About Maximum Matting
Where Mats Nationwide is strongest in entrance and custom logo matting, Maximum Matting is built around a different problem: keeping people comfortable and safe when they stand for hours. We specify matting by application — fatigue, static, slip — rather than by doorway footfall.
For standing-fatigue work we'd recommend the European-made M2, engineered specifically for full 8-hour shifts, with the M3 and M4 for ESD areas and UK-made Safe-Flex tiles for industrial floors. Each comes with published spec sheets so you compare on data, not description.
Maximum Matting strengths:
- ✓Matting engineered for standing time, not just footfall
- ✓Published anti-fatigue and ESD specifications per product
- ✓European-made M-Series and UK-made Safe-Flex, bought direct
- ✓Free samples, RAMS packs and CAD layouts as standard
