PEM Surface Creations Offers Slip-Resistant Flooring For Aquatic Facilities
Used worldwide to reduce slippage and provide padding for safety and comfort

ST. LOUIS, MO, April 10, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- PEM Surface Creations, a leader in premium slip-resistant matting, provides unique solutions to aquatic facilities to reduce slippage and provide padding for safety and comfort. PEM's aquatic matting provides a textured surface and additional porosity, excellent for wet and high traffic areas, along with a soft construction that provides padding on points of harmful contact and comfort to barefoot traffic.

From simple, single applications at local aquatic facilities to major swimming events, PEM Surface Creations is a premium choice in slip-resistant flooring. PEM aquatic matting has been featured at popular facilities and events such as the FINA World Aquatic Championships in Montreal, the U.S. Olympic Swimming Team Trials in Omaha, Neb., the Mizzou Aquatic Center and even on a Disney Cruise Ship.

"Facing the risk of falls and head injury, aquatic managers across the country have been purchasing PEM's aquatic matting for locker rooms, pool decks, spas, concession stands and pool runners," said Rob Amelung, vice president of PEM. "Many aquatic centers are taking a proactive and preventive approach for wet, slippery surfaces, where falls are likely."

Using poly extruded matting (PEM) made from virgin raw thermal plastics, the matting is designed with a porous looping construction that creates a durable and soft textured surface. The material contains an antimicrobial biocide that guards against the growth of mildew, fungi and bacteria. The porous construction allows moisture to flow through or evaporate to eliminate standing water and reduce algae growth. PEM matting is resistant to environmental and chemical degradation, extreme temperature and can be used as flooring in shallow areas of a pool, especially around water play equipment.

PEM is lightweight for easy handling and trims effortlessly with a razor knife for custom fitting in all areas. The matting provides low maintenance and cleans with only a sweeping or wash down. PEM is available in two thicknesses and various colors, including blue to match an aquatic environment.
