Rubber Kitchen and Catering Mats

Which Rubber Kitchen & Catering Mats Should You Choose?

If you manage a restaurant or commercial kitchen environment, then our Rubber Kitchen Mats are essential for your floors. Made from oil and grease-resistant rubber, these specially designed anti-fatigue mats are perfect for busy kitchens, caterers, and food production factories. As well as being made from high-quality materials, the rubber kitchen mats provide a textured non-slip surface to protect against slip accidents on slippery floors.

Not only will we make your kitchen floor sparkle with cleanliness but we will also meet or exceed current industry guidelines and health and safety legislation. You can purchase your kitchen mats online with fast delivery on all orders, or speak to our excellent customer service team for expert advice and guidance.

KrossMat Oil Resistant Rubber Kitchen Mat designed for industrial use, providing anti-fatigue comfort and slip resistance in oily environments.

Main Features of Rubber Kitchen Mats

Unlike standard rubber floor mats, our commercial kitchen mats offer oil and grease resistance, anti-fatigue properties and swarf capture. The slip-resistant surface also reduces the risk of accidents. If you have a bar, hotel, restaurant or food production facility, never settle for anything less than our tried and tested range of rubber kitchen floor mats. Below we will explain the critical features that separate our kitchen matting from the competition.

Anti-Slip Safety

In wet floor areas like commercial kitchens, the risk of slips is very high, especially in busy kitchen environments. That's why your rubber kitchen mats should have a textured surface to help users stand securely on the mat's surface. Drainage mats are also essential, as their pattern of holes allows water to drain underneath them.

Anti-Fatigue Properties

Industrial kitchen mats can provide anti-fatigue assistance that aids chefs, porters, factory operators and bartenders concentrate and focus when standing for long periods. In addition to preventing tiredness, the anti-fatigue kitchen mats reduce the possibility of long-term injuries and staff sickness and help to improve staff productivity and morale.

While other rubber kitchen mats may have raised or indented surfaces for fatigue prevention, others may have a soft layer of memory foam (sometimes known as kitchen comfort mats) that ease the pressure from your feet, knees and lower back while standing on them.

Swarf and Moisture Control

The build-up of food production swarf and pieces of food can be detrimental to food production – potentially leading to cross-contamination between areas and causing a wider lack of hygiene in the facility.

To counter this, our rubber kitchen floor mats are equipped with holes, gaps or small wells on top of the surface, allowing bigger chucks of foot swarf to be trapped while allowing smaller pieces and liquids to drain or stay on top of the mat.

Types of Rubber Kitchen and Catering Mats

We supply many kitchen and catering mats that apply to many situations.

Open Holed Rubber Kitchen Mat

Rubber kitchen mats such as our DrainAway and CaterStep mat feature an open-holed design suitable for wet areas when dealing with drinks and cooking oils and greases. The open holes system allows these fluids to drain underneath or remain trapped within the holes to be cleaned away later.

Another reason for the open-holed system is to help prevent slips and accidents in a busy working environment. As reported by HSE, slips and trips are the most common causes of accidents within the UK. With the help of anti-fatigue catering matting, many of these incidents can be prevented for a brighter future.
