Honeycomb mats at the workstation do several jobs at once: they catch dirt and moisture, reduce the risk of slipping and make long periods of standing more comfortable. This guide shows which size fits, what sets the mat with an edge apart and where it should lie. You will find the mats in our floor marking and floor repair category, right next to marking tape and floor repair products.
What makes a honeycomb mat
According to the product description, the black honeycomb mats in our range are made of 100% natural rubber. Their honeycomb structure gives them their name. The mats are slip-resistant on both sides, meaning on the top and on the underside.
Properties according to the manufacturer
- hard-wearing and abrasion-resistant
- anti-fatigue and temperature-insulating
- sound-insulating and UV-stable
- easy to clean and suitable for all surfaces
The manufacturer specifies the mats for areas with medium to very high wear. According to the product data, no safety data sheet is required, and shelf life is unlimited.
The sizes at a glance
According to the product description, the honeycomb mats without an edge are 23 mm thick. They differ mainly in their surface area.
Compact: 60 x 80 cm
The Honeycomb mat black 60x80cm fits in front of a single standing workstation, in front of a machine or under a packing table. It is easy to lift and move to another spot.
Medium: 75 x 100 cm
The Honeycomb mat black 75x100cm offers more room to move. It suits workstations where people move sideways, or smaller entrances.
Large: 100 x 150 cm
The Honeycomb mat black 100x150cm covers wider passageways and entrance areas. For several people along a line or in front of a long table, several mats can also be laid side by side.
With or without an edge?
Besides the mats without an edge, there is the Honeycomb mat with edge black 91x152cm (13mm thick). It is also made of natural rubber and is slip-resistant on both sides. The product pictures and the technical data sheet on the product page show how the edge is shaped in detail.
A note on thickness: the product name states 13 mm, while the product description lists 23 mm. If height matters for your application, for example under a door or on a trolley route, please check this with us before ordering.
The product data does not say what the edge is intended for. According to the product description, both versions can be laid loose or used in a mat frame. If you are unsure which version suits your location, we will be happy to advise you.
Typical places of use
Warehouse entrance
As a dirt-trapping mat, the honeycomb mat takes up moisture, snow, slush and ice from shoes. This means less dirt gets into the hall. The mat can be laid loose or used in a mat frame.
Packing station in dispatch
Anyone who stands at the packing table for many hours benefits from the anti-fatigue effect. The compact size usually fits right in front of the table without blocking the way for trolleys.
Machine workstation
The product description lists the mat as an anti-fatigue mat in front of machines and as an anti-slip mat in areas at risk of slipping. Make sure the mat lies flat and no edge sticks up.
What to watch out for when laying the mat
A mat only helps if it lies in the right place. A few simple points make the difference in everyday use:
- Place the mat where people actually stand or walk, not next to it.
- Make sure the mat lies flat over its whole surface and no corners curl up.
- Keep escape routes and door swing areas clear so that nobody catches on an edge.
- Plan routes for trolleys and pallet trucks before deciding on the size.
Check the position of the mat regularly, especially in entrance areas with a lot of foot traffic. A mat that has shifted or curled up should be put straight again right away.
Frequently asked questions
How do I clean a honeycomb mat?
According to the manufacturer, the mat is easy to clean. Since it can be laid loose, it can also be lifted to clean the floor underneath. The care instructions on the product page apply.
Can I use the mat outdoors?
According to the product description, the mat is UV-stable and intended as a dirt-trapping mat in entrance areas for moisture, snow, slush and ice. The product data does not explicitly mention outdoor use. Please check this with us before ordering.
What kind of floor can the mat lie on?
The manufacturer describes the honeycomb mat as suitable for all surfaces. The floor should be level so that the mat lies evenly.
Does the mat replace floor marking?
No. The mat creates a more comfortable, slip-resistant place to stand. You still mark walkways and danger points with floor marking.
How to choose the right honeycomb mat
- Measure the area where people stand or walk.
- Decide whether the mat lies loose or goes into a mat frame.
- Check whether doors, trolleys or pallet trucks need to pass over the mat.
