Anti Fatigue Matting
If you or your staff members stand for long periods of time, Anti Fatigue Mats can help to reduce the physical stress on the body, minimising the chance of getting aching legs and feet, back pain, and joint stiffness. Reducing the chances of these ailments can also help to reduce the risk of more serious medical problems such as varicose veins and lower limb disorders. These injuries are more likely to occur when staff members are required to stand on hard surfaces (e.g. concrete and hardwood floors) for prolonged periods.
Anti Fatigue Matting will reduce the risk of injury by providing a comfortable and supportive surface for staff to stand on. They can be installed in workshops, factories, and offices - wherever individuals are required to stand for longer.

Additional Information
At the heart of every successful industry lies a workforce whose health and well-being are valued. Ensuring worker comfort is paramount, and an effective solution for this is the use of anti fatigue mats. Not only do they offer immediate relief from hard floor surfaces, but they also increase worker productivity and reduce the risk of long-term health complications.
We have 4 variations of anti fatigue matting available, manufactured from materials that help to reduce fatigue; soft nylon, polypropylene, rubber, and foam rubber. Choose our soft nylon or polypropylene mats for light and medium-duty workspaces and our rubber mats for heavy-duty and industrial workspaces.
HOW DO ANTI FATIGUE MATS WORK?
When you or your staff are stood up for a long period, it’s natural for your joints to seize up and for you to be physically tired. When blood flow stagnates in the veins, it causes us to feel fatigued. Anti fatigue matting is designed to prevent this, providing comfort underfoot and encouraging the natural movement of the lower body by promoting blood circulation. The mats are cushioned to support the micro-movements in the leg and calf muscles, allowing you to distribute your weight evenly to reduce the strain. Not only does prolonged standing induce lower body pain, but it can also affect the lower and upper back and your overall posture. This is due to the imbalance of the body when some muscles end up working harder than others. The soft texture of our matting correctly balances the distribution between each leg, making it more comfortable to stand. These mats will ultimately result in a happier and more productive workplace.
A survey conducted by COBA Europe in 2018 illustrated the importance of anti fatigue mats in the workplace. Their ‘Standing at Work’ survey showed that people who invested in anti fatigue mats generally had better health and well-being. From the results, 68% considered the mats to have a positive effect on their well-being, and 86% found that the mats helped reduce body pain and supported those who already had serious health conditions. From these figures, we can see that anti fatigue mats have a positive effect in the workplace and helps boost the energy of all staff members.

Nylon Anti-fatigue Mats
Nylon mats are softer and more flexible compared to rubber. They are suitable for areas where workers need to stand for extended periods. Due to their cushioning effect, they help to alleviate foot discomfort and fatigue.
Polypropylene Anti-fatigue Mats
Polypropylene mats are the most economical option. They are resistant to chemicals and easy to clean, making them suitable for light to medium-duty environments.
