Anti-Fatigue Floor Tiles

Anti fatigue floor tiles are cushioned tiles that join together to cover a standing area, taking the hardness out of concrete for people who stand for long periods. Unlike a single mat, tiles can cover a whole line or bar area in one surface. They can be cut to fit around equipment.

Interlocking anti fatigue mats are better where people move along a line or between stations, because they leave no gaps or edges to step over. Single mats are simpler for one fixed position. For a mix, use tiles along the line and a single mat at a separate station.

For most standing work, 10mm to 15mm rubber tiles give a good balance of cushion and stability. Thicker tiles of 20mm or more feel softer but can make trolleys harder to push. The 24mm EVA tiles are the softest option here and suit areas without wheeled traffic.

Yes, interlocking tiles work well behind a bar because they cover the whole working strip and can be lifted for cleaning. The bar kitchen anti fatigue mat is another option, with a non-trip edge. In wet areas, choose tiles or mats that are easy to lift and hose down.

Fit edge strips along any open side of the tiled area, so the edge slopes down to the floor. Several single mats here, such as the bar kitchen mat, have a non-trip edge built in. Replace any tile or mat whose edge has started to lift or curl.

Yes, rubber and EVA anti fatigue tiles can be cut with a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. Mark the shape of the machine base on the tile first, then cut in several passes. Leave a small gap around machine feet so the tiles can be lifted for cleaning.

Sweep or vacuum daily, then mop with warm water and a mild detergent. For a deeper clean, unclip the tiles and wash them, along with the floor beneath, which also clears any grit that has worked under the joins. Let both dry fully before relaying the tiles.

EVA tiles are soft and light, which suits standing areas without heavy tools, trolleys or sharp debris. In workshops and production areas where items are dropped or wheels cross the floor, rubber tiles are more durable. EVA is also easier to lift and move for cleaning.

The foam-backed anti fatigue mat measures 90cm x 60cm and has a checker surface. It suits a single standing position at a counter, bench or sink. For larger areas, interlocking tiles or the 3ft x 5ft rubber mats cover more floor.

No, interlocking anti fatigue tiles hold together and stay in place under their own weight, so they can be lifted and moved when the layout changes. Edge strips help hold the outer row still. In areas with wheeled traffic, tape along the outer edge stops the tiles creeping.
