M5 workstation kit
Antimicrobial Workstation Kit
A closed deck with an antimicrobial additive in the compound, for food, drink and medical work positions.
A solid 25mm deck with an antimicrobial additive built into the compound, for food, drink and medical work positions on a dry floor.
The additive is in the material rather than applied to the surface, so it does not wear off the way a coating does. What it does is inhibit bacterial growth in the deck itself. What it does not do is replace a cleaning regime, and any supplier telling you otherwise is selling you something.
This is the kit for a preparation bench, a packing position or a QC station where the floor is part of a hygiene audit and a general purpose rubber deck would not pass one.
This is the right kit when
- The work is food, drink, pharmaceutical or medical.
- The floor forms part of a documented hygiene regime.
- The floor stays dry in normal operation.
It is the wrong kit when
- The floor gets wet or is washed down. Water needs to drain rather than sit under a solid deck. See the Antimicrobial Drainage kit.
- The work is general workshop or engineering. You do not need the additive. See the Anti-Fatigue kit.
Pick the floor space you use, not the full length of the bench.
About a bench and a half.

Why the kit costs what it costs
You can buy loose matting tiles cheaper than this. It is worth knowing exactly what the difference is before you do, because it is not margin.
01
25mm, not 12 to 19mm
Every interlocking tile we can find on sale in the UK is 12mm, 16mm or 19mm. Ours is 25mm. Thickness is what does the work underfoot, so this is a different class of product rather than the same thing at a higher price.
02
Edging is in the box
Bevelled edging closes every open edge, and it is included. Sold separately elsewhere it runs £19.00 to £27.20 per edge piece, and a work position needs four to six of them. That is £76 to £163 of accessory you are not buying.
03
The price is the delivered price
No carriage at checkout, no threshold to reach, no Highlands surcharge and no price on application for Northern Ireland. The number on the page is the number you pay, anywhere in the UK.
Compare a finished work position against a finished work position, not a kit against a single tile. Tiles, the edging to close the perimeter and the carriage on a heavy box are three separate lines everywhere else. Here they are one number.

Before you order
Questions people ask
The details specific to this surface. For anything unusual, ask us before ordering.
01Does the antimicrobial additive replace cleaning?
No. It inhibits growth in the deck material. It does not clean the deck, and it is not a substitute for your cleaning schedule. Anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling it.
02Will it survive the chemicals we clean with?
Tell us which ones. We will confirm against the compound before you order rather than leave you to find out.
03Do you have documentation for an audit?
Ring us and tell us what your auditor asks for. We would rather send you the specification that exists than have you buy on the strength of a claim on a web page.
Still weighing this up against the Antimicrobial Drainage kit?
Both are 25mm decks with edging included. The difference is the top surface and what your floor does. Compare them side by side, or answer three questions and we will pick.
