Our unique Parts-Saver Construction saves components and minimizes breakage and damage to dropped parts. Pick Sure Base™ for greater productivity, protection and profits!
DROPPED PARTS
Broken parts cost money. Sure Base™ will reduce the losses incurred, when dropped parts become broken parts.
#1: Impact Absorption
The deep, resilient tufts cushion and protect dropped objects from damage on impact. Tests prove an 11% improvement on impact absorption over other tested surfaces, due to our unique Parts-Saver Construction.
#2: Compression Protection
In addition, Sure Base™ will protect dropped parts from compression damage. Deep tufts in the matting fibers trap small items and will prevent them from being crushed underfoot. It's a fact: Sure Base™ provides nearly a 27% increase in protection over hard surfaces!

The sure answer for all your needs in industrial matting.
There are four major areas in which Sure Base™ Industrial Matting will provide returns for your business, including: greater productivity, greater protection, and greater profitability!
Sure Base™ on your workplace floor will prevent or minimize: 1) Breakage and damage of parts and components, 2) Damaging effects of fatigue, 3) Slipping and 4) Chemical damage
Sure Base™ has been extensively tested and its effectiveness proven in numerous independent lab and university studies. Sure Base™ is the only sure answer for all of your industrial matting needs. It's a complete solution - and here's why your workplace shouldn't be without it ...
Fatigue
Worker's fatigue is detrimental in more ways than one. Standing up on hard surfaces for extended periods of time can cause permanent physical damage, lowered morale, decreased productivity, and increased medical and workman's compensation claims.
The superior resiliency and elasticity of Sure Base™ reduces perceived fatigue by 44% over hard flooring. That equates to a huge difference in productivity and an increase in profits!
