A commercial kitchen will need heavy-duty perforated floor mats to protect against slips in this potentially dangerous environment. In contrast, a foam mat with perforations in the home doesn’t need quite the same level of safety features.
The best perforated floor mats in the Greatmats catalog will provide varying levels of safety, performance, and durability, depending on the customers’ budget and requirements for the space.
What Do Inexpensive Mats With Perforations Cost?
$2 to $8 per square foot
For the best budget-priced outdoor mat in the $2 to $8 per square foot range, consider the WorkStep Red Perforated Drainage Mat, which is available in 3x5, 3x10, 3x15, and 3x20 foot sizes. This mat is a great budget-friendly option for commercial kitchens, bars, restaurants, cafeterias, and food service locations.
Each tile consists of lightweight, grease-resistant rubber material. The holes in this rubber mat allow water and liquids to drain away from the work area, and the underside of the fatigue mat features nibs to elevate the mat for faster drainage.
Another option is the SaniTop Anti-Fatigue Mat, which also consists of rubber. This yields a high level of traction for industrial workstations in wet or dry areas, helping those walking across it to maintain a secure footing and avoid a slip hazard. This works nicely for an indoor installation in a kitchen area as well.
Both of these inexpensive perforated floor mats have raised bases, which allow air to flow underneath, removing moisture through evaporation. This feature means these budget-priced mats would work as an entrance mat to catch moisture and other contaminants before visitors enter an office building. They’d also help in walkways where moisture dripping off shoes can create slipping hazards.
What Is an Average Cost for Perforated Floor Mats?
$8 to $12 per square foot
Expect an average mat with holes to cost between $8 and $12 per square foot. A popular selection for an indoor/outdoor mat with perforations is the Heronair Industrial Matting Roll. This matting has an open grid pattern with an etched surface for traction.
Three colors are available in the interlocking design, including black, gray, and red. Its flexible PVC construction enables it to conform to irregular surfaces and spaces. Its lightweight nature facilitates easy lifting and effortless installation.
Another great mid-range product is the Safety TruTread GritTuff Perforated Fatigue Mat. Made of heavy-duty rubber, the mat provides exceptional anti-fatigue comfort in wet environments where fluids or water need to drain through. The GritTuff feature is a gritted surface to provide extra traction.
The Safety TruTread Mat features 3 durable, beveled borders in orange or yellow for increased safety awareness and reduced tripping hazards.
What Do Premium Mats With Perforations Cost?
$12 to $25 per square foot
The impressive commercial-quality perforated floor mats found in the $12 to $25 price range per square foot offer maximum anti-fatigue capabilities while standing up to regular use and exposure to contaminants that could cause a lower-priced mat to break down prematurely.
The SuperFoam Perforated Anti-Fatigue Mat works for stand-alone use, as it does not have an interlocking edge. With a size of 3 by 5 feet, it can easily provide the space a single person needs for standing and working.
The blend of closed-cell nitrile and PVC foam material delivers an anti-slip texture. It’s non-absorbent and grease-proof, so liquids in a kitchen setting will not soak into the mat. Instead, they’ll drain through the round holes in the material.
It resists chemicals, oils, and greases, so it’ll work in a kitchen setting, as well as in bars and at waiter/waitress stations in a restaurant.
For another premium perforated floor mat with a design that has a bit more durability, consider the Wearwell 24/7 CFR Perforated Mat. The ideal use case for this large rubber mat is in an industrial area where mineral oil-based fluids represent a common contaminant.
The mat has big circular perforations that extend through the 5/8-inch-thick mat, quickly draining spills from the top of the mat. It’s tough enough to stand up to regular use, but the rubber material is soft enough to give anti-fatigue properties to the employees who must stand all day to do their jobs.
