The problem--players with cleated shoes walking on constantly wet concrete and tile floors were in constant danger of slips and falls. Areas included the locker and shower rooms as well as the hallways and tunnels leading to the field of play. The problem areas ranged from 10 ft. x 20 ft. to 6 ft. x 200 ft! Whatever the product selected had to installed in a way that would allow it to be rolled and stored between games and during the off season.

The solution was our 3M™ Nomad™ Scraper Matting 8100. This matting holds up to all types of hot or cold weather. Cleats have no damaging effect on the matting.

The same material was used in the locker rooms. 3M™ Nomad™ is extremely comfortable under bare feet. Water passes through the matting, allowing for a safe, dry surface to walk on. An antimicrobial coating makes 3M™ Nomad™ ideal for locker or shower rooms.

After the first season of use, the matting is performing as expected. No slip or fall has been reported, and the 3M™ Nomad™ matting still looks as good as the day it was installed.
