Non slip mats for cutting room floor?


Hi,

  Can anyone recommend a brand of non slip mats for behind the meat cases and the cutting room floor to help prevent slipping on the wet floor but are still thin enough to pick up and clean and most important thin enough for pushing carts over?

Thank you!

Hello! We have several non-slip floor mats available. You can check them out on our website at: www.bunzlpd.com/home.php

Or, if you have a copy of our 2015 Buyers Guide catalog, they can be found on pages 352-353. Our Buyers Guide and other catalogs are available in an interactive 'flip-style' format on our website at: www.kochsupplies.com/topic/Catalogs.aspx or you can also request any of our catalogs for free.

Let me know if I can be of any further help or assistance.

Rustydusty, does your store use a mat service? If so, you should talk to the vendor for help. If not, you'll have to shell out some money. For outside the cutting room, behind a meat case and areas leading to the sales floor in general, you need a thin rubber type mat with a cleanable cloth topping. In the cutting room, you can't really have a lot of stuff on the floor. Where I stand behind the cutting block, I use interlocking rubber type mats 24in. by24 from Home Depot, I put the rough side down, and a piece of clean flat cardboard on top. Then I use cutting table leg to rest on top to keep from moving. I'm good to go all day. The thing you want to avoid are the big heavy mats with the holes. They are a bitch to clean, and will go M.I.A. after your closers deal with them for a few days.

Thanks.  You're right about those big mats.  We had them and they got thrown out.  We don't  have a mat service (but I think I will look into that).   Is there anywhere on the internet I can look at the "thin rubber type mat with a cleanable cloth topping" that you mention?  Can  carts be wheeled over them?

This message board is great,  thanks for the help.

Google eaglemats.com. Kind of pricy, but they have the right stuff.

One last thing, Rustydusty, make sure you have a good long handled squeegee to dry your floors quickly. Also, check for any leaking plumbing or equipment that might be causing wet spots.
