Benefits of DuraDeck Mats

• Inert Material – Will does not leach any chemicals from or into the surrounding ground. Even if fuel or other contaminants get spilled onto the mats, they can be cleaned ready to go to another site.
• Strong – Our systems are capable of taking traffic from everything from a wheelbarrow to a large tracked vehicle.
• Improved traction – The surface of the mat is covered in a friction-enhancing pattern to give vehicles small and large the traction they need even on inclines.
• Non-conductive – These ground protection mats do not conduct electricity, which is ideal for working on electrical utilities.
• Quickly lock together – With various locking types and overlaps your mats will stay in place and will not separate. Keeping mud underneath and the topside clean.
• Suitable for all elements – We have tested our mats thoroughly in all climates, you can be sure that they will not crack in the cold, or deteriorate in the heat.
• Recyclable – The durable material that these mats are made from is not only exceptionally hard wearing it is also easily and readily recycled.

Problems With Timber Mats

• Water absorbent – Wooden mats can absorb water to the point that their weight can double, making them more dangerous to install and remove and even harder to transport. It is not uncommon for them to stick in mud so badly that they have to remain on-site permanently.
• Expensive – Whether renting or buying you will find that wooden mats have many hidden costs. Be it excessive transportation costs or getting charged for stuck or damaged units.
• Heavy – Wooden mats are so weighty that only a small number can be transported on one semi-truck, and they only get heavier once on-site and exposed to the elements.
• Cross-contamination – As these mats are not inert they can absorb oils, fungus, seeds, bacteria, or any number of other contaminants from a work site. These contaminants can then contaminate the next site at which they are installed.
• Extreme Transport Costs – With only a small number on a vehicle it is not uncommon for solid wood mats to have so many delivery vehicles required during their installation that the vehicles themselves damage the temporary roadway and surroundings.
