Vinyl Matting, And Floor Runner Mats Usage

Runner vinyl matting is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of applications. Most people think of using a floor runner mat for floor protection, and as additional traction on smooth or polished floors. That is actually how much of it is used. However, the material is so versatile that we sell it for many other applications including: shelf and drawer liners, work-surface protection, locker liners and even as a floorboard covering in tow motors.
