Creating Accessible Pathways for Every Environment

Access matters. Whether it’s a large festival, a new building site, a school, or a community park, ensuring everyone can move freely is essential. Temporary wheelchair access mats are a simple, effective way to create stable, compliant routes over grass, gravel, sand, or uneven ground. They provide a solid surface for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs, and pedestrians, making public spaces and events truly accessible to all.

How Wheelchair Access Mats Work

Wheelchair access mats connect together to form continuous, secure pathways across any surface. Their textured upper surface gives grip for wheels and shoes. Mats can be laid by hand and fit tightly together for seamless, trip-free routes. Edges can be ramped for easy entry and exit. Most mats are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and can be cleaned and reused again and again.

Choosing the Right Access Solution

  • For events, choose mats with a stable surface and textured finish to provide grip for wheelchair users and pedestrians, even on grass or soft ground.
  • In public parks or gardens, opt for lightweight mats that can be quickly installed and removed after use, keeping access flexible for changing needs.
  • On construction sites, use robust mats designed to withstand high footfall and repeated wheelchair use across uneven or muddy surfaces.
  • For healthcare and education, select mats that are easy to clean, ensuring safe access for all users in a hygienic environment.
  • For longer-term or frequently used routes, consider mats that can be securely linked together to create continuous, reliable pathways.
