PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats

Wet floors create unnecessary safety risks. Whether you manage a swimming pool, changing room, workshop or industrial facility, the right anti-slip mat helps reduce the risk of slipping while creating a more comfortable walking surface.

Our PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats, also known in South Africa as S Mats, are designed for areas where water needs to drain away quickly. The open S-shaped structure allows water to flow through the mat instead of collecting on the surface, while the textured finish improves grip underfoot.

Manufactured from durable PVC, these mats are suitable for demanding environments where safety, hygiene, and easy maintenance are important. They are available in five colours and three standard lengths, making it easy to find a solution for both small and large projects.

Whether you are improving safety around a swimming pool or creating safer walkways inside an industrial facility, PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats provide a practical flooring solution that is built for everyday use.

Why Choose PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats?

Every wet floor presents a potential slip hazard. Choosing the right flooring helps create a safer environment for visitors, customers, and employees.

PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats combine effective drainage with reliable grip. Water flows through the open S-shaped structure instead of remaining on the walking surface, helping to reduce slippery conditions.

The flexible PVC construction also makes the mats easy to handle. Simply roll them into position, cut them to the required length if needed and clean them with minimal effort. Because the material is resistant to UV exposure, acids, alkalis, and many common cleaning chemicals, it performs well in both commercial and industrial environments.

From leisure facilities to factories, these mats provide a simple and effective way to improve safety without complicated installation or ongoing maintenance.

Where Can PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats Be Used?

PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats are suitable for any environment where wet floors create a slip hazard. Their combination of drainage and grip makes them a popular choice across both commercial and industrial sectors.

Swimming Pools

Swimming pools are one of the most common applications for PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats. Water constantly finds its way onto surrounding walkways, increasing the risk of slipping.

These mats allow water to drain away quickly while providing additional grip underfoot. They also remain comfortable to walk on barefoot, making them ideal for public pools, hotels, schools, and leisure facilities.

Changing Rooms

Changing rooms regularly deal with wet floors caused by showers and changing traffic. PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats help keep these areas safer by improving grip while allowing water to drain away efficiently.

Their comfortable surface also makes them a practical choice for barefoot areas.

Wellness Centres and Spa Facilities

Wellness facilities require flooring that combines comfort, hygiene, and safety. PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats help keep walkways dry while remaining easy to clean and pleasant to walk on.

Entertainment and Sports Venues

Large entertainment venues often experience heavy foot traffic, especially during events. Wet walkways can quickly become hazardous.

PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats help improve safety while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.

Workshops

Workshops frequently deal with water, cleaning processes, and changing weather conditions. Installing PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats improves grip in pedestrian areas and creates a safer working environment.

Factories

Factories require durable flooring solutions that support safe movement throughout the workplace.

PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats help reduce slip risks in areas where water or regular cleaning creates wet surfaces.

Warehouses

PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats are suitable for pedestrian walkways inside warehouses where additional grip is required.

For areas with frequent trolley, pallet jack, or forklift traffic, we recommend our Rubber Ring Mats for increased durability.

Selected Mining Applications

Although PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats are best known for leisure facilities, they are also used in selected mining and industrial environments.

Where safe pedestrian walkways, effective drainage, and easy maintenance are required, these mats provide a practical solution.

Compare Our Safety Mats

Every application has different requirements. Some environments require maximum slip resistance, while others benefit more from dirt removal or heavy-duty durability.

The table below compares the main characteristics of our three most popular safety mats, making it easier to choose the right product for your application.

* Ratings for swimming pools and barefoot comfort refer specifically to our 10 mm Rubber Ring Mat on Roll.

** For warehouse environments with frequent trolley, pallet jack, or forklift traffic, heavier-duty Rubber Ring Mats are generally recommended.

Choosing the right mat depends on your application.

• If your priority is preventing slips on wet floors, choose PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats.
• If your priority is removing dirt from footwear at entrances, choose Spaghetti Floor Mats
• If your priority is maximum durability in demanding industrial environments, choose Rubber Ring Mats.

For commercial kitchens, we generally recommend our Rubber Ramp Mats. Their bevelled edges help reduce trip hazards while providing excellent grip in busy food preparation areas.

Installation

PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats are quick to install. Simply roll the mat onto a clean, level surface and position it where additional grip is required.

If necessary, the mat can easily be cut to the required length using a sharp utility knife. For the best performance, ensure that water can drain freely beneath the mat.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Keeping your PVC Anti-Slip Floor Mats clean is simple.

Lift the mat regularly to remove any dirt that has collected underneath. Rinse with clean water or use a mild detergent when required. For heavily soiled areas, a pressure washer can also be used.

Regular cleaning keeps the drainage channels clear and helps maximise the lifespan of the mat.
