By Lisa Hobbie Created: June, 2021 - Modified: June, 2021

Sticky floor mats are often used on construction sites to prevent from tracking dirty or muddy shoes over new flooring surfaces like carpet or hardwood. They are also a great accessory for areas in the process of mold, lead paint or asbestos abatement as a way to help control the spread of the substances.

These tacky mats come without a tray, which is only needed when each sheet will not be used in a single location, like on job sites where contractors use a few sheets before moving to a new work site.

Tac-Mat Contamination Mats

Interlocking Rubber Floor Tiles 2x2 FtThe Tac-Mat Contamination Control Dry Mat is an 18x36 inch option that works hard to remove particles, dust, dirt, and contaminates from shoes or wheeled equipment - on a construction site or anywhere in the home or business.

These mats are constructed from thin layers of adhesive topped with polyethylene plastic film. The water based adhesive is resistant to adhesive transfer.

These pads each come with 30 peel-off sheets and 4 pads in each case. You can either just use one pad at a time or you can use many of them next to each other for large spaces. They provide an adhesive backing which secures the pads to the floor.

Using sticky floor mats at a construction site prevents dirt, impurities, and contaminants from entering into a space requiring absolute dust and dirt control. They can be installed on a clean, dry surface, and they work best when they are placed vertically to a door with the tab away from the traffic to ensure both people's feet will tap the mat when they step up to it.
  1. Place it on the floor and adhere it. After taking off the bottom layer, put the mat - tacky side down - against the end of the doorway, and then slowly press it onto the floor. Rub your hand across it back and forth while applying steady pressure. This will remove air bubbles and guarantee a smooth install.
  2. Take the top protective film off. Locate the tab and peel back the first layer by rolling it up and into a ball to reduce static.
  3. Use the mat. Make sure both feet hit it when people enter the room or space. Once about 50 passes have been made, change the mat layers.
