Zed Chex makes standing easier

5 Jun 2009

Standing for long periods, particularly on hard floors, induces fatigue and reduces productivity. Cold and damp underfoot conditions will also increase standing discomfort. For staff dealing with aircraft wheels at British Airways' engineering/maintenance facility within Heathrow airport, this problem has been overcome by equipping each work station with a module of Zed Chex to provide anti fatigue relief and to create a resilient underfoot surface. This helps to reduce physical problems of progressive bone damage, varicose veins, poor circulation and water retention, as well as back problems.

Heronrib has been installed throughout the refurbished Rye Sports Centre
Slip resistant Heronrib matting is playing a vital role in the Rye Sports Centre.  This facility, one of several operated by the Freedom Leisure Group, has been refurbished with close attention paid to health and safety.  The reason for installing the matting throughout the changing-rooms is to reduce any danger of slipping on the wet floor tiles.

Heronrib is the well proven solution for reducing accidents associated with slipping, particularly around swimming-pools, in changing-rooms and shower areas.  The open grid format has raised profile underbars which allow water to drain away easily in all directions.

The Frontrunner entrance flooring system is fronting a new £15m leisure centre at North Ashfield. The leisure and sports facility comprises a 25m six-lane swimming pool, learner pool, ice rink, two squash courts, a four-court badminton hall and six-lane bowls hall, fitness suite with 90 machines, creche and car park.

A priority for Ashfield Council has been the importance of achieving the highest standards of cleanliness by ensuring that external shoe dirt and wind blown dust is prevented from entering the building. Working with design and build contractor Alfred McAlpine/Carilion, this has been solved by using the high performance Frontrunner system within automatic sliding double entrance doors. The matting was installed by Brook Flooring of Milton Keynes.

7 Jun 2008

Floorline matting in extra long rolls is now available for the hospitality industry and for other light duty applications.  The cost effective benefits include increased safety and comfort underfoot coupled with reduced wastage and longer seamless walkways.

The hardwearing matting is widely used back of house in hotels, clubs, bars and restaurants. It is particularly suitable in potentially wet areas, such as behind bars or in tap rooms and in kitchens or cellars.  The soft tubular grid construction will cushion falling bottles or equipment and is impervious to liquids which are dissipated through the grid.  The matting is also suitable as an economical floorcovering which is comfortable to walk on and which will insulate from hard and cold floors, such as in stores, serveries and housekeeping areas.
