows liquids to pass through and keep feet elevated, ensuring great traction and reducing the risk of slips and falls. The beveled edge on this mat also allows access to wheeled equipment, making it a great choice for cafes and delis! The 7/8” Dura-Chef offers excellent traction and offers great anti fatigue properties. This mat is great for dish rooms, kitchens, assembly lines, workstations, and any other wet environments. If your application calls for a long runner, our Dura-Chef interlock is the ultimate in rubber drainage mats! This mat can be connected lengthwise indefinitely to create a long runner! The drainage holes on this mat also allow water to pass through which increases safety and comfort simultaneously. This rubber drainage mat is ideal for car washes, locker rooms, wet aisle ways, showers, and any other applications that require a comfortable and safe surface to stand on.
