Kitchens are common part of life. They are found in every household. They are the beating heart behind every restaurant you have ever been to. It is safe to say that a lot of people spend most of their day in their kitchens. To make your kitchen area as safe and comfortable as possible, it is a good idea to get rubber mats for the kitchen. Rubber kitchen matting will help to keep you comfortable on your feet while you are cooking your next gourmet meal, and it will also help keep you safe and stable in case things around the kitchen get a bit wet and messy.

Never underestimate the dangers posed by slippery kitchen floors. Usually, a kitchen floor is made of surfacing materials such as wood, tile, or laminate. While these surfaces may look pretty and may seem sufficient as flooring, they are quite slippery when wet. Anyone who has cooked a meal in a kitchen, regardless if it was in a home or commercial setting, will know that loose liquids tend to spill on the floors on a regular basis. According to the Houston Chronicle, slip-related accidents are among the most common types of accidents in kitchen areas. In 2010, the number of such accidents had increased by 4%. The causes of these accidents are usually floors that are slippery from water, oils, and other liquids (http://smallbusiness.chron.com/kitchen-hazards-kitchen-safety-40195.html).

Mats for the kitchen area will come in handy when your kitchen floors are slippery. Kitchen matting made of rubber is very ideal for such conditions. The secret behind this lies within the rubber material itself. Rubber is naturally resistant to moisture by itself. It prohibits water from developing harmful microbial byproducts on its surface. Mold and mildew are often the most common types of offenders in some flooring materials, but they pose no threat on rubber. Rubber chef mats do not give them any room to form. Beyond that, however, rubber possesses a very high level of friction. This friction allows rubber kitchen matting to give a superior amount of grip to both your feet and the floors they are laid over. You will be safer and more stable while standing on rubber mats. This feature applies to them even when they are wet.

Some rubber mats for the kitchen are better suited to handling moisture than others. While they still tend to possess the same general level of resistance to moisture, some chef mats come with specially designed surfaces that act as drainage channels. These drainage mats have holes that allow liquids of all kinds to pass through. They can even filter through solid particles that are small enough to fit through the holes. This helps to keep the surface of the mat clean and dry for you while you stand on it. The drainage capabilities of these types of mats for the kitchen combine with rubber’s natural traction levels to make a great safety product for your kitchen area.

Of the various different types of liquids that have a regular presence in kitchens, only water has been discussed in detail. What about other liquids like oils and greases? Some mats for the kitchen are made of synthetic nitrile rubber. The benefit of having nitrile kitchen matting lies within its natural ability to resist oils and greases. This type of rubber is widely used in various applications because of this excellent property. Nitrile drainage mats will drain oils and greases through with ease whereas regular or recycled rubbers will suffer a bit of degradation.

“Kitchen Mat” Grease-Resistant Rubber Mat

  • Can be cleaned in a dishwasher
  • Nitrile rubber can also resist chemicals
  • Comes with beveled edges that allows easy access for wheeled equipment
  • Perfect to use as a kitchen chef mat, bar mats, restaurant runners, poolside mats, locker room mats, and even as industrial mats

Best Safety Mats: When you buy these rubber mats, you are buying safety. Their safety applications are twofold. The first is most obvious, which is the way they drain liquids. That will make the surface of the mats less slippery. The other way they increase safety for you is due to the raised pill-shaped design that surrounds the drainage holes. This design enhances traction and will make sure that everyone who steps on the mat will remain safe.

Resists Grease: This rubber mat has the benefit of being made from nitrile rubber. Nitrile rubber was designed to be grease-resistant from the beginning, with the first nitrile material coming onto the market after World War I. This property makes them even better safety mats. So not only do the drainage holes let the grease seep through, the nitrile material will prevent the mats from being damaged by it.

In addition to providing safety, rubber mats for the kitchen can also provide comfort. Anyone who has cooked a meal or worked in a commercial restaurant’s kitchen knows that after standing in place for a while, the feet will get tired. The discomfort in the feet will eventually spread upwards into the lower back. This can affect attention, productivity, and safety. Some kitchen matting is designed for comfort. They are soft to stand on and can even provide a bit of bounce. Comfort mats for the kitchen can help to relieve the pressure that builds up around the soles, ankles, joints, and back. At the end of the day, chef mats can help keep the chef happy and comfortable!

No kitchen should go without the proper kind of protective rubber matting. The safety and comfort benefits that these mats bring to the area are hard to beat. Rubber provides for a comfortable surface for people to stand on. Mats for the kitchen are also very helpful in keeping things clean and easy to manage by resisting the damaging effects of liquids. This is especially true of drainage mats. If you spend a lot of time in your kitchen, then be sure to invest in rubber kitchen mats!
