Work Matta™ Safety Flooring Systems

Work Matta™ surface coverings are based on the concept of a “floor above the floor”. Each Work Matta™ tile incorporates a unique under-structure of compression columns that act as springs when weight is applied to the tile surface. This spring-like action counters the negative effects of impact or standing for prolonged periods, thereby increasing worker comfort and safety. Since the compression columns in each tile are not subject to surface wear, the ergonomic benefits of Work Mattaä tile remains consistent over time.
