Why Choose Mats Nationwide?
What Are the Best Types of Workshop Mats?
It depends on the workshop environment as to what workshop floor mats are best. In some workplaces, the mat will need to be fire resistant for tasks such as welding, while other workshops might need holes to allow liquids or excess materials to run into.
For those looking for a selection of workshop mats to reduce fatigue and improve safety in their workspace, Mats Nationwide has a knowledgeable team that can help. With over thirty years’ experience, we will be happy to offer key advice as to which workshop mat is most suitable for your working needs.
Choosing the Right Type of Workshop Floor Mat
We have workshop floor mats to suit individuals who work at home in a garage or shed space or are lucky enough to have their very own workshop, right through to blue chip organisations who need to order a bulk order of workshop mats.
Rubber Workshop Mats
Rubber workshop mats are one type of safety matting we stock than can be used across many industries. They have many qualities that can be used for improved efficiency, from manufacturing workshops to outdoors in schools. They’re durable, non-slip, weatherproof and make a great addition to any workshop.
Anti-Fatigue Mats
Anti-fatigue floor mats are a type of workshop mat that act as a cushion for the busy workplace to help reduce the fatigue caused by standing in the workplace for prolonged periods, especially on hard surfaces.
Anti Static Mats
Anti static mats are designed to dissipate static electricity. In some workplaces, simply working, walking or even sitting can create static electricity. Left unchecked, static can discharge into static sensitive equipment, potentially causing damage. Anti-static matting is a useful workshop mat that drains static from workers, preventing unpleasant static shocks and safeguarding equipment in the workplace.
Swarf Mats
Swarf matting enhances health and safety in the workplace by collecting ‘swarf’ produced during machining and other manufacturing processes. Collecting the swarf prevents them from being a trip or slip hazard. Easy to clean at the end of a shift, any swarf such as wood chippings, metal filings or plastic chips are also gathered up in the matting and kept from spreading elsewhere.
Safety Mats
Safety mats are a general term for workshop floor matting that is designed to increase safety in a workshop. This could be at the entrance points, at the base of stairs or at a workstation.
Examples of safety mats include our workshop rubber mats, which are used to prevent moisture being brought into the workplace, or floor mats with a yellow border, which highlight the edge of a workspace. Anti-slip mats and mats that are resistant to oil and grease can also be considered to be ‘workshop safety mats’.
Drainage Mats
Drainage mats are rubber workshop mats that can help to keep employees and customers safe. This is achieved through the holes and channels in the mat, which allow liquids and oils to pass through. This keeps the surface dry and safe. A popular choice for wet workshops.

How to Clean a Workshop Mat
As workshop floor mats come in different types and sizes, the way in which you can clean them varies on which one you have purchased. Most of our workshop mats can be cleaned using a hose, vacuum or even just a small damp cloth for small messes and spills.
Should the mess be oil or chemical based, detergents are better suited to provide a deeper clean for that mat. In the event of a chemical spill, safety equipment such as goggles and gloves would be recommended in order to avoid chemical harm when cleaning your workshop mats.
