Subject: Snow matting for the long winter...

Footfall snow matting

Winter can seem like a long, hard road. We were fortunate enough to experience a relatively mild November, but recent chilly weather and snow showers have left us in no doubt that winter has now arrived.

Footfall has a range of products to help you prepare for the winter months ahead. Our snow matting is 23mm deep and comes in tiles that are 0.5m². The tiles, together with ramped safety edging, create a fixed exterior matting solution that will help to reduce the ingress of snow and slush into your home or business. This offers significant benefits in terms of safety, cleaning, and maintenance costs.

For more information about Snow matting, and how it could benefit your business, call the Footfall team on 01 2194604 or send us an email
