When it comes to industrial settings, efficiency and effectiveness will take precedent over nearly everything else, and there’s a good reason for this. Within an industrial setting—whether it is the extraction of raw materials, the creation of goods from those materials, or the management of people and ideas—the most important factor is that of the continual momentum that drives business forward. If something hinders your business, then a solution must be found to either subdue the problem or get rid of it. However, this particular school of thought is not unique to business owners. Even personal pursuits that require an industrial setting (such as mechanical work, some artistic endeavors, home renovation, boating, residential or commercial fitness, etc.) can benefit from the determination of creating and maintaining a proper work atmosphere. One area that will often go ignored in these heavy-duty locations is the flooring structure. Putting down a cold and hard concrete surface seems like enough to ensure a heavy-duty work environment—but an industrial setting needs more. Rubberized coin flooring offers a modern design that will work with aesthetic sensibilities while also bringing to the table all the benefits of a studded rubber floor. When you think of industrial floor matting, your first thought doesn’t tend to focus on visual applications—rather, you may care more about ensuring that your industrial rubber floor mats are actually working efficiently and effectively. A rubber coin-grip surface is unique in that it can offer a solution to both these issues by introducing a mild contemporary design and all the fantastic protective, economical, and functional attributes of rubber.
“Coin-Grip” Rolls PVC Flooring
Gone are the days of muted designs and dangerous flooring structures! Check out these 6 reasons why rubberized coin flooring may be the best fit for your industrial setting, workshop, art studio, or any other work-type environment.
A Visually Stimulating Option
Factory, workshops, and gallery type settings are often portrayed as these dark and gray locations that lack any sort of distinguishable features. Regardless of what your particular business, factory, or workshop is creating, repairing, or offering—industrial floor matting doesn’t have to be boring or featureless. A classic design that is often employed is that of the raised diamond plate, a well-known pattern that can often be found in old-school American garages. But there’s something definitely dated about the classic diamond design. Coin grip surfacing, on the other hand, offers a modern pattern of coin-shaped protrusions that make for an interesting visual point without overwhelming the senses. The conformity of the raised circles adds a neat visual consistency that does well as it stretches outward throughout the area of an open room or even when confined to smaller spaces.
Safety Surfacing
More than just aesthetics, the coin-shaped design of these industrial rubber floor mats provides added traction and grip to the already high coefficient of friction offered by rubber. With traction, grip, and friction on your side you can help ensure that your heavy-duty flooring structures are safer for employees, customers, and visitors especially when moisture is present. Slip-and-fall accidents can be devastating to both individuals as well as business and industries and so it’s better to protect against such accidents than to lament about them later.
“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.
Subfloor Protection
Concrete is strong and resilient but susceptible to chipping and cracking. Rubberized coin flooring will do a lot more than just add aesthetic appeal and slip-and-fall resistance. The tough and resilient material of this flooring option will allow it to behave as a barrier between your subfloors and any heavy equipment, foot-traffic, and dropped items that could potentially pose a threat to flooring structures.
A Long Lasting Product
Coin flooring is made from a blend of weather-resistant SBR and resilient PVC; this flooring option is long lasting and durable. It will stand up well against the rough and abrasive treatment of an industrial setting while continuing to function with the same efficiency that has come to be expected from rubber surfacing.
“Diamond Plate” Roll Rubber Matting
- Quality protection at an affordable rate
- Easiest to install when you use double-sided tape
- Features a textured backside that grips base surfaces
- Excellent for use as an equipment floor mat garage flooring, warehouse flooring, factory mats, kennel mats for dogs, waterproof flooring, gym mats, shop mat, and much more
Designed for Traction: From the very beginning, the diamond plate mats are designed with safety in mind. The diamond pattern on these mats helps produce traction for the feet walking around on it. More traction means a far lower likelihood of slipping and falling. Each raised line of the pattern has a way of “gripping” feet. Diamond plate floor mats will provide enough resistance on all sides of the feet so as to keep them secure and upright.
Excellent Protection: Base flooring can be very vulnerable. Wood and tile can be degraded over time due to a high volume of foot traffic and/or the continued presence of heavy equipment. When these diamond plate floor mats are in place, they absorb the shock and pressure of heavy weights. They take the full force while preventing the surface beneath them from feeling it. If your area contains heavy equipment, floor mat options such as the “Diamond Plate” is essential to have around.
An Easily Maintained Product
We’ve stressed how important it is, in an industrial setting, to have a flooring option that is effective and efficient—and because of that we’ve touched on what makes a studded rubber floor such a functional option. Another great and alluring attribute of rubber matting is the ease of maintenance that comes along with this particular material. Rubber, which is already naturally resistant to water, will require little else to remove dirt and debris than a broom. For more thorough cleanings a damp mop can be employed to wipe down the floorings surface. More specialized cleaning methods will not be required.
Rubberized Coin Flooring is an Easy DIY Option
Apart from already being a sound economical choice, this particular style of rubberized surfacing also lends itself to an easy DIY installment. By avoiding the cost of a professional installation, industrial rubber floor mats become an even more economically attractive option. Coin grip flooring comes in rolls of rubber and is available in custom cut lengths and a continual seamless length of up to 50 ft. These long rolls of rubber are also called runners—and they can be used as single long mats throughout corridors, hallways, and walkways—or they can be laid down side by side as all-encompassing industrial floor matting. No adhesives are required for this flooring option, although double-sided tape can be applied in order to keep the runners in place. This ease of installation and removal becomes particularly useful when the studded rubber floor begins to show signs of wear and tear and needs to be replaced. Unlike permanent flooring structures (like concrete or linoleum) a rubber floor will not need to be broken or chipped off, saving you both time and money.
