If your employees are standing for long hours in the day, they could be at risk, when it comes to their future health. Tired muscles, circulation issues, lower back pain - these are a few of the health problems they may face. These issues, if not prevented, can lead to drops in productivity, and increased employee absenteeism. That's why you need anti-fatigue mats and standing desk mats to help make your office comfortable, and a place of wellness.
But how do they work? Anti-fatigue mats work by providing a cushioned surface that encourages subtle foot movement as you stand on them. This movement helps to stimulate circulation in the lower legs by engaging the muscles, causing them to contract and expand. By doing so, the mats ease the strain and pressure that standing for extended periods can put on the body. The supportive cushioning of these mats is particularly beneficial for areas of the lower body that experience pressure from long periods of standing, such as the feet, ankles, and lower joints. By giving relief to these areas, anti-fatigue mats can significantly reduce discomfort, even ultimately helping to prevent the lower back pain that can come from hours standing on hard surfaces. Anti-fatigue mats can be used in workstations, commercial kitchens, reception desks, bar floors, and factories. That's just to name a few. If you have employees that stand all day, you need anti-fatigue mats for your business.
Each standing desk mat from AJ Products is made from pliant, shock-absorbent materials including rubber, nitrile, vinyl and PVC. Each is designed to withstand as much foot traffic as possible, for extended wear, and a long life.
Just to be sure, you should regularly check your mats for general wear, frayed edges or broken surfaces. Additionally, you should regularly keep an eye on the cushioning. You can do this by adding weight to the mat, and if the cushioning returns to its original shape after the weight is removed, your mat is still in good shape. If not, it's time for a replacement. We provide a 7-year guarantee on all of our anti-fatigue mats.
Our anti-fatigue mats are lightweight and easy to move around, from counter areas in shops, to desks in offices, wherever your employees spend most of their time standing while working.
Our anti-fatigue mats are non-slip, for extra safety at the workplace.
When your mats have seen better days, it's quick and easy to clean them. A quick wipe-down with a damp cloth or a mop will get them back into tip-top shape – and that's all there is to it. No need for chemicals or strong cleaning solutions – in fact, we advise against these as they can seriously damage the fabric and inner cushioning of your mat. Remember, make sure your mat is completely dry before using it again.
Investing in our standing desk mats isn't just about improving comfort; it's a proactive step towards safeguarding employee health and enhancing productivity. Not what you're looking for?
