Stairways have a ubiquitous presence in all different kinds of buildings. Whether the area is residential, commercial, or industrial, chances are likely that stairs are located somewhere in the vicinity. Unfortunately, stairs happen to be very hazardous areas that bring the risk of potentially deadly slip-and-fall accidents. One way to help prevent such accidents from occurring is through the use of textured rubber stair mats, also known as treads. The “Diamond-Plate” stair treads act as slip resistant grips for stairs that keep people safe. These black rubber mats are very easy to install on steps and are available at affordable rates thanks to the recycled rubber materials used to make them.
Anti-Skid Treads: Thanks to the diamond-plated surface texture located on the surface of each step mat, people will experience a much higher level of traction and stability while going up and down their stairways. Rubber itself already comes with a high degree of grip, but this is only enhanced further by the surface texture on the stair mats. The surface texture consists of a series of slightly raised ridges that are mapped out in a pattern that increases the grip provided by the rubber.
Easy to Install: These black rubber mats are among the easiest-to-install products that we have available. Each step mat comes with an extended lip that grips onto the edge of the individual step it is placed on. The mats are generally capable of staying in place once on the step, but the option is available to adhere them with double-sided tape. Placing these stair mats on your steps is a quick, easy, DIY process that spares you the trouble of having to hire expensive third-party professional installers.
Affordable Eco-Friendly Solution: Despite their rugged industrial appearance, these anti-skid treads are actually an eco-friendly product. This is due to the fact that they are made of a mixture of natural and recycled rubber materials. The use of recycled rubber is important in terms of keeping the environment healthy because it is made from post-consumer vehicle tires. If they were not re-purposed for use in these stair mats, they would be rotting away in landfills. Since they use recycled rubber in their makeup, these grips for stairs are available at very affordable rates.
More Benefits:
Lightweight and easy to move
Protects surfaces of steps made of wood
Black rubber mats that can be used outdoors
Great aesthetic for use in commercial and industrial workplaces
Description:
Made with durable natural and recycled rubber materials, these step mats are perfect for adding traction to industrial and commercial stairways. They have a diamondplate surface texture that provides superior grip for feet on stairways. These easy-toinstall mats are perfect for stairways that need better safety.
A- An analysis of workers’ compensation injury claims from acute-care hospitals showed that the lower extremities (knees, ankles, feet) were the body parts most commonly injured and the nature of injury was most often sprains, strains, dislocations and tears. In addition, STFs were significantly more likely to result in fractures and multiple injuries than were other types of injuries.
B- Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries
C- In 2000, 46% of fatal falls were among older adults
D-Proper construction and maintenance of stairs and handrails (described in ANSI 2007, NFPA 2002, and below) can reduce hazards. Stairs that are poorly marked or uneven, as well as handrails that are not of the appropriate size, height, or are poorly maintained, can lead to missteps and can cause employees to trip and fall. Check that stair treads and nosing are slip resistant and extend the whole tread. This is especially important for outside stairs exposed to the elements or stairways exposed to wet conditions.
Eco-Friendly:
This is an affordable and ecologically conscious product due to the fact that it is made from both natural and recycled rubber materials.
Traction:
The surface texture of this mat provides excellent traction. The texture is made up of tiny slightly raised ridges that are aligned to maximize friction against feet. The diamond-patterned texture is ideal for improving traction in industrial pathways and stairs.
Safety:
The added traction from the diamond-patterned texture can increase safety bykeeping feet planted on the mat. This means that the likelihood of a slip-and-fall accident is decreased. These mats are great for improving the overall safety of a
stairway.
Industrial Design:
These rubber stair mats have a design aesthetic that is well suited for use in industrial areas. They also bring a more industrial appeal when placed in commercial areas as well.
Cleaning:
To clean these mats, simply use water and common household cleaners. We do not recommend the use of strong and caustic cleaning solutions like bleach.
