How do I know if the mat will stick securely to my tub surface?

We only recommend mats with powerful suction cups designed for use on smooth, non-textured tub bottoms. Our technicians can assess your specific tub material during a consultation to ensure we recommend a product that offers maximum, reliable adhesion.

Do these mats work well with a full walk-in shower?

It is best practice to lift and hang your non-slip tub mat to dry after each use. This prevents water from becoming trapped underneath, which can reduce suction over time and encourage the growth of mold or mildew.

Do these mats work well with a full walk-in shower?

While full walk-in showers typically have non-slip flooring installed, a dedicated mat can provide an extra layer of comfort and traction. We offer specific non-slip shower mats that are designed for zero-threshold surfaces and high-drainage environments.

Non-Slip Tub Mats | Westlake Home Safety Services

Slipping on a wet, soapy surface is the number one cause of accidents in the bathroom, particularly for seniors. While installing a tub cutout and grab bars addresses major mobility challenges, even a momentary loss of footing on a slick surface can lead to a serious fall. Non-slip tub mats are an essential, inexpensive part of a complete safety strategy. Westlake Home Safety Services supplies and recommends only high-quality, durable mats with superior grip and drainage capabilities. We help you choose the right mat that stays securely suctioned to the tub floor, providing a reliable, non-skid surface for standing or moving.

Our family-owned business recognizes that the small details make a massive difference in home safety. A cheap, ill-fitting mat can bunch up or lose its suction, becoming a hazard itself. That is why we provide guidance on selecting a mat with the correct size and material for your specific tub or shower. We ensure the material is resistant to mold and mildew and that the drainage holes are positioned to prevent water pooling. This focused attention to preventative measures is the core of our three decades of experience in senior safety services. We are dedicated to providing the Belleville community with solutions that genuinely increase independence.

The friction provided by a quality non-slip tub mat is the critical factor in preventing rotational falls—the sudden, dangerous slip that can cause severe hip or head injury. We select mats with hundreds of strong, reliable suction cups that adhere firmly to the tub's surface, resisting movement even under pressure. The top surface features a comfortable yet aggressive texture that provides traction for bare feet. This combination of secure attachment and superior surface grip creates a reliable barrier against slick surfaces.

We also focus on accessibility during the mat selection process. The mat should not create a significant trip hazard with thick edges. Our recommended products lay flat against the tub floor, ensuring a smooth transition. When you are combining this product with other mobility aids like a handheld showerhead, the reliability of the tub mat becomes even more important. It anchors your stance while you maneuver the showerhead. Westlake Home Safety Services is committed to installing, servicing, and guaranteeing that every product, large or small, contributes to your total home security.

We can integrate the mat selection into your broader Bathroom Safety Upgrades plan. This integrated approach ensures that the flooring, the walls, and the fixtures all work together to support safe movement. A simple non-slip tub mat becomes part of a layered system that includes proper lighting systems and securely installed grab bars. We leave no detail to chance, relying on our decades of focused expertise to recommend the most effective preventative solutions for your residence in Belleville, ON.
