Go Green! 100% Recycled for L.E.E.D. Credits. The AlertMat® is made from Styrene Butadine, which is the same rubber compound used by the auto and truck tire companies throughout the world. Mixed into the rubber compound are nylon, rayon and polyester fibers that give AlertMat® superior strength and wearability. Ultra-violet inhibitors and anti-oxidant compounds are added as well, giving AlertMat® excellent sun and abrasion resistance to assure you years of dependable and durable service.

Guaranteed for Years of Service
Over 30-years Experience
AlertMat® is virtually indestructible. Since 1973, the same rubber materials that are used to make AlertMat&® have been used as: truck-bed liners, cattle stall floors, horse trailer mats, livestock wash racks, weight-room mats, wheel flaps, V-belts and more.

100% Recycled Material! Many state purchasing codes give preferential treatment to bids that utilize recycled products.
The rubber compounds that make AlertMat® are 100% recycled materials, and are by-products of various tire and other mechanical rubber goods manufacturers. These compounds are "virgin" materials, so when each mat is molded, or vulcanized, the rubber forms a homogeneous mixture that will not tear, crack, break, crumble or separate, even after years of service.

* After one minute of sand blasting using silica sand, a two-inch nozzle-to-surface distance, one quater-inch internal nozel diameter and 80-pound air pressure. [ Result: 0.00 ]
** Test involved dropping a two-pound steel ball weight from a eight-foot height at ambient, cold (-30 degrees F) and hot (+120 degrees F) temperatures exposure was 48 hours. [ Result: No Mark ]
- What is ADA Compliant?

- What Are Truncated Domes?
Truncated domes have a unique design that can be detected underfoot and with a cane, and other surfaces are not considered ADA equivalent and therefore do not comply with the ADA requirements.
- What Are Detectable Warnings?
Detectable warnings, a distinctive surface pattern of domes detectable by cane or underfoot, are used to alert people with vision impairments of their approach to streets and hazardous drop-offs. The ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) require these warnings on the surface of curb ramps, which remove a tactile cue otherwise provided by curb faces, and at other areas where pedestrian ways blend with vehicular ways. They are also required along the edges of boarding platforms in transit facilities and the perimeter of reflecting pools.
