To prevent students slipping in the showers, the University of Manchester turned to specialist matting manufacturer Plastic Extruders. Its suggestion was to install Heronrib, following a previous solution for a similar concern at the University of Sussex.

Not only does the matting provide a safe and anti-slip surface, it is very hardwearing yet comfortable to stand on. Importantly, the antibacterial and anti-fungal sanitised additives ensure it is hygienic for bare feet and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Heronrib is normally supplied in 10m roll format but for this project Plastex manufactured individual and correctly sized modules which could be quickly installed in the showers.
