Mats
OctoCell Matting — Overview
The OCM035 OctoCell mat is a heavy-duty safety and floor mat designed to create a more secure, comfortable standing and walking surface in demanding environments. Its raised, open-cell structure helps keep the surface underfoot more stable by allowing debris and moisture to move away from the contact area, supporting safer footing and easier day-to-day upkeep.
Supplied as a single mat (with pack options available), OctoCell matting is commonly selected for workplaces and facilities that need a practical, hard-wearing mat solution that can be positioned where it’s needed and lifted for cleaning when required.
Key Features
Open-cell surface for drainage and debris management:
The distinctive cell pattern is designed to let liquids and loose debris fall through the surface area, helping to reduce the chance of standing water and improving traction in wet or messy zones.
Comfort underfoot for standing tasks:
The mat’s thickness and structure provide a more forgiving surface than bare concrete or hard flooring, which can help reduce fatigue in areas where people stand for extended periods.
Heavy-duty, practical floor protection:
Placed in high-traffic or work zones, the mat can help protect the underlying floor from scuffs and wear while providing a defined working area.
Easy to position and reconfigure:
Because it is supplied as a mat rather than a permanent floor finish, it can be moved, rotated, or relocated as layouts change—ideal for evolving workspaces.
Suitable for a wide range of environments:
OctoCell-style matting is often used in industrial, commercial, and back-of-house settings where slip resistance, drainage, and durability are priorities.
- Drainage-focused open-cell design to help keep the top surface clearer
- Comfortable standing surface for workstations and walkways
- Hard-wearing mat format that can be lifted for cleaning
- Helps define safer zones in wet or high-traffic areas
- Simple deployment—place where needed without complex installation
Typical Uses
- Workstations where staff stand for long periods
- Entrances, back-of-house corridors, and service areas
- Wet zones where water may be present (subject to site assessment)
- Areas where debris is tracked in and needs to be managed
- General floor protection in busy operational spaces
OCM035 OctoCell Matting — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right safety mat is about matching the mat’s structure to the conditions on site. OctoCell matting is built around an open-cell profile that prioritises drainage and grip, making it a strong option for facilities that need a robust mat that performs in everyday use.
How It Works
The open-cell pattern creates raised contact points for footwear while leaving voids between them. In practice, this means moisture and small debris can move away from the top surface rather than remaining where people step. This design approach is commonly used for safety matting in operational areas where floors can become wet or dirty during normal work.
Materials and Construction
This product is listed in the Safety / Floor Mats category and is supplied as a standalone mat. The OctoCell-style construction uses a structured, cellular profile intended to balance durability with underfoot comfort. For exact material composition, chemical resistance, or fire performance requirements, please confirm suitability for your site conditions before installation.
Floor Type Compatibility
As a loose-laid mat, OctoCell matting is typically placed on stable, level flooring. It can be used to improve footing on hard surfaces and to protect the floor beneath in high-use zones. For best results, ensure the underlying surface is clean and free from loose contaminants that could affect stability.
Health and Safety
Safety matting should be selected and installed as part of a broader site risk assessment. Consider slip risks, trip edges, cleaning routines, and the surrounding environment. Where required, position the mat so it sits flat and does not create an avoidable trip hazard, and ensure it is maintained so the surface remains effective.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
- Wet process areas: where water may be present and drainage is beneficial
- Back-of-house operations: service corridors, prep zones, and utility areas
- Workstations: standing tasks where comfort and grip are important
- Entrances and transition points: where debris and moisture are tracked in
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Routine maintenance is straightforward: lift the mat as needed, remove trapped debris from beneath, and clean the mat surface in line with your site’s hygiene requirements. In wet or dirty environments, more frequent cleaning helps maintain traction and appearance. Allow the mat to dry fully before returning it to service where appropriate.
Case Study (Example Scenario)
Problem: A busy back-of-house corridor experiences frequent wet footprints and tracked-in debris, increasing slip risk and cleaning time.
Solution: OctoCell matting is placed in the highest-traffic section to provide a raised, open-cell walking surface that allows moisture and debris to move away from the contact area.
Outcome: Staff report improved underfoot confidence, and cleaning teams find it easier to clear debris by lifting and rinsing the mat as part of routine maintenance.
Who is it for?
- Facilities managers seeking a practical safety mat for operational areas
- Warehouses and workshops needing a durable, easy-to-maintain mat
- Commercial premises looking to improve footing in wet or messy zones
- Teams that need a mat solution that can be moved as layouts change
