M5 workstation kit
Drainage Workstation Kit
An open grid for a floor that gets wet. Water drops through instead of pooling on top of the mat.
An open grid deck for a floor that gets wet. Water, coolant and spills drop straight through the grid to the floor underneath instead of sitting on top of the surface you are standing on.
This is the honest answer to the biggest objection anyone raises about laying matting in a wet area: that a solid mat turns a wet floor into a wet slippery mat. A drainage deck cannot pool by construction. It is 25mm thick, so you still get the deflection underfoot that makes standing tolerable, and the grid gives you a positive foot surface at the same time.
It lifts you clear of standing water as well. That matters more in an unheated building than most people expect.
This is the right kit when
- The floor gets wet: spills, coolant, washdown at the end of a shift.
- Water needs to drain away rather than sit on a mat.
- You want to be standing above the wet rather than in it.
It is the wrong kit when
- The floor is also oily or greasy and you want grip on the top surface as well as drainage. See the Anti-Slip Drainage kit.
- The work is food, drink or medical and the deck itself needs to resist what grows on a wet floor. See the Antimicrobial Drainage kit.
- The floor is dry. A grid gives you nothing a solid deck does not, and a solid deck is easier to sweep. 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.
01Do small parts fall through the grid?
They can. If you drop screws, washers or small components regularly, a solid deck is the better call. The grid is there because the floor is wet, and it is worth being clear that is a trade.
02How do I clean underneath it?
Lift it. The kit is not fixed down, and the tiles separate, so you can take it up in sections, hose the floor and put it back. On a washdown regime that is a normal weekly job.
03Will it hold up to hot water and detergent?
It is a rubber compound deck built for industrial floors, not a foam mat. For a specific washdown chemistry, ring us with what you use and we will confirm before you order rather than after.
Still weighing this up against the Anti-Fatigue 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.
