FAQ
Quick answers on Maximum Matting vs Duramat.
Is Safe-Flex a replacement for Duramat UK products?
Safe-Flex is designed for indoor industrial workstations, ESD zones and anti-fatigue areas. Duramat excels at ground protection, garage and outdoor applications. Choose Safe-Flex when you need ergonomic support and compliance documentation, and Duramat for heavy outdoor load-spreading.
Can I use both systems in one facility?
