Hygienic matting

A 'pop up' temporary swimming pool initiative designed to encourage Londoners to learn to swim has been installed with Heronrib safety matting.

Heronrib, manufactured by Plastic Extruders, was laid on the pool surround to provide high slip resistance underfoot while also providing a comfortable and hygienic surface on which to stand.

Heronrib has a vinyl open grid construction with raised profile underbars which help water to drain away easily in all directions. This means that the embossed surface remains relatively dry and highly slip resistant. The matting is very hardwearing yet comfortable to stand on while the anti-bacterial and antifungal additives ensure it is hygienic.
