Dive platform matting

Divegym Equipment specialises in the supply and installation of Tiflex – Treadmaster AF/DB diving slip-resistant matting. This product is used in all the competition diving facilities within the UK and many worldwide. Treadmaster AF/DB has been specially developed for diving board applications. It has subsequently been tried and tested for many years throughout Great Britain and has had the unqualified field approval of the Amateur Swimming Association since 1964.

  • Design

    Since its introduction at British National Sports Centres, Treadmaster has been tried and tested at many diving venues throughout Great Britain and other countries and by the world governing body for diving, FINA. Treadmaster AF/DB is resilient, anti-fungal, patterned slip-resistant matting.

    Dimensions

    The standard mat is 1.0m wide x 1.6m long, with the square pattern allowing easy cutting to suit most areas. The 1m width particularly favours regulation platform sizes. Available in two thicknesses, the 6mm thick version is recommended for platforms, landings and stairs with the 3mm version more suitable for steps where bending over a radius edge is required.
