Wet and demanding workplaces can be difficult environments to manage. Water, grease, food debris and other liquids can make floors uncomfortable to stand on and increase the risk of slips, while employees may spend hours working in one position on hard flooring.
The Comfort Flow Anti Microbial Rubber Mat is designed to tackle several of these problems at the same time. It combines anti-fatigue cushioning, drainage, slip resistance, nitrile rubber construction and anti-microbial treatment in one heavy-duty workplace mat.
Suitable for wet or dry environments, indoors or outdoors, Comfort Flow is particularly useful in commercial kitchens, behind bars, food processing areas, machine shops, workstations, walk-in freezers and other areas where employees need a safer and more comfortable standing surface.

What Is the Comfort Flow Anti Microbial Rubber Mat?
Comfort Flow is a heavy-duty anti-fatigue rubber mat designed for workplaces where liquids, grease, debris and prolonged standing can create everyday safety and comfort challenges.
The mat is made from 100% high-density closed-cell nitrile rubber cushion. Its surface combines textured areas with flow-through holes, allowing liquids and debris to move away from the standing surface instead of collecting around the worker's feet.
Multi-Purpose Workplace Mat
Comfort Flow combines several functions that would normally be required from separate workplace products. It provides drainage, anti-fatigue cushioning, slip resistance and anti-microbial treatment in one mat.
Wet or Dry Use
The mat can be used in both wet and dry environments, making it suitable for a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications.
Indoor or Outdoor Use
Comfort Flow can also be used indoors or outdoors where a robust nitrile rubber mat is required.
Designed for Busy Workplaces
The mat is particularly suited to working environments where people stand for extended periods and where water, grease or workplace debris may regularly reach the floor.
Why Wet Workplaces Need Specialist Matting
A standard floor mat may not be suitable for a wet commercial environment. When water, oils, drinks or food debris build up on a solid mat surface, they can remain directly beneath the worker's shoes.
A specialist drainage mat allows these materials to move away from the main walking and standing surface.
Water Can Create Slippery Floors
Water from cleaning, food preparation or everyday work processes can make smooth flooring difficult to walk on safely.
Grease Creates Additional Challenges
Commercial kitchens and food processing areas can also have grease and oil present. A suitable nitrile rubber mat offers better resistance in these demanding environments.
Workers May Stand for Hours
Wet work areas are often also standing work areas. Kitchen staff, bar staff, production workers and machine operators may spend long periods on their feet.
Drainage and Comfort Work Together
Comfort Flow is designed to address both problems by providing a cushioned anti-fatigue surface while allowing liquid and debris to drain away.
How Comfort Flow Helps with Standing Fatigue
Standing for extended periods on hard flooring can become uncomfortable. Anti-fatigue matting provides a cushioned surface between the worker and the floor, making long periods of standing more comfortable.
Cushioned Nitrile Rubber
The high-density nitrile rubber cushion provides a supportive surface underfoot instead of forcing workers to stand directly on concrete, tile or another hard floor.
Supports Standing Workstations
Comfort Flow is particularly useful at fixed workstations where employees remain in one area for much of their shift.
Useful Behind Counters and Bars
Bar staff often work on hard floors while moving over a relatively small area. A cushioned mat can provide a more comfortable standing and walking surface throughout a shift.
Useful in Commercial Kitchens
Kitchen staff may spend long periods standing while preparing food, cooking and cleaning. Comfort Flow combines cushioning with the drainage needed in this type of environment.
How the Flow-Through Drainage Design Works
One of the main features of Comfort Flow is its open flow-through design. Holes in the mat allow liquid and debris to move through the surface instead of remaining directly beneath footwear.
Liquid Moves Away from the Standing Surface
Water and other liquids can pass through the openings, helping keep the upper surface clearer.
Debris Can Fall Below the Mat
Loose debris can also move through the holes rather than remaining on the walking surface.
Ideal for Wet Work Areas
This makes Comfort Flow particularly useful in areas where spills or moisture are part of normal daily operations.
The Floor Underneath Still Needs Cleaning
Because liquid and debris pass through the mat, the floor underneath should be cleaned regularly as part of the normal maintenance routine.
Why Nitrile Rubber Matters
Comfort Flow is manufactured from 100% high-density closed-cell nitrile rubber cushion. Nitrile rubber is particularly useful in demanding commercial environments where ordinary rubber may be exposed to grease and oils.
Designed for Tough Work Areas
The nitrile construction gives Comfort Flow the durability needed for commercial kitchens, food processing areas and industrial workstations.
Grease and Oil Resistance
Its resistance to grease and oil makes it particularly valuable in areas where cooking oils, lubricants or oily residues may be present.
Moisture Resistant
The closed-cell construction also prevents water from being absorbed into the mat material itself.
Suitable for Regular Cleaning
Nitrile rubber is well suited to environments where mats need frequent washing as part of routine workplace cleaning.
Anti-Microbial Treatment and Workplace Hygiene
Comfort Flow includes an anti-microbial treatment designed to guard the mat against degradation caused by micro-organisms and to help minimise the mat becoming a source of unpleasant odours.
This is particularly useful in environments where cleanliness and hygiene are important.
Integrated into the Mat
The anti-microbial treatment is incorporated into the mat rather than simply being applied as a temporary surface coating.
Useful in Food Environments
Food preparation and processing spaces often require surfaces that can cope with frequent cleaning and high hygiene demands.
Useful in Healthcare and Hygiene-Sensitive Areas
Comfort Flow can also be useful in settings where maintaining clean working surfaces is especially important.
Helps Control Odour Sources
The treatment helps guard against microbial degradation that may otherwise contribute to unwanted mat odours.
Slip Resistance in Wet Areas
Wet areas need a mat that provides traction as well as drainage. Comfort Flow has a textured slip-resistant surface designed to improve grip underfoot.
Textured Surface
The textured rubber surface provides additional contact under footwear, helping workers maintain a more secure footing.
Drainage Supports Surface Grip
By allowing water to move through the mat, the drainage holes help prevent large amounts of liquid from sitting directly on the upper surface.
Non-Skid Backing
The mat also has a non-skid backing to help it remain stable on the floor during use.
Certified Slip Resistance
Comfort Flow is certified slip resistant by the National Floor Safety Institute, making it well suited to workplaces where slip prevention is a priority.
What Does Closed-Cell Rubber Mean?
Comfort Flow uses closed-cell nitrile rubber. Closed-cell construction means the internal cells of the material are sealed rather than open to one another.
Does Not Absorb Liquid Easily
Because the cells are closed, liquids cannot easily penetrate the rubber material.
Useful Around Water
This makes the mat better suited to wet environments than absorbent foam materials that may retain moisture.
Maintains Cushioning
The rubber cushion can continue providing anti-fatigue support even when the surrounding work area is wet.
Easier Workplace Maintenance
A non-absorbent mat can also be easier to wash thoroughly when routine hygiene is important.
Oil and Grease Resistance
Oil and grease resistance is particularly important in commercial kitchens, food production areas and industrial environments.
Commercial Kitchens
Cooking oils and grease can reach the floor during busy food service. Nitrile rubber is better suited to these conditions than many standard rubber materials.
Machine Shops
Machine and industrial work areas may contain lubricants, oils or other residues. Comfort Flow provides a robust matting option for these environments.
Food Processing Areas
Food processing facilities often combine moisture, oils, frequent cleaning and prolonged standing, making them a strong application for Comfort Flow.
Behind Bars
Drink spills, water and cleaning products can all reach the floor behind a busy bar. The drainage surface helps move these liquids away from the worker's feet.
11mm Low-Profile Construction
Comfort Flow has an 11mm overall mat height. This gives the mat enough depth for cushioning and drainage while maintaining a relatively low workplace profile.
Comfort Without Excessive Height
The 11mm construction provides anti-fatigue cushioning without creating an unnecessarily bulky floor surface.
Easier Movement Around the Mat
A lower profile can make it easier for staff to step onto and off the mat during normal work.
Suitable for Busy Work Areas
The mat can be positioned at counters, preparation stations, machinery or other fixed work areas without taking up excessive vertical space.
Lightweight for Easier Handling
Comfort Flow is also designed to be lighter in weight than many traditional drainage mats, making it easier to lift for cleaning.
Where to Use Comfort Flow Mats
Comfort Flow is suitable for many different workplaces, particularly where standing comfort, drainage and resistance to moisture or grease are important.
Commercial Kitchens
Commercial kitchens are one of the strongest applications because Comfort Flow combines drainage, grease resistance and anti-fatigue comfort.
Behind Bars
Behind-bar areas regularly experience spills and long periods of standing, making a drainage anti-fatigue mat particularly useful.
Food Processing Areas
Comfort Flow can support cleaner and safer standing areas in food processing environments where water, debris and frequent washing are common.
Workstations
At fixed workstations, the cushioned nitrile rubber construction provides extra comfort for employees who stand for extended periods.
Heavy Industrial Areas
The mat is suitable for demanding industrial environments where a tougher rubber mat is required.
Machine Shops
Oil resistance and drainage make Comfort Flow useful around machinery and production equipment.
Walk-In Freezers
Comfort Flow can also be used in walk-in freezer environments where workers need a stable, cushioned standing surface.
Wet Areas
The flow-through construction makes the mat particularly suitable wherever water regularly reaches the floor.
External Entrances
Comfort Flow may also be used at suitable external entrance areas where drainage and slip resistance are important.
Comfort Flow Mat Sizes
Comfort Flow Anti Microbial Rubber Mats are available in four standard sizes, allowing businesses to choose the most suitable coverage for individual workstations or larger standing areas.
- 54cm x 86cm
- 86cm x 142cm
- 86cm x 277cm
- 114cm x 175cm
54cm x 86cm
The smallest option is useful for compact standing stations where one employee works in a relatively fixed position.
86cm x 142cm
This size provides additional movement space and is useful behind counters, preparation areas and machinery.
86cm x 277cm
The longer format is ideal for linear work areas where employees move sideways along a counter, production line or bar.
114cm x 175cm
The wider option provides more generous floor coverage for larger workstations and standing zones.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Wet-area mats need regular cleaning because the drainage design deliberately allows dirt and liquids to move below the walking surface.
Pressure Washing
Comfort Flow can be pressure washed for thorough cleaning.
Hose Cleaning
The mat can also simply be hosed down as part of regular workplace cleaning.
Clean Underneath the Mat
Lift the mat regularly and clean the floor underneath to remove any dirt, food debris, grease or liquid that has passed through the drainage holes.
Allow the Mat to Dry
Allow both the mat and the floor underneath to dry properly before returning the mat to its working position.
Increase Cleaning in Busy Areas
Commercial kitchens, bars and food processing facilities may require more frequent cleaning because the mat can collect significant amounts of liquid and debris during busy periods.
