Description:
3M™ Safety-Walk™ Wet Area
Matting 3200 is a floor matting having
a flexible vinyl open mesh structure.
The open mesh structure allows water
to run through the matting so the
surface stays drier than the
surrounding area.
The resilient surface is comfortable for
bare feet, while the vinyl is formulated
for resistance to chlorinated water,
body oils, fungus, mildew and UV
radiation.
Product Positioning:
For use in bare foot traffic areas to
help provide slip resistant footing.
Typical applications include locker
rooms, corridors and the areas around
saunas and showers.

Not recommended in showers or in
areas exposed to direct water.
