Product Description

PVCAir is the ideal choice for high-performance, anti-slip workplace matting. Crafted with a non-porous, open-grid design, this mat resists fluid absorption and allows superior drainage, while an etched surface enhances traction for slip resistance. Designed to support employees working on their feet, PVCAir offers anti-fatigue benefits to reduce strain in workshop, factory, and industrial settings where liquid exposure and prolonged standing are concerns.

Thanks to its lightweight, tubular construction, PVCAir is simple to install, reposition, and clean, making it a convenient solution for improving workplace safety and comfort.

Installation Guide:

Prepare:
Roll out your PVCAir matting, allowing it to acclimate in a clean, dry area (up to 24 hours if needed). For faster
relaxation in cold environments, gently warm with a heat gun and apply weights.
Tools Needed:
Straight edge, connector clips, floor hooks, tape, utility knife, cold weld paste, weights, and instructions.
Measure & Cut:
Use a utility knife to trim the mat to size if needed. This matting is easy to cut in order to suit specific spaces.
Lay in Place:
PVCAir mats are designed for loose-lay installation. Lay the mats side-by-side for larger areas, ensuring they sit flush.
Connect with Clips or Joining Strips:
Use connector clips at regular intervals to secure mats together. If using joining strips, apply cold weld paste and weights, allowing 30 minutes for each side to dry. Repeat on both sides for a seamless finish.
Add Edge Trim (Optional):
For a modular mat, use PVC edging to fit around the mat. Mitre the edges at 45° for corners and apply cold weld paste. Hold with weights and allow 30 minutes to set before continuing around all sides. For durability, let the entire installation set for 24 hours.

This easy-to-follow guide ensures a secure, professional installation, enhancing workplace safety with PVCAir’s high-traction and anti-fatigue benefits.

Cleaning Instructions:

Maintaining a regular cleaning schedule will help maximise the effectiveness and longevity of your PVCAir matting.

Preparation

Begin by brushing or vacuuming the mat to remove loose debris.
Scrape any solid deposits from the surface, and use a chewing gum remover if necessary.

Hand Cleaning

Spray a suitable cleaning fluid over the matting and allow it to penetrate grease or dirt.
Use a stiff brush to work the cleaner into the surface.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Machine Cleaning

After pre-spraying with cleaning fluid, clean the top surface by using a cylindrical brush machine, moving in the direction of the ribs.
For mats with etched patterns where dirt may collect, make additional passes across the ribs for thorough cleaning.

Steam Cleaning

Any type of steam cleaner can be used. Optimal results are achieved with a nozzle pressure of about 6895 kN/m² (1000 psi) and a water temperature of 100°C.
Dilute the cleaning fluid according to the steam cleaner manufacturer’s recommendations.
For best results, spray a hot cleaning solution onto the mat, let it sit for a few minutes, then steam it off.

Degreasing

For greasy mats, such as those in food preparation areas, immerse the mat in a solution of warm water and a suitable cleaning fluid. Use the manufacturer’s recommended mix.
Allow the mat to soak until grease begins lifting from the surface.
Lightly brush the mat with a stiff bristle brush and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Recommended Cleaning Fluids: Choose a liquid cleaning fluid over powder to prevent residue build-up. Avoid powders that may leave a film on the matting surface.
