Winter-proof outdoor mat – maximum sure-footedness in all weathers

Put an end to dangerous slips. This professional, winter-proof safety mat is designed for year-round outdoor use and, with slip resistance class R13, meets the highest slip-resistance rating for private and commercial areas.

The benefits of our outdoor safety mat at a glance:

✅ Maximum safety: R13-tested for high slip resistance in wet and contaminated conditions; gritting and snow clearing are still required in ice and snow.
✅ Winter-proof & free-draining: the open structure lets water drain away immediately – no freezing over, no puddles.
✅ Versatile: perfect for terraces, external walkways, footpaths, ramps and steps.
✅ Long-lasting quality: UV-resistant, rot-proof and made in Germany.

🛠️ Material & structure

  • Construction: polyester/glass-fibre fabric, coated on both sides with a special PVC paste, with a slip-resistant PVC granulate surface
  • Thickness: approx. 6.0 – 7.0 mm

📎 Installation guidance

  • For smooth floors (e.g. polished stone) or mats smaller than 3 m²: fixing is recommended (e.g. screw fixing or clamping profiles). Adhesive tape can be supplied on request.
  • Do not lay on existing black ice.

✂️ Cutting to size: how to fit the mat yourself

Important: we supply the safety mat in standard sizes only – as a 10 m × 120 cm roll and as mats measuring 120 × 250 cm, 120 × 300 cm or 120 × 350 cm. We do not offer cutting to size. You cut the mat to fit your area yourself – with the right tools, this is quick to do.

What you need

  • A sturdy utility or carpet knife with a hook or trapezoid blade, plus a few spare blades
  • A steel straightedge or straight batten, tape measure and chalk or a felt-tip pen
  • A firm cutting surface, e.g. a sheet of wood or chipboard
  • Cut-resistant gloves
  • For curves and cut-outs: a cardboard template

Cutting step by step

  1. Acclimatise the mat: unroll the roll or mat and leave it to lie flat for about 24 hours, ideally at room temperature (not below approx. 15 °C). Warm material is much easier to cut and lies flat afterwards.
  2. Measure up: measure the area at several points, as walls and landings are rarely perfectly square. Make a cardboard template for irregular shapes.
  3. Mark on the back: place the mat granulate side down on the cutting surface and mark the cutting line along the straightedge. For asymmetrical shapes, lay the template mirror-inverted.
  4. Cut: press the straightedge down firmly and cut in several passes with even pressure rather than forcing the knife through in one go. Always cut away from your body and change the blade in good time – blunt blades tear the backing fabric.
  5. Round the corners: slightly round off exposed outer corners. This stops the corners from curling up and prevents trip edges.
  6. Check the edges: trim any protruding fibres or granulate residue flush with a fresh blade.
  7. Lay and fix: lay several lengths in the same direction, butted tightly together without gaps. Joints can be bonded with PVC cold welding paste. Fix pieces smaller than 3 m² and mats on very smooth substrates to the floor, e.g. with double-sided adhesive tape.

Tips for a clean result

  • Cut slightly oversize first, then trim to an exact fit – you can always trim more off, but you cannot add material back.
  • Cover areas wider than 120 cm with several lengths. Where possible, order the material in a single delivery, as slight colour variations between batches can occur due to the production process.
  • We are happy to supply suitable accessories: PVC cold welding paste, 44 g tube (Item no. DD-AK-KALTSCHWEISSPASTE-44G) and double-sided adhesive tape 38 mm × 10 m (Item no. DD-AK-KLEBEBAND-38MM-10M).
  • No cutting is needed for stairs: stair tread and angled stair tread mats are supplied ready-made.

🔒 Certified quality of the non-slip outdoor mat

  • IFA certificate: slip resistance R13, displacement space V10
  • EMPA: slip resistance GS4
  • iff: flame retardancy Bfl-s1
  • SKZ: lightfastness to DIN EN ISO 105-B06:2004-07

The open surface structure lets water drain away quickly, so no standing water forms. Thin layers of ice also break up when walked on, which increases safety. The mat is pleasantly soft underfoot and cushions impact when walking and standing. It is suitable for pushchairs, rollators and wheelchairs (but not heavy electric wheelchairs) and can stay outdoors all year round to improve slip resistance.

FAQs about non-slip outdoor mats

What do R13 and V10 mean for an outdoor mat?

R13 is the highest slip resistance class under DIN 51130, as referenced in the German workplace rules ASR A1.5. V10 indicates a large displacement space below the walking surface where water or dirt can collect. Both ratings apply to the tested version.

Does the outdoor mat need to be fixed down?

Yes – on smooth substrates or for small areas, fixing is advisable, for example with special double-sided adhesive tape. This stops the mat from shifting and creating a trip hazard.

Does the mat help in ice and snow too?

Partly – the open structure lets water drain away and reduces slipperiness, but it is no substitute for winter maintenance. The mat should not be laid on existing black ice, and gritting and snow clearing are still required.

Can I order the mat made to measure?

No. The safety mat is only available in standard sizes: as a 10 m × 120 cm roll or as mats measuring 120 × 250 cm, 120 × 300 cm or 120 × 350 cm. We do not offer cutting to size.

How do I cut the mat to size myself?

First acclimatise the mat at room temperature, then mark it on the back and cut it in several passes with a sharp utility or carpet knife along a steel straightedge. You will find the detailed step-by-step guide above.

Are there matching tread mats for outdoor stairs?

Yes – non-slip outdoor stair treads and angled tread mats are available in the same material, giving stairs and landings a uniform surface.
