What Vynagrip does before someone slips on a wet deck

Around a pool, in a locker room, or behind a wet bar, the floor is the part of the room you stop noticing — right up until a foot goes out from under someone. It's easy to assume a textured tile or a quick wipe-down has it covered. The trouble is that water has nowhere to go on a flat surface, so it sits in a thin film exactly where people walk barefoot or in wet shoes.

Vynagrip is built to break that film. Its open-grid surface lets water drain straight through to the floor below, so the top of the mat stays in contact with feet instead of with a puddle. The raised diamond tread gives shoes and bare skin something to bite into. That combination is what separates a real non-slip pool mat from one that only looks grippy while it's dry.

A slick pool deck or wet-area floor isn't a small problem. The National Floor Safety Institute points to wet, hard floors as one of the most common settings for slip-and-fall injuries, and a busy deck or beverage station sees a steady stream of wet feet all day. Matting that keeps traction underfoot while the water disappears below is doing safety work, not decoration.

Why an open-grid PVC build, and why this one

Vynagrip is made from flexible, non-porous PVC in a two-layer, open-grid construction. Non-porous matters more than it sounds. Because water and spills can't soak into the material, the mat doesn't hold moisture the way a fabric or foam surface would — so it won't turn into a home for bacteria or mildew in a damp pool area or shower room.

The two-layer grid is what makes the drainage work. Water passes through the open pattern on top and clears out underneath, so the walking surface stays usable even when the deck around it is soaked. On traction, the surface is rated R11 under DIN 51130 and scores 72–88 wet on the ASTM E303 pendulum test — strong numbers for a barefoot, wet-area mat.

It's also tougher than a pool mat strictly needs to be, which is the point: it holds up. The PVC resists most acids, alkalines, and oils, and it stays workable across a wide temperature range, from well below freezing up to 140°F. The two-layer build adds a little give underfoot too, so standing on it for a while is easier on your legs than standing on bare concrete.

Where it belongs — and what it isn't

Vynagrip earns its place anywhere water and foot traffic meet. Think pool decks and the walkway from the pool to the locker room, shower and changing areas, the floor behind a poolside bar or beverage station, and wet work zones in kitchens, food service, and refrigerated spaces. In each of these, the same job repeats: drain the water, keep the grip.

It helps to be clear about what this mat is not. It's a walk-on surface mat, not a flotation device, and it's not the liner-protector cloth that goes underneath an above-ground pool. If you're looking for a mat to put under a pool or a float for in the water, this isn't that product. Vynagrip works on top of the deck, under your feet — whether that deck is concrete, tile, or paver.

One honest note for outdoor use: the PVC itself resists sun degradation, but the red color isn't colorfast in constant direct sunlight, so a red mat in full sun will fade over time. For exposed outdoor decks, the darker colors are the safer pick. In shaded or indoor wet areas, color holds up fine.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

Vynagrip is straightforward to order, but three things decide whether you get the right setup the first time.

First, decide between rolls and modules. Rolls come in 33-foot lengths and standard widths, and they're easy to cut to fit on site — the right call for covering a long deck or an open wet-area floor. Modules arrive pre-cut with finished ramped edging on three sides, so they sit cleanly against a wall or workstation without a trip lip.

Second, match the format to your edges. An open run of matting in the middle of a floor is one thing; a mat people step onto from a dry surface is another. Where a clean transition matters — a doorway, the edge of a bar, the lip of a shower — ramped edging keeps the change in height gentle, so the mat itself doesn't become the thing someone trips on.

Third, plan for sun and heat. Outdoors, choose a darker color and keep the red for shaded or indoor spots. Also know that PVC can shrink slightly — up to about 2% — and heat speeds that up, so on a hot, exposed deck, leave a little room at fixed edges rather than butting the mat tight wall to wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vynagrip actually made of, and why does that matter near water?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It's a flexible, non-porous PVC mat built in two layers, with an open-grid top and a diamond tread. The non-porous part is the key for wet areas — water and spills can't soak in, so the mat doesn't stay damp or trap the bacteria and mildew that build up on surfaces holding moisture. The open grid lets water drain straight through instead of pooling on top, which is what keeps the walking surface grippy when everything around it is wet.

How slip-resistant is it when the deck is soaking wet?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Wet traction is exactly what it's built for. The surface is rated R11 on the DIN 51130 ramp test and scores 72–88 wet on the ASTM E303 pendulum test, both of which point to strong grip with water present. It also drains at the V10 level, so water keeps moving off the top rather than sitting under your feet. On top of that, the PVC shrugs off most acids, alkalines, and oils and works from below freezing up to 140°F, so a hot deck or a chemical splash won't break it down.

Does it come in rolls or tiles, and can I get a custom size?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Both. You can order it as a roll in 33-foot lengths and 2-, 3-, or 4-foot widths, which you cut to fit on site — good for long decks and open floors. Or you can order modules at 4' x 2'5" or 5' x 3' that arrive with finished ramped edging on three sides, ready to drop against a wall or bar. If your space is an odd shape, custom sizes are available on request.

Can I use this outside around the pool, or is it really an indoor mat?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, VP of Marketing

It works in both, and the pool deck is one of its best homes. Outdoors it handles weather and a wide temperature swing without getting brittle, so it's at ease on an open deck, a poolside path, or a shower and changing area. The one thing to plan for outside is sun: pick a darker color for spots in constant direct sunlight, since the red can fade out there over time. Indoors and in shade, any color holds up.

What does it look like, and what colors can I get?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, VP of Marketing

It has a clean, open diamond-grid look that reads as purposeful rather than busy — like it belongs in a working wet area, not like an afterthought. It comes in black and red as standard. Black is the easy choice for hiding the bits of grit and debris a pool deck collects, while red can mark off a zone or add a little contrast. Just remember the red is best kept out of full, constant sun.

My deck has an awkward layout — will this actually fit it?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, VP of Marketing

Most likely, yes, and that's one of its strengths. Because the rolls cut easily on site, you can shape a run around steps, drains, ladders, and corners instead of forcing your space to match a fixed mat size. For built-in spots like a bar floor or a recessed changing area, the modules with ramped edges give you a finished look. And if nothing standard works, you can have it made to a custom size to fit the exact footprint you've got.

What Versa Runner does before water and grime turn a floor slick

In a wet area, the floor problem usually isn't the water you can see — it's the thin, greasy film that builds up where water mixes with whatever else is on the ground. You might figure a solid rubber mat handles it. The catch is that a solid mat traps that film on top, right where feet land, so the surface that's supposed to help can end up just as slick.

Versa Runner takes a different route. Its surface is cut with slotted perforations, so water and grime drain straight through instead of pooling on top. Side-to-side scraper ribs and a knobbed top give shoes something to grab, and the ribbed underside channels liquid out from beneath the mat. The result is a non-slip surface that keeps working while the floor around it stays wet.

A slick wet-area floor is one of the most common places people get hurt. The National Floor Safety Institute ties wet, hard floors to a large share of slip-and-fall injuries, and a pool deck, locker room, or wet work zone feeds that risk all day. A mat that drains the water away and holds traction underfoot is doing real safety work.

Why nitrile rubber, and why this one

Versa Runner is made from 100% nitrile rubber, and that choice does a lot of quiet work. Nitrile shrugs off grease, oils, and animal fats that would soften or break down lesser rubber, so the mat keeps its shape and grip in tough conditions. For a wet area that also sees cleaning chemicals or kitchen runoff, that chemical resistance is what keeps it from going gummy or brittle.

It's also built with a MicroStop anti-microbial compound, which inhibits the bacteria and fungi that love to settle into damp, warm spots like pool surrounds and shower floors. Pair that with the through-draining slotted surface and you get a mat that doesn't sit in its own moisture. At 3/8" thick, it stays low enough that carts and wheeled traffic roll on and off without catching an edge.

The same build that drains also cushions. The ribbed underside adds a measure of give, so standing on it for a stretch is easier on the legs than standing on bare concrete or tile. And because nitrile is genuinely durable, the mat takes foot traffic, rolling loads, and repeated wash-downs without falling apart — it's made to stay in service, not to be replaced every season.

Where it belongs — and what it isn't

Versa Runner belongs wherever a floor stays wet and people keep moving. Around a pool that means the service and back-of-house zones as much as the deck itself: the bar or concession floor, the path into the locker room, shower and changing areas, and equipment or pump rooms. It's just as at home in kitchens, food-prep areas, and other wet work zones where grease and water share the floor.

It's worth being clear about what this mat is not. It's a walk-on drainage runner, not a flotation mat and not the liner-protector sheet that goes under an above-ground pool. If you came looking for a mat to put under a pool or a float for the water, this isn't it. Versa Runner works on top of the floor, under your feet, on concrete, tile, or a finished deck.

One honest note: this is a rubber mat built for service and work areas, so it's happiest indoors or in covered, shaded wet zones. The source doesn't rate it for constant sun or direct pool-chemical contact, so for a fully exposed, barefoot sunbathing deck, ask us first — we'll tell you straight whether it's the right fit or point you to a mat that's purpose-built for that spot.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

Versa Runner is easy to order well if you sort out three things up front.

First, choose between a cut mat and a roll. Cut mats in set sizes drop in fast at a single station — a bar, a shower entry, a pump-room doorway. Rolls come in 2-, 3-, and 4-foot widths and run up to 60 feet, which you cut to length on site to cover a long deck run or a whole wet aisle in one continuous piece.

Second, map the width to your walkway. Measure the wettest path — pool edge to locker room, or the lane behind a bar — and pick the roll width that covers it without leaving a dry-foot gap where people step off the mat onto slick floor. A runner only protects the path it actually covers, so size it to the traffic, not just the doorway.

Third, think about edges and transitions. A cut mat sits with straight edges, which is fine in the middle of a run but can be a lip where people step on from a dry surface. Where that transition matters, plan the layout so the mat butts against a wall or threshold, or ask us about edge options, so the mat itself never becomes the thing someone trips over.

Why Mats Inc.

We've been matching mats to real floors since 1964, and wet areas punish the wrong pick fastest. We'll help you decide between cut mats and rolls, size the width to your actual traffic path, and flag the things that bite people later — sun exposure, transitions, chemical contact. It's part of our wider lineup of pool and wet-area matting, and every order is backed by our 1-year limited warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is Versa Runner made of, and how does it drain?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It's made from 100% nitrile rubber, with a surface cut full of slotted perforations and a knobbed, scraper-ribbed top. Water and grime fall through the slots to the floor below instead of pooling where you step, while the ribs give shoes and bare feet traction. Underneath, a ribbed pattern channels liquid out from beneath the mat and adds a little cushioning. It's also built with a MicroStop anti-microbial compound that helps hold back bacteria and fungi in damp spots.

How well does it hold up to heavy use and chemicals?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Nitrile rubber is the reason it lasts. It resists grease, oils, and animal fats that would break down ordinary rubber, so it keeps its grip and shape through wash-downs and daily traffic. At 3/8" thick it's low enough for carts and wheeled loads to roll on and off without snagging, yet substantial enough to take real foot traffic. For a wet area that also sees cleaning chemicals, that chemical resistance is what keeps the mat from turning gummy or brittle over time.

Can I get it in a custom size or just standard mats?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Both. You can order set-size cut mats for a single spot like a doorway or a station, or buy it by the roll in 2-, 3-, or 4-foot widths up to 60 feet long. The roll is the flexible option — it cuts cleanly on site, so you can run one continuous piece down a long deck or wet aisle and trim it to the exact length your space needs.

Where around a pool does this actually make sense?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, VP of Marketing

Its sweet spot is the working, wet parts of a pool area rather than the open sunbathing deck. Think the floor behind the bar or concession stand, the walk into the locker room, shower and changing areas, and pump or equipment rooms — anywhere water and foot traffic mix indoors or under cover. It's a rubber mat built for service zones, so for a fully sun-exposed deck it's worth checking with us before you commit.

What does it look like underfoot?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, VP of Marketing

It has a practical, no-nonsense look — a black surface broken up by drainage slots and a ribbed, knobbed top that reads as purposeful, like equipment that's there to do a job. Black is the standard color, and it's a smart one for wet work areas because it hides the grit, scuffs, and bits of debris these floors collect between cleanings. It's not trying to be decorative; it's trying to keep people upright.

My space is an odd shape — will it fit?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, VP of Marketing

Almost certainly. Because the roll cuts easily on site, you can shape a run around drains, ladders, corners, and equipment instead of forcing your floor to match a fixed mat. That makes it a strong pick when an off-the-shelf size just won't sit right. If you'd like help planning the layout or choosing widths for a tricky footprint, send us the dimensions and we'll map it out with you.
