Park Dean Resorts Enhances Poolside Safety with SlipProtect Matting

• Problem

  Laura, the Facilities Manager at Park Dean Resorts, was overseeing a swimming pool refurbishment at one of their sites. A key priority was improving safety and comfort around the pool’s edge. The site required a heavy-duty matting solution that would minimise slip risks while remaining comfortable underfoot for guests.

• Solution

  Laura selected SlipProtect Heavy-Duty Swimming Pool Matting from First Mats. Designed for wet leisure environments, this matting was installed around the pool edge. The raised duckboard-style design allows surface water to drain effectively underneath the matting, reducing standing water and helping to prevent slips, while also offering a comfortable surface for barefoot use.

• Results

  The installed SlipProtect matting significantly improved poolside safety by providing enhanced grip and reducing slip risks caused by surface water. Its raised design promoted better drainage, while guests also benefited from the added comfort when walking around the pool area. The product proved to be a practical, long-lasting addition to the newly refurbished facility.
