Measuring & Custom Orders

Prepare accurate dimensions, drain locations, photos, and application details before ordering. Custom sizing is usually safer than assuming a standard product can be altered after delivery.

A practical approach to floor safety

A mat is one part of a safer-space plan. Surface condition, moisture, drainage, lighting, transitions, footwear, housekeeping, installation, and routine inspection can all affect real-world risk.

Choose SafetyMat for a compatible surface and follow the instructions and written policies for the exact product. SafetyMat products are manufactured using certified source materials. Those certifications apply to the source materials and their manufacturers—not to SafetyMat or the finished SafetyMat product. No certification has been issued under the SafetyMat name.
