Big solution for small feet

Camping de Paal, one of Europe's largest camping sites, had a problem with their large indoor pool and childrens' wet play area. The problem was that there was a large area of steel floor grating, where children play with water toys, which was very difficult to walk on and slippery. To overcome the problem, rubber tiles were laid but, within six months, these had deteriorated, and clogged the water filters, not only because of the pool's chlorine but also because of wear by the metal below.

Standing for long periods, particularly on hard floors, induces fatigue and reduces productivity. Cold and damp underfoot conditions will also increase standing discomfort.

This helps to reduce physical problems of progressive bone damage, varicose veins, poor circulation and water retention, as well as back problems.
