Temporary Walkway Mats

Temporary walkway mats are designed to create safe pedestrian routes through construction zones, outdoor events, or other high-traffic areas. They protect the ground from damage while providing a stable and non-slip surface for walking. Temporary walkways help reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls, ensuring safety in areas with uneven terrain or soft ground. Available in various sizes and materials, temporary walkway mats are a versatile solution for both short-term and long-term use.

About Temporary Walkway Mats

Temporary walkway mats have a variety of uses, ensuring safety and protecting the ground across a range of situations.

These mats are specifically designed to create stable, safe routes for pedestrians in all conditions. They can protect both outdoor and indoor surfaces from damage.

Whether you’re looking to create a walkway across uneven or boggy terrain, or form a pathway through a construction site, temporary walkway mats are ideal. They’re easy to deploy, often requiring no tools, yet provide a robust surface for pedestrians. They are easy to lift and position, while ramped edges allow for seamless wheelchair access.

100% recycled, anti-slip, and hard-wearing materials ensure that the mats remain safe for pedestrians, regardless of the conditions they are deployed in or how long they’ve been in use. By using temporary walkway mats, you’re reducing the risk of trips, slips, and falls.

Uses for Temporary Walkway Mats

Construction sites

Busy construction sites can lead to damaged surfaces if proper ground protection is not in place. The use of temporary walkway mats on these sites can prevent soft ground from becoming boggy and unsafe, and offer workers a safe route in all weather conditions.

Outdoor events

Temporary walkway mats are often deployed at outdoor events like festivals and concerts, as large amounts of foot traffic can quickly damage the ground and cause it to become unsafe. These walkways can also provide a safe route over uneven terrain, allowing pedestrians to move freely across event sites.

Temporary footpaths

Temporary footpaths are often required while permanent footpaths are undergoing repair work. In these cases, deploying temporary walkway mats can provide pedestrians an alternative, safe route while the repairs are carried out.

Indoor flooring

Temporary walkway mats may also be deployed in indoor settings due to their protective characteristics. They can prevent flooring from being damaged by tools or equipment, and provide a surface that minimises the risk of slips or trips.

Key factors to consider when purchasing temporary walkway mats

There are a number of things you should consider when deciding which temporary walkway mat is best suited to your needs. Keep these factors in mind when making a purchase.

Function

Consider what the temporary walkway mats are going to be used for, and what the primary risks are in the environment they are being deployed in. Different mats have different ratings for things like slip resistance, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and UV resistance. There’s also a rating for anti fatigue level, which can reduce discomfort and strain. The higher the rating, the better.

Dimensions

Be sure to review the dimensions of the mat, double checking it will be wide enough to create the walkway you require. Review the length too to ensure you order the correct number of mats for your needs.

Deployment

Consider how the temporary walkway mat is deployed and transported. Many can be lifted by hand using handholds, though sometimes you might need two people to move them. Some will have interlocking mechanisms, while others may require clips that are sold separately.

Wheelchair access

If your temporary walkway mat is going to be utilised by wheelchair users, or wheeled trollies for example, you will need to be sure it’s compatible. Some mats will have access ramps to allow wheels to easily roll onto them.
