Barefoot

Product catalog summary

Overview: Barefoot Industrial Ergonomic Flooring is a patented engineered flooring product designed to provide both tensile and compressive capacities through a unique structure of struts, domes, and tri-radial supports. It is recognized for its ergonomic excellence, having won the Industrial Design Excellence Award by the Industrial Designers Society of America.

Engineering and Ergonomics: The flooring is engineered to accommodate a wide range of users, from lighter individuals who require more cushioning to heavier individuals who need greater support. University testing has confirmed that Barefoot provides high levels of both cushion and support, making it a versatile ergonomic solution.

Options and Specifications: Barefoot offers over 4,000 standard options, including custom work. Available widths range from 2 to 12 feet, and lengths can extend up to 400 feet, depending on the width. The flooring is available in various compounds and forms, including solid surface, drain-through, automotive-grade EPDM, oil-resistant nitrile, and conductive/ESD options.

Durability: Barefoot flooring has been tested to withstand 1,000,000 cycles of flexing without performance loss, ensuring long-term durability and safety. The product's warranty is among the best in the industry, promising minimal replacements.

Cost Efficiency: While labor costs increase over time, the cost of Barefoot flooring decreases, with an apportioned cost of 5 cents a day over its lifespan, making it a cost-effective solution.

Design and Safety: The flooring's design is centered around the hexagon, nature's most efficient building block, providing a balance of cushion and support. The product is designed to prevent common issues like cracking, tearing, and bending, which can compromise safety.

Additional Information: Barefoot is made and shipped from Ohio, USA. The company offers a variety of resources, including a Barefoot Calculator, product comparisons, installation guides, and clean room certification details.

Engineering: Why Barefoot works Durability means better safety Some people need more “cushy” mats. Some people need firm mats. Barefoot accommodates two needs in one design. Elastic Domes easily compress, giving a soft feel of cushion and corresponding support. SIDE VIEW Mats that are not durable are not safe, like those above. Cracking, tearing and bending mats critically lack what Barefoot has most: Durability. After dome-compression, flexible underside columns provide a second level of compliance and support. SIDE VIEW Barefoot’s natural ergonomic balance is centered around Nature’s most efficient...
