Handles extremes

Heronrib safety matting
manufactured by Plastic Extruders
is widely used both indoors and
outside at The Blue Lagoon,
Iceland’s unique tourist destination.

Famous for its 5000m2 geothermal
seawater lagoon, thehealth site
attracts 400,000 visitors each year.

In order to provide a safe, slipresistant
and comfortable walking
surface, Heronrib matting has been
laid within the changing rooms,
shower areas and on the outside
decking which leads to the lagoon.

Heronrib features an open grid
vinyl construction with raised profile
underbars which help water to drain
away easily in all directions. This
means that the embossed surface is
comfortable to barefoot traffic yet
slip resistant. The matting is
hardwearing yet comfortable to
stand on, while the anti-bacterial and
anti-fungal additives ensure it is
hygienic. Heronrib is also resistant to
extremes of temperature as well as to
the natural, health-giving salts, silica,
sulphurs and chemicals which are
present in the lagoon water.
