PROBLEM FIXED
June 1st 2008

Worn, torn and unfixed floor matting is costing retailers and the public sector millions of pounds unnecessarily, according to Ben Colbourne, director of fixed matting specialist, Gripfit.

In response to a major fast food outlet’s problem of a slippery floor, with a rucked loose laid mat at the entrance areas, Colbourne designed the Gripfit fixed aluminium frame system. He says “Slips, trips and falls on flooring and matting are the most common accident hazard in public areas. They cost companies millions of pounds in litigation claims each year yet it’s one of the easiest areas to rectify simply by fixing matting securely in place in entrances and around high slip areas with our Gripfit system”.

The low profile, aluminium, fixed matting system, can be installed on any hard, level surface, to clamp mats from 5.5 to 12.5mm thick in place.
