Tenura Extreme grip mats are unlike any of our other daily living aids. This material does not offer the same kind of non-slip surface, but instead provides an incredibly tacky surface, helping to prevent all movement from any object placed on its surface!

This high-quality, tacky PU (polyurethane) material has received a very warm reception since we announced it. The grip levels it creates is incredible, which allows you to use Tenura Extreme non-slip mats in areas prone to movement, such as cars, mobile homes, and boats!

Motor homes & Caravans

When travelling around in a motorhome or caravan, you will use many items such as pots, pans, plates, and cutlery. These objects can freely move when travelling that could make an unwanted mess, cause damage to them, the aesthetics of the motorhome, or distract you whilst driving.

Tenura Extreme grip mats can prevent this eventuality. By creating such a tacky surface, Tenura Extreme grip mats stop all movement from objects in low and high movement areas, preventing G-force or lateral movement of the vehicle from moving the objects residing on it. Extreme grip mats are available in green and transparent, so depending on your needs, can be easily seen or virtually inconspicuous.

Cars, Vans, and Trucks

When driving in day-to-day life, most people have their phones, keys, and various other items resting on their dashboards, in their glove compartments, or cup holders, as it easy to access and can be used to play music or give directions to where you’re going. However, in the event of a small correction or swerve your phone, keys, glasses case, and many other items can disappear down the seats or fly onto you. In turn, they are creating a distraction that could lead to a crash. (we recommend the use of a phone cover to adhere your phone to the surface of the Tenura Extreme grip mat)

Tenura Extreme mats can provide a perfect surface to rest these items. The high-tack surface will prevent objects from moving. No more will your keys and phones fall down the sides of your seat!

In the house and on the go

Tenura Extreme mats have shown over the years to be very useful in many areas of everyday life we never gave a thought. One of the most interesting ideas we have had was to keep an iPad in place for a disabled person who would otherwise struggle to interact with the software on the tablet when the device is moving around (we recommend the use of a cover for a tablet before adhering it to the surface).

Extreme grip mats are perfect for many uses in the home, thanks to their secure grip and the fact that they leave no residue behind on a surface they have been applied to. One of the best tests which can demonstrate how helpful the tacky surface of Tenura extreme mats is on a dinner tray, the material will prevent all movement from bowls, plates, cups, and cartons, which could otherwise move around. Eating and drinking can be especially troublesome for those who suffer from disabilities which impair motor function and grip. This tacky grip mat will make sure that bowls, plates, and other items cannot move freely and will stay put.

Due to the level of grip exerted by Tenura Extreme mats, the silicone can get dirty quickly, as any dust particles, food fragments, or general dirt comes into contact with this material will stick firm. Most grip mats with this similar feature would have to be thrown away as washing them isn’t an option. Thankfully Tenura Extreme grip mats construction makes them easy to clean thoroughly without losing any of its properties. Applications of soap and water will be more than enough to clean this material. Once dry, the high-tack properties will return.

Tenura Extreme mats come in a transparent or green colour. The vibrant green colouring is a perfect aid for the visually impaired, creating an excellent marker for where an object may be resting. The transparent style of the Tenura Extreme mat creates a subtle high-tack surface without detracting from the looks or features of what resides on it.
