HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT MAT FOR YOUR NEEDS
Floortex mats are highly cost-effective solutions for the protection of expensive floor coverings such as carpets, real wood and laminated floors. They will save floors from loss of appearance, wear and damage. Floortex offers a wide selection of shapes and sizes to suit your requirements.
Our mats have an embossed upper surface and are usually clear (unless stated) so that the appearance of the underlying floor covering remains visible.
BEFORE WE START ...
A quick look at the typical home or office below shows the many potential applications of Floortex products, each one perfectly preserving the condition of the surface it covers.

You will need either gripper backed mats for carpet or smooth back mats for hard floor and very low pile carpets-

For use on hard floors and very low pile carpets. |
 |
ANTI SLIP BACKING
Use on high-gloss floors, eg polished wood, to prevent slippage. Floortex has launched a new range of polycarbonate anti-slip mats in our Cleartex brand category |

STEP FOUR - CHOOSE A SUITABLE MATERIAL
Floortex manufacture mats in durable, clear polycarbonate and cost-effective PVC. For more information about the materials we use please click here.
 |
ORIGINAL FLOORTEX POLYCARBONATE
Durable, clear, odourless - this material is used in the manufacture of bullet-proof glass and will give longlife protection for your flooring. Original Floortex Polycarbonate is used to produce the Ultimat range. |
 |
PVC
The new Floortex formulation for PVC means that our vinyl mats are now clearer than ever. They share the same design, structure and finish as our polycarbonate range and is used in the production of our Valuemat and Advantagemant ranges. |
STEP FIVE - CHOOSE HOW YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR MATS PACKAGED
We can package your mat(s) in cartons, polybags or bulk depending on your individual requirements ... eg if you are an end user ordering from our retail site you will probably want a single mat shipped in a cardboard carton. If you are a wholesaler or dealer then a bulk packed pallet will be more appropriate.
