This is general product-selection guidance, not engineering advice. Confirm the final product and specification for the application.
Identify the hazard
Consider water, grease, dirt, fatigue, electrical exposure, trip edges and traffic volume.
Choose the format
Roll matting, loose mats and interlocking tiles solve different coverage and maintenance needs.
Check the users
Barefoot wet areas require a different surface from industrial footwear or wheeled traffic.
Measure the complete area
Provide width, length, recess depth and any edging or joining requirements.
