Electrical Matting

Electrical Safety Matting

Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd supplies a wide range of high-quality solid rubber sheeting, including specialised electrical rubber matting. Often referred to as floor matting, safety matting, or electrical safety mats, these products are manufactured in various grades and finishes, tailored to meet the specific demands of industrial, commercial, and high-voltage environments.

Our Electrical Rubber or Electrical Safety Matting is typically supplied in continuous rolls. Still, it can also be converted into electrical rubber matting sheets or individual mats, usually in standard sizes of 1m x 1m or 2m x 1m. Thanks to our in-house conversion services, mats can be cut to bespoke shapes and sizes, making installation simple and precise.

What is Electrical Safety Matting?

Electrical rubber matting sheets act as protective floor coverings in workstations and high-voltage areas. Key benefits include:

Electrical Insulation: The rubber acts as a natural electrical insulator, reducing the risk of shocks. Ideal for plant rooms, switchboards, and areas with live electrical equipment, providing a reliable safety barrier.
Non-Slip Surface: The fine ribbed or fluted texture ensures grip and stability, helping prevent slips or falls in hazardous environments.
Customisable and Versatile: Available in multiple thicknesses and cut-to-size options, mats can be tailored for different voltages, workspace layouts, and safety requirements.

Description

Electrical safety matting stands as a paramount safety solution, ensuring the well-being of personnel operating in areas with elevated voltage levels. This specialized electrical insulating mat not only meets but exceeds the stringent safety standards set forth by IEC 61111:2009 / BS EN 61111:2009. Its design is meticulously tailored for placement in front of critical installations such as switchboards and other locales housing high-voltage equipment.

Crafted with precision and adherence to safety regulations, this rubber roll matting serves as a protective barrier, mitigating the risk associated with electrical shocks. The fine ribbed texture enhances its grip and provides an additional layer of insulation. This design is particularly advantageous in environments where safety is paramount, and the potential for electrical hazards is a constant concern.

One notable feature of this matting is its versatility, as it comes in three different thickness options. This allows for customization based on the specific requirements of the working environment. The matting is categorized to accommodate various classes of working voltage, ranging from Class 0 for lower voltage applications to Class 4 for high-voltage scenarios. This flexibility ensures that the matting is suitable for a diverse range of electrical settings.

In practical terms, the Fine Ribbed Electrical Rubber Safety Matting acts as a proactive safety measure, creating a secure workspace for individuals working in close proximity to high-voltage equipment. Its robust construction and adherence to international safety standards make it an indispensable component in maintaining a secure and compliant electrical work environment.

Why use Electrical safety matting?

Electrical Rubber Matting has been designed for use in areas where high voltage and live equipment is presently creating a risk of electric shock.

Switchboard or electrical rubber matting sheets are manufactured using rubber, which does not allow the flow of electricity (acting as an electrical insulator), it provides underfoot comfort, a non-slip surface and is available in different grades for different levels of voltage protection.

Electrical rubber matting sheets can be used where there is a risk of electrical shocks such as near switchboards, plant rooms, live equipment or machine and lift control gear, etc

Benefits of Using Electrical safety matting

Advantages of Using Electrical safety matting

Rubber sheets, including electrical rubber matting sheets, can be used for their excellent electrical insulation properties, meaning they can reduce or stop electrical currents, therefore protecting workers from electric shocks. Electrical matting sheets are available in a range of classes and thicknesses dependent upon the level of voltage involved.

The fine fluted textured pattern creates a non-slip surface which further disperses discharge with a cloth impression underside to give the matting additional grip. Electrical Rubber Matting is usually manufactured in roll form but can be cut to bespoke sized electrical rubber matting sheets or pads to fit into awkward spaces.
