Slippage: Promote comfort, sanitation and sure footing in kitchens, spas, decks, bars, locker-rooms or wherever wet floors are a possibility. The molded, cleated surface and drainage holes will channel away moisture or spills and enhance traction and your peace of mind!
Bacteria: These versatile mats feature an EPA registered anti-microbial agent that inhibits micro-organisms such as E. coli and staphylococcus arreus, thereby promoting a sanitized mat surface. This anti-microbial agent will not rub off or stain, and withstands the rigors of industrial washing.
Fatigue: Universal's kitchen mats feature a closed-cell rubber sponge construction which can enhance comfort and reduce fatigue. This makes these mats ideal for kitchens, service areas, bars or wherever employees or clients must stand for extended periods.

All of these features make Universal's kitchen mats the clear mat choice for demanding environments. For tips on how to strategically place mats on your premises to provide optimal protection, check out our Product Placement and Service Guide.
