24/Seven® Open Grid CFR - Interlocking Rubber Floor Tiles by Wearwell

Q: What does GR stand for?

A: GR stands for Grease Resistant.

Q: What types of fluids is the GR compound resistant to?

A: The GR compound is best suited for areas with water and dry debris. It is also resistant to boric acid & ethylene glycol.

Q: What does CFR stand for?

A: CFR stands for Cutting Fluid Resistant.

Q: What types of fluids is the CFR compound resistant to?

A: The CFR compound is resistant to mineral oil-based fluids. It is also resistant to silicone-based brake fluid, boric acid & ethylene glycol.

Q: What does NBR stand for?

A: NBR stands for Nitrile Rubber.

Q: What types of fluids is the NBR compound resistant to?

A: The NBR compound is resistant to silicone-based brake fluid, boric acid, ethylene glycol, animal fats, brake fluid, chlorine solution, diesel oil, petroleum-based hydraulic oil, salt water and vegetable oil.

Q: Is there edging available?

A: Yes, 3" edging is available in both yellow and black for 24/Seven. Edging comes in both male and female to correspond with the male or female side of the mat. Edging comes in 3" wide by 39" long strips.

Q: Can 24/Seven mats be exposed to liquids?

A: Yes, 24/Seven mats can be placed in both wet and dry environments.

Q: How do I clean 24/Seven?

A: Use a high-pressure hose (not to exceed 500 psi) and hot water (max 160o F) to rid the mats of oils. For best results use a mild soap or detergent with a pH between 4 and 9, to clean the mats. Do not use steam (unless specifically recommended), degreasers, or caustic chemicals. Do not machine wash or mechanically scrub the mats.

Q: Can you customize a mat to my specific requirements?

A: Yes we can. We offer 3 types of customization:

C1- Custom lengths

C2- Custom lengths and widths

C3- Fully custom (size & shape)

The level of customization by product is on the details tab at the bottom of every product page.

Q: Are the colors shown on your website the exact color I should expect to receive?

A: No, because monitors vary so there may be a slight variance in the color. If color choice is critical, we suggest that you order a sample. Due to manufacturing processes and material dye lots, color can vary, but our products fall within an industry-standard acceptable variation.

Q: Do 24/Seven mats pose a tripping hazard?

A: 24/Seven mats are available with 3" edging in yellow and black. The ramps allow for a smooth transition on and off the mat and do not pose a tripping hazard.

Q: Do your rubber mats smell?

A: Yes! Unfortunately, that rubbery smell is a feature of any rubber product. The mat should lose that smell over time. If you are planning to install rubber mats or flooring in any enclosed space, please remember that this can slow the dissipation of a strong rubber scent.

Q: What size anti-fatigue mat do I need for my workstation?

A: Measure your standing area and add 12–18 inches on each side where possible. For a typical machine operator position, a 3 × 3 foot open grid interlocking rubber floor tile provides adequate coverage. Moreover, interlocking rubber mats for factory floor applications can be expanded with additional tiles to support assembly lines or multi-person work cells.

Q: How to choose industrial floor mats for areas with mineral oil exposure?

A: To choose industrial floor mats for areas with mineral oil exposure, match the compound to your fluid type. The CFR compound handles mineral oil-based cutting fluids, making it the best industrial anti-fatigue floor mats for workshop areas with metalworking operations. The open grid design provides drainage while the CFR material resists chemical degradation.

Q: When should I use drainage rubber mats instead of solid surface rubber mats?

A: Open grid (drainage) rubber mats allow fluids to flow through, preventing pooling and maintaining traction in oily areas. Solid surface mats contain spills on top. So, for machine shops with cutting fluids, the open grid design works better as a non-slip mat for oily surfaces.

Q: Are these anti-fatigue mats suitable for standing workers in industrial facilities?

A: Yes, this anti-fatigue mat for standing workers in industrial facility environments provides cushioning that reduces leg and back fatigue during extended shifts. The 5/8" thickness, combined with chemical resistance, makes them ideal for workers at standing workstations in manufacturing operations.
