Tuff Spun is one of a range of anti-fatigue mattings, launched by Plastic Extruders Ltd (Plastex).  The matting provides an effective solution designed to meet a health initiative of The Trades Union Congress.  This is aimed at encouraging employers to improve the health of employees who normally stand for long periods on hard floors

Tuff Spun comprises high quality closed cell PVC foam with a ribbed slip resistant surface which induces muscle flexing in the legs and calf, improves personal well-being and significantly reduces standing fatigue.  University research for Plastex on standing fatigue showed a 10% reduction in just one hour.  The matting is recommended for all areas where workers must stand, such as workstations, packaging and processing areas. Tuff Spun Plus is similar but with yellow edges for safety demarcation. 

Another variation is Tuff Spun Wear which has a pebbled wear surface layer and extra thick cushioning below. This matting is recommended for medium duty retail and commercial use.  Typical applications are behind sales counters and at cash-desks, work stations and alongside benches.

The anti-fatigue mattings, in black and dark grey, are available in module sizes of 60 x 91cm, 91x 150cm and 91 x 300cm; Tuff Spun is also available in 18m long rolls   They are easy to cut and shape and will provide a seamless one piece covering of large areas.
