Every
Barefoot
® module is
beveled for safety. Each module interlocks. A single Barefoot
module can be used as a "mat," or connected modules will make runners and cover
entire floors. You can make narrow or wide runners, 90-degree turns, T- or
off-center intersections, U-turns...
Connecting Mats: Simply align the Barefoot
® mats, with the cavity of one over the interlocking strip of the other. Make sure
the corners are touching. Then gently tap the units together, starting at one
corner. The interlocking system is self-aligning. It is easy to make two mats
zip-lock together.
Finishing the
Edge: Barefoot
® is designed to leave a finished edge in every application. The interlocking
strip can be removed to leave bevels around the outside of your flooring area. A
few light passes with a utility knife cuts through the high-quality rubber and
permanently removes the interlocking strip, so be sure not to remove it until
you are certain you don't need it.
Comes in 3 grades and 2 forms
Standard Grade: High quality EPDM rubber. Fair resistance to foodservice oils and animal fats. Excellent for most applications that do not come in contact with petroleum derivatives and harsh chemicals.
Industrial Grade: Quality blended Nitrile rubber with a high degree of oil resistance. Excellent for manufacturing plants and machine shops where exposure to shop oils can degrade standard rubber.
Conductive/ESD: Specially compounded EPDM rubber for the electronics industry. Each module is certified to be from 1x104 to 1x106 ohms surface to ground resistance.

What others have said about Barefoot®
"Thanks for the BEST ergonomic mat I have ever
set foot on."
Gary A Greenquist, Safety Coordinator, S.C.Johnson Wax
"Operators love it and don't feel
fatigued after a ten hour shift. Complaints
about lower leg and foot pain have dramatically reduced with
this mat."
Tony Hayes, Ergonomics Facilitator, Ford Motor Co.
"Barefoot is a significant improvement over the
prior floor mats used within the
facility. The ergonomics are noticeably superior."
Ken Beutler, Space
Flight Operations Facility, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
"I just wanted to take this time to
thank you for Barefoot. We have tested many
different types of mats, but found yours to be the best in
comfort, durability and
ease of use. It makes a big difference."
Judy Lunz, Safety staff, Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc.
"In twenty-five years no mat has
received the immediate approval that
Disney World® gave Barefoot. Barefoot is the best mat we
have ever sold, and I'd be happy to
discuss it with anyone who called."

8-Year Warranty: Barefoot will retain its exceptional ergonomic
performance for
8 years. Oil and Chemical
Resistance / Nitrile compound: In areas that are exposed to grease
and oil, use Nitrile rubber. Nitrile rubber (acrylonitrile butadiene
rubber) has resistance to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, acid
and alkali. Examples include motor oil, hydraulic oil and petroleum
greases and paint thinner. Nitrile rubber performs poorly when
exposed to oxygenated solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Examples include MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) methylene chloride,
xylene and bleach. Please inquire about specific applications. Mats
in oily areas must be properly maintained. Warranty is pro-rated
from time of purchase. Warranty does not cover misuse of product
such as heavy fork-lift traffic, spiked shoes or lack of
maintenance.
