We’ve always used timber mats or gravel pads - why should we switch to composite mats?
We’ve always used timber mats or gravel pads - why should we switch to composite mats?
Composite mats deliver major advantages over timber and gravel:
- Durability: Unlike timber, they don’t split, rot, or absorb moisture.
- Safety: Slip-resistant surfaces reduce accidents, even in wet conditions.
- Lower Total Cost: Composite mats can be reused on multiple jobs for years, cutting replacement and disposal costs.
- Efficiency: Lightweight and easy to handle, they reduce labor and equipment needs during installation.
- Environmental Protection: Unlike gravel pads, they minimize ground damage, avoid contamination, and leave little to no cleanup.
Simply put - composite mats save time, money, and hassle while protecting your reputation on site.
