Rubber Padded Mats?
 
I don't know what they're called... I asked the guy at Home Depot and
he lead me to the doormats - which I don't want.
Basically they're rubber mats one stands on to comfort his stance and
provide traction on a porentially slippery surface. I have seen them
laid out on wood planks on scaffolds.
Where would I find these? I looked in HD's ladder area, but came up
empty.

are you talking about anti-fatigue mats or stuff just for traction?

I found them once at Sam's club, but they don't always have them. An
industrial supply company will carry these.

If you're talking about those 2x2', 1/2" thick mats that snap together:
You can find them at Pepboys, Costco, or Sams. I bought about 200sft
and use them all the time to protect flooring during remodeling.

For the top of the line in anti-fatigue mats, check
www.ergomat.com

Not sure where you'd be able to buy one, though. They mainly supply
factories, hospitals and such.


If they supply hospitals it means that you will be
paying at least 3 times the price of an equal
quality product. Wholesalers/retailers to the
medical and scientific industry always price items
at a huge mark up.

The ones I saw were both. Maybe three feet by four feet - half an inch
in thickness and padded. They kept my from slipping and gave me some
padding to stand for hours.

I tried Sams' Lowe's and Home Depot - nothing.

I found traction mats full of holes and all sorts of kickass patterns,
but thats no good for me.
Bare feet are going to be on this thing - thats the problem. They're
going to be standing on this thing for a long time in bare feet.
Crap... I'm screwed.

You can ask for anti-fatique mats-- but you're more likely to score
with 'those rubber mats that fit together like puzzle pieces'.

Locally- near Albany, NY- our Sam's and Lowe's both carry them. In
Sam's they're near the tools- and in one Lowe's they are in the
seasonal aisle.
