Wet-area walkway mats: compare construction and use
Wet-area walkway matting should be selected for its intended location, surface arrangement and maintenance. A loop mat or entrance mat should not be assumed to serve the same function.
Selection considerations
Identify whether the area is a changing room, pool approach or another wet route. Record water exposure, drainage and the supporting floor. Ask for relevant slip-performance information and its test conditions where the project requires it.
Check edge treatment, connections and how the mat is secured or removed for cleaning. Keep the floor underneath accessible to the maintenance team. Do not present an open mat surface as a substitute for the floor's drainage or waterproofing detail. Order the selected construction by code and dimensions rather than by a general wet-area description.
Before you specify or order
- Describe the wet-use environment
- Review edge restraint and connections
- Confirm cleaning beneath the mat
