Slip-Stop Anti Fatigue Matting
Commercial anti-fatigue matting is an absolute must for any serious kitchen or hospitality venue in the UK. These hard-working floor mats combine slip resistance with ergonomic support—keeping your team comfortable during long shifts while dramatically reducing slip hazards in wet areas. With drainage holes and raised patterns designed specifically for professional environments, they're lightyears beyond basic household mats. After 50 years kitting out kitchens, we've seen how proper non-slip kitchen matting prevents accidents, reduces staff fatigue, and helps meet health and safety requirements. They pair brilliantly with commercial dishwashers and prep stations where water splashes are inevitable—creating safer, more productive workspaces!

How Slip-Stop Anti-Fatigue Matting Works
Ever wondered how these mats handle the chaos of a commercial kitchen? The science is brilliant. The rubber or PVC compounds create a cushioned surface that absorbs shock as staff move about—reducing pressure on joints and muscles during long shifts. Meanwhile, the textured top surface provides grip even when wet, while clever drainage holes allow spills to flow through rather than creating puddles. The raised pattern creates friction between shoe and mat, dramatically reducing slip potential. The rubber compounds are engineered to withstand grease, oils and cleaning chemicals common in hospitality environments—creating a safer, more comfortable foundation for your busy team!

Top Tips for Using Slip-Stop Anti-Fatigue Matting
For maximum benefit, position mats in high-traffic areas where staff stand for extended periods—prep stations, dishwashing areas, and cooking lines are prime spots. Clean regularly by hosing down or running smaller mats through dishwashers to remove grease buildup. Check undersides weekly for proper drainage and to remove trapped food particles. Rotate mats periodically to ensure even wear, and consider dedicated cleaning solutions for stubborn stains rather than harsh chemicals that might degrade the material.
Benefits of Using Slip-Stop Anti-Fatigue Matting
- Extended Comfort Staff can stand longer without discomfort—improves shift endurance.
- Injury Prevention Reduces slip accidents and joint strain—fewer staff absences.
- Cost Savings Prevents costly compensation claims—protects your business.
