Outdoors mats reduce the risk of slips and falls outdoors. The mats can be installed in many areas to provide better footing for outdoor environments. Outdoor mats are usually made from tough rubber so that they can be used in all seasons and weather conditions.
Most outdoor matting will have holes in the surface. This is to allow for drainage in the case or rain and snow. Providing drainage allows the mats surface to remain clear at all times.

Outdoor mats need holes in them if they are being used outdoors. The holes allow for drainage of rainwater and reduce risk of slipping.
The RampMat Multi Purpose Mat is a typical example of outdoor matting and can be placed at entrances to scrape dirt before pedestrians spread dirt around your premises. The loose lay format of the mats allows them to be installed with great ease on site.
If you have rooftops and walkways that require outdoor matting, there are several options available. Outdoor rooftop matting is often used for maintenance and facilities employees who may need rooftop access on a regular basis. These mats can be laid out on rooftop membranes and walkways to provide sure footing for these employees.
