Ergo Mat

Ergo Mat 6.5 mm is a heterogeneous vinyl floor, meaning that it consists of multiple layers. Each layer or coating has unique function, such as increasing dimensional stability, reducing maintenance, increasing longevity, or providing sports performance and shock absorption. When these layers are combined using virtually tension-free manufacturing process, the result is the ideal multi-use floor purpose. The unique properties of Ergo Mat 8.3 mm allow it to be installed with the popular GreenLay™system GreenLa y™ is 98% adhesive-free installation method that offers faster installation, higher moisture tolerances (92% RH per ASTM F2170), and easier recycling.

ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS OF ERGO MAT

• Superior Performance: Ergo Mat 6.5 mm is a high performance floor. It has class 2 shock absorption and meets all the requirements of ball rebound, vertical deformation, and surface finish effect outlined in the ASTM F2772 standard.
• GreenLay™ Installation: Ergo Mat 6.5 mm can be installed using the 98% adhesive free GreenLay™ system. This means faster installation, high moisture tolerances (up to 92% RH per ASTM F2170), easier recycling, easier subfloor access, and reduced cost relative to moisture barriers.
• Consistent Surface Texture: Unlike some other vinyl flooring, Ergo Mat has the same embossed surface on both wood grain patterns and solid colors. This means consistent playability and the freedom to incorporate wood patterns with solid colors.
• Easy Maintenance: The embossed surface of Ergo Mat is designed to provide texture without creating areas which trap dirt, reducing the need for cleaning and saving maintenance costs.
• Fast Indentation Recovery: Any other vinyl floor with significant shock absorption deforms at the surface under the impact of weight. This is usually noticeable when the weight is localized, like a chair or table leg. Ergo Mat unique structure allows it to recover faster than other vinyl flooring.
• Fewer Seams: With a standard roll length of 85 feet, Ergo Mat offers fewer cross-seams that competing sports vinyl flooring.
• Phthalate-Free Manufacturing: Ergo Mat is one of the only resilient sports surfaces to be manufactured with phthalate-free technology. The components used to produce Ergo Mat are the same materials approved for food containers and children’s toys that can be placed in the mouth.
• Healthier Indoor Air Quality: Ergo Mat 8.3 mm is FloorScore® certified by SCS Global Services and it is the first asthma & allergy friendly™ certified vinyl floor by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America .  These certifications indicate exceptionally low VOC emissions as well as low allergen retention.
• Comprehensive Warranty Protection: Ergo Mat is backed by a 15-year product and wear warranty plus a 10-year warranty for moisture tolerance, representing the highest level of coverage in the industry.
• Possible Portability: In some cases, Ergo Mat 6.5 mm can be used as a temporary athletic surface for tournaments or special events, such as the recent Games for Hope at Montreal Olympic Stadium.

ERGO MAT MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Ergo Mat polyurethane treatment reduces cleaning and maintenance by simplifying the process and even eliminating steps. There is no need for applying waxes or other surface treatments, just sweep, wash, andrinse.

General Guidelines

• Resilient floors can be damaged by solvents, which should not be used in cleaning.
• Wipe up any grease or stains immediately.
• Black rubber wheels, feet, or mats can discolor flooring and should be avoided.
• Chairs and stools should be fitted with plastic protective end caps.
• Light colors may need more frequent cleaning.

Be sure to consult with your local cleaning supplier for cleaners and equipment. ERGO does not assume liability for damage caused by improper cleaning methods or the use of chemicals. Confer also with your flooring provider for more information.

Auto-Scrubbing

Auto-Scrubbing is more effective and efficient for large areas. Use a diluted neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly to avoid heavy residue build up. Higher PH cleans can be used periodically for heavily soiled areas. White pads should be used for regular maintenance, while red pads can be used for periodic deep clean.

Dry Mopping and Sweeping

Dry mopping or sweeping removes dust and dirt. Use yarn mops, micro-fiber mops, or soft bristled brooms, and avoid treated dust mops.

Spot Cleaning

Treat stains immediately. Handle spots using a white rag with mineral spirits or neutral detergent. Solvents should not be used.

Wet Mopping

Wet mopping removes soil and other contaminants. Use a diluted neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly to avoid heavy build up of residues.
