Heron Walk
Heron Walk’s cross directional top rib design provides extra traction underfoot, making it the ideal slip-resistant solution for all barefoot environments – particularly those where there’s sloped walkways.
Made from strong, non-porous PVC with channelled underbars, Heron Walk automatically self-drains – even in environments where there’s large amounts of liquid. The embossed surface and cross-directional top ribs deliver superior comfort and grip underfoot, while the antifungal and antimicrobial properties ensure superior hygiene.
This makes Heron Walk ideal for any barefoot environment where there’s sloped walkways, such as those leading up to water park rides, wave machines and water slides, on cruise ships, and sloped decks for beach access.
The one-piece construction means Heron Walk can be quickly rolled out where needed or cut to fit on site. The mat is UV resistant, whether used indoors or outdoors, and has a thermal barrier to elevate bare feet off hot surfaces.

Small floor hook (H: 9/16”)
For securing sections of the matting to the floor. Supplied in packs of 10 with screws and plugs
Heron Walk's one-piece construction means installation is simple
- Made from flexible PVC
- Supplied in rolls for quick installation
- Easy to cut to fit on site
- Contours to uneven surfaces
Regular cleaning will maintain both the effectiveness and lifespan of Heron Walk.
Heron Walk has both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal additives to protect against fungal and bacterial contamination, but regular cleaning is also recommended to remove light grease and oils, food fat, wax and acrylic polishes..
PREPARATION
Check the matting is free from any loose items like litter and clothing fibers.
HAND CLEANING
Regular hand cleaning should be done as required, using an alkaline cleaning fluid as per the manufacturer's instructions. The matting can be cleaned in position – simply apply the cleaning solution with a sprayer or mop and allow to penetrate any grease or dirt. You can then use a stiff deck brush to work the cleaning fluid into the surface dirt. Allow to soak before rinsing with clean water.
If you're deep cleaning or cleaning the flooring below, the mats should be rolled up. They shouldn't be folded or pulled or dragged, as this will damage the matting over time.
MACHINE CLEANING
How frequently you machine clean will depend on how much traffic the area gets. Spray the surface with the alkaline solution and then, using a cylindrical brush machine, clean the top surface in the direction of the top ribs. If there's an etched pattern on the top ribs where dirt can easily collect, make additional cross passes to ensure a thorough clean.
If the underside of the matting also needs a clean, roll it up and then roll back out, leaving the underside facing upwards. Repeat the spray and above cleaning instructions.
STEAM CLEANING
Any type of steam cleaner can be used. Good results have been obtained with nozzle pressure of approximately 1000 lbs p.s.i. (6894.8 kN/m²) and water temperature of approximately 212°F. Cleaning fluid should be diluted according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
