When asked what mat opportunities there are, the most obvious answer is usually "Entrance Mats". And while this is a large segment of the mat market, there are numerous other placements that are available beyond the doorways which are overlooked.
One such area will be found at schools, universities and professional athletic arenas. When athletes go from the locker room to the field they will, in many cases, have to walk on smooth concrete which can be a slip hazard if they are wearing cleats. Or swimmers walking from their locker rooms may also find walkways slippery due to the wet nature of pool areas. In these cases, you may want to consider offering Traction Tread rubber runners to increase the slip resistance of the walking surface. The cost of the Traction Tread rubber runner will more than pay for itself in reduced injury and liability and will help to keep athletes safe and healthy.
Another area at schools and universities where Traction Tread rubber runners can be beneficial is as a protective matting surface on composite athletic tracks. When tracks are not being used but access is needed to the infield, Traction Tread rubber runners laid across the track will protect the composite surface from accelerated wear in those areas used as walkways. The cost is more than justified by extending the life of the track surface.
