Hygiene mats for optimal hygiene in humid environments

Hygiene mats in ERP: swimming pools, saunas and changing rooms

When we think of hygiene in a company, we often think of food production sites and restaurant kitchens. Indeed, these sectors are subject to very strict hygiene rules and protocols. However, this is not the only place where hygiene must be beyond reproach. Swimming pools and saunas, showers and changing rooms are also establishments where the health risk is high. Protective equipment such as hygienic mats are available to ensure continuous floor hygiene.

In this article, NeoSol, experts in floor mats, explains the specific features of these mats and why it's essential to adopt them in your establishments.

What is a hygienic mat and what is it used for?

A hygienic mat is a professional floor covering designed to maintain optimum hygiene within an establishment. Hygiene mats are often found in food processing industries, sports and leisure complexes and wellness institutes.
Designed with revolutionary materials, they comply perfectly with hygiene and safety standards to prevent the proliferation of fungi and bacteria linked to damp floors.

Ideal for use in category X facilities such as swimming pools, saunas, changing rooms and other wet areas, the hygienic mat protects and provides comfort for your public.

Depending on the location, you'll have a choice of several mat models. The main function of a hygienic mat is to keep your premises clean, but that's not all! It is also anti-slip, anti-fall, anti-slip, anti-bacteriological and anti-microbial.

Today, there are still many companies that have not yet equipped their floors with a hygienic mat. This can be a real problem, as the absence of a mat can cause accidents for which you will be held responsible. To avoid this, NeoSol explains why it's necessary to install a hygienic mat on your premises.

Why opt for a hygienic mat in ERP?

In summer and winter alike, it's important for any establishment that welcomes the public and has wet areas to be equipped with hygienic mats. There are several reasons for this.

1. To avoid accidents, as wet, cold, soapy floors considerably increase the risk of falls.

2. To maintain optimal floor hygiene and reduce the risk of bacterial contamination.

3. To enable people to walk comfortably without fear of slipping.

4. To create a safer, healthier environment.

5. Facilitates water drainage thanks to the mat's surface.

Made-to-measure, this mat is easy to lay and clean, and is impact, water and chemical resistant. It also complies with flammability standards.

Hygienic mats for wet and slippery areas

As mentioned above, you can choose from a wide range of hygiene mats. Depending on your area of activity and the location of your flooring, you can opt for 1 or more mats. For example, you can choose between :

- A cross-wave anti-slip mat

For wet areas such as showers, you can opt for an anti-slip mat with a transverse wave surface. Its structure ensures instant drainage and hygiene.

- A hygienic grating for wet environments

This hygienic wetland grating is ideal for large spaces. It ensures optimum hygiene in leisure centers, parks and aquatic centers. Flexible and comfortable, its structure ensures that water does not stagnate and drains through the holes in the grating.

- A grating for swimming pools and changing rooms

In high-traffic areas such as public swimming pools or changing rooms, it's not uncommon for bacteria to form on floors. Moisture on a floor can cause microbes to proliferate. If not properly protected and cleaned, this can lead to health damage such as mold and mildew. What's more, the risk of infections such as mycosis will be higher. To prevent this, there's a swimming pool and changing room grating. This rubber mat allows people to walk comfortably barefoot without the risk of slipping and accidents.

Appropriate floor coverings such as hygienic mats are therefore essential for swimming pools, saunas, water sports and leisure centers. Not only will you be ensuring compliance with the hygiene standards applicable in these places, but you'll also be protecting your public from the risk of falling. This will ensure that your establishment is clean at all times and offers a satisfying customer experience.
