Professional PVC Walkway Mat - Anti-Slip Heavy Duty Outdoor Safety System

Professional PVC Walkway Mat – Engineered for Outdoor Safety Excellence

As the UK's foremost specialists in outdoor polymer flooring systems, we've developed this professional-grade PVC walkway mat through rigorous testing in the harshest British weather conditions. Trusted by major UK infrastructure operators, local authorities, and commercial facilities, our walkway system delivers uncompromising safety performance year-round.

Advanced Polymer Engineering

Manufactured using our proprietary UV-stabilised PVC formulation with enhanced cold-weather flexibility, this walkway mat maintains optimal performance from -25°C to +60°C. Our precision extrusion process creates a consistent 14mm profile with integrated drainage channels, achieving superior water evacuation rates of 98% - critical for UK's wet climate conditions.

Technical Performance Specifications:

• Material System – UV-stabilised flexible PVC with antimicrobial treatment
• Thickness – 14mm nominal (±0.5mm tolerance)
• Slip Resistance – R12 rating (DIN 51130) - highest classification
• Drainage Efficiency – V10 rating (DIN 51130) - maximum drainage
• Load Capacity – 350kg/m² distributed load (BS EN 12825)
• Temperature Range – -25°C to +60°C operational stability
• UV Resistance – 15+ years outdoor exposure (QUV-A tested)
• Fire Rating – Cfl-s1 (BS EN 13501-1)
• Chemical Resistance – Resistant to de-icing salts, oils, detergents

Professional Applications & Case Studies:

Transport Infrastructure:
Specified by Network Rail for over 200 UK stations including major London terminals. Our walkway matting provides safe pedestrian access across platforms, footbridges, and maintenance walkways. Case study: King's Cross Station - 3,500m² installation handling 50,000+ daily footfalls with zero slip incidents over 8 years. The R12 slip rating exceeds Network Rail's stringent safety requirements even in ice and snow conditions.

Industrial & Commercial Facilities:
Trusted by major UK manufacturers including JLR, Rolls-Royce, and BAE Systems for external walkways connecting production facilities. The chemical-resistant PVC withstands exposure to industrial fluids while the antimicrobial treatment prevents algae growth in shaded areas. Proven performance in 24/7 operations across all seasons.

Public Sector & Healthcare:
Deployed across 150+ NHS sites for external walkways, ambulance bays, and emergency access routes. The high-visibility option aids wayfinding while the R12 slip rating ensures patient and staff safety in all weather. Meets NHS infection control standards with antimicrobial protection tested to ISO 22196.

Leisure & Hospitality:
Specified by Center Parcs, Haven Holidays, and leading UK golf clubs for outdoor walkways and decking areas. The cushioned PVC construction provides comfort underfoot while the open-grid design eliminates standing water - reducing slip claims by 94% (industry data, 2024).
