These mats keep feet and tools in place

With the rise in steel construction, learn why SAMM mats are a toolbox must-have. 

In the U.S., roofing is considered one of the top three most dangerous professions, with the work taking a significant toll on physical health, particularly affecting workers backs and legs over time. And should there be an injury, it not only affects that roofer and their family, but it can financially impact the company and prevent its ability to manage projects efficiently. Given the current labor shortage, it’s crucial to invest in tools that improve safety and ease on the job. Enter the SAMM mats. Designed by SteelGrip SAMM®, the "Safety Assist Magnetic Mats" aim to provide stability for both personnel and tools on steel roofs, creating a single, comprehensive solution for the entire team. 

Did you know steel is becoming one of the most diversified building materials in the construction industry today with rebar, studs, trusses and every imaginable style roof and siding texture, design and color? Part of the reason for its popularity is due to its wide variety of screws and fasteners available that make installation easy for workers. Not only that, but steel is also recyclable, making it a sustainable product that is very low maintenance, which are both features home and business owners are looking for. Because of this increase in popularity of steel, products like the SAMM mats are crucial now more than ever for roofers. 

SteelGrip SAMM is here to keep workers' feet and tools in place on steel surfaces without causing any scratches and dents. SAMM mats are a “must have” for your toolbox. They save time, money and fatigue.  

SAMM mats come in four styles: Pole Barn for 9” on center (PBS), Standing Seam, (STSM - hidden fastener), Pole Barn for 12” on center (PB-12), and our new PRO which will accommodate PBS, STSM, PB-12 plus corrugated and architectural steel.  

Made in Michigan, SAMM mats are designed with a non-skid rubberized diamond deck surface and powerful flexible magnets that stick to specific configurations of steel roofing styles. SteelGrip SAMM is dedicated to Preventing Injuries and Saving Lives®.
