Bar Mats and Runners

Bar Mats and Runners keep your counters, shelves and service areas safe, tidy and professional in busy bars, pubs, hotels and restaurants. This range includes compact bar mats, longer runners, non-slip shelf tiles and drip trays to manage spills and protect glassware. Ideal for use along draught beer towers, cocktail stations and back bar shelving, they help staff work faster while maintaining hygiene. Hard-wearing rubber and stainless steel construction ensures long service life in demanding commercial environments.

How to choose the right Bar Mats and Runners

• Measure your bar counters, draught towers and shelf depths to select mats and runners that fit without overhanging or leaving gaps.
• Decide where you need extra grip or spill protection, such as cocktail stations, beer taps or glass storage shelves.
• Choose rubber bar mats and runners for maximum non-slip performance and cushioning under glassware.
• Select stainless steel drip trays where you need precise spill collection under spirit measures or taps and a more premium finish.
• Consider how frequently you clean down the bar and pick designs that can be lifted, rinsed and dried quickly between service periods.
• Match the style and colour of mats and trays to your existing barware and overall front-of-house presentation.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse rubber bar mats and runners regularly in warm, mild detergent solution to remove sticky residues and prevent odours.
• Allow mats to air dry fully before putting them back into service to reduce the risk of mould and bacteria build-up.
• Clean stainless steel drip trays daily, removing inserts where applicable, and avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the surface.
• Inspect mats and tiles for warping, cracks or worn sections and replace promptly to maintain safe, non-slip surfaces.
• Schedule deeper weekly cleans for all bar protection surfaces, including underneath mats and trays, to maintain hygiene standards.
• Store spare mats flat and out of direct heat to prevent distortion and extend their working life.
