Why Tacky Mats Matter

  • Highly Effective: Traps fine dust, dirt, and particles from shoes and wheels.
  • Peelable Layers: Easy to refresh, with up to 60 sticky sheets per mat.

How to Choose the Right Tacky Mat

How to Choose the Right Tacky Mat

When selecting a tacky mat, consider the type of traffic in your space and the specific cleanliness requirements.

For pedestrian areas, such as doorways in hospitals or clean rooms, tacky step mats with rigid frames are a reliable choice. These mats are available in multiple sizes, including compact options for smaller entrances and larger mats for wider doorways.

In environments with wheeled traffic, like hospital trolleys or carts, roller sticky mats are the ideal solution due to their low-profile design, which allows for smooth movement while still effectively capturing dirt and debris.

Both step mats and roller mats are available in blue or white, allowing you to choose a colour that complements your environment while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.
