Why Activity Mats
The reasons for purchasing Activity Mats are many and diverse especially as they are used for many purposes. From the newly born child used as a changing / crawling mat and on up to adult hood in sports. The Activity mats are also used across a wide spectrum of organisation's as well as in the home. A small list would include the Home, Nurseries both private and public, Schools, N.H.S., Sports Halls and Sports Clubs and so on. The Mats have been used as flooring, safety mats, flash cards for literacy and numeric, fun games and so on. Key to their use are a number of key factors.
Safety – The interlock stops gaps between mats so avoiding dangerous gaps as well as keeping the mats together as a square oblong etc without fixings or adhesive so leaving the sub floor in perfect condition. Most of the Activity tiles and mats have the Child Fall High test. These give guidance factors for assisting in safety for children when engaged in various activities that may subject them to falls, especially when learning to crawl, walk and climb. Exceedingly helpful under play and exercise equipment and later in various sports especially those that have impact with the floor.
Hygiene - As well as the material (E.V.A.) not absorbing liquid it is virtually stain resistant with normal house hold products and such as children's pens and paints. It is also resistant to bleach (which may be used, but obviously care must be taken to ensure all residue is removed before re use). Child friendly products are advised to be used as well as soap and water. In commercial areas machine scrubbing has been used successfully with light brushes, especially in large sports complexes. Power washing may also be used and again mats that had been left out over a season on a golf course were easily and successfully cleaned this way.
Eco Friendly - The EVA can be recycled and we will be happy to receive any of our products we have supplied back for recycling by prior arrangement.
Sound Absorbent & Warmth - Ideal for use in areas of hard flooring that normally resonate or reflect sound within a room as well as to rooms below such as in flats, a head ache saver in flats and similar areas such as play rooms and school reading areas. Children are also protected from cold emanating from wooden, vinyl etc hard flooring when sitting or playing.
Flexible - Not just in themselves but in layout and use. Using the primary colours the Activity mats are loved by children and brighten up any area they are used in from a small play area to a large area. As the tiles are interlocking they may be laid in as a small area in a larger area without having to be fastened or stuck down.
Installation – As previously mentioned the tiles are interlocking so they may be laid in as a small area in a larger area without having to be fastened or stuck down. If the floor they are laid on is polished and slippy the Mat Grip may be used to help control this. They are light and easily moved from one location to another, easily moved outside then back in. Transport them around, change their shape. Easy to cut, only requirements s are a sharp knife and steel straight edge.
Attractive & Decorative - Bright primary colours with contrasting letters as well as numbers and signs, even feet and paws available. Cut your own shapes.
