Kitchen Mats for every application - Home, Restaurant, Hotel, Cafeteria, Healthcare

When considering which type of kitchen matting would work best in your commercial kitchen, one should take into consideration just how much abuse the kitchen mats will need to withstand. The challenge is to find kitchen mats that will serve the needs of those in the workplace and enhance their working environment. Issues like comfort, ease of maintenance, safety, drainage and tolerance for animal fats and chemicals need to be addressed.

Animal fats and oils associated with frying areas and bakeries tend to cause a serious degradation to most kitchen floor mats unless they are a rubber. Nitrile rubber kitchen mats or rubber mats with an added grease resistance will perform much better in a commercial kitchen environment than any kitchen matting that is made up of a vinyl. Vinyl mats are good for certain abusive environments, but should not be used in areas subjected to animal fats. It goes without saying that carpet mats should not be utilized as kitchen mats where food is being prepared as the fibers provide a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Many municipalities levy fines on restaurants that use carpet mats as kitchen mats.
