SLIP RESISTANCE AT GREEK
SWIMMING POOL Heronrib barefoot matting, manufactured in the UK by the matting division at Plastic Extruders Ltd, is being used to keep the local swimming and water polo teams safe from slipping accidents at the natatorium in Glyfada, which is part of the Athletic Nautical Club of Glyfada, in Athens, Greece.
Greek flooring Plastex distributor, Beredimas Safety Floors, recommended Heronrib as the perfect barefoot slip-resistant solution. The matting has been laid in the locker rooms and the hallway just outside the shower area to protect users walking barefoot on the wet and therefore slippery marble flooring.
Heronrib has a “C” Classification for slip-resistance surface under DIN 51097 the highest rating, and an open grid, two-layer construction with channelled underbars, which guarantees a dry surface is maintained
even in the most trafficked wet areas. Additionally, its non-porous PVC sections and impregnated anti-microbial and anti-fungal additives ensure permanent barefoot hygiene.
Available in several standard colours and sizes, the mat allows for a quick
and easy installation in a care-free, safe and hygienic environment.
