CHALLENGES:
Protect climbers from falls

SOLUTION
Norseman created a set of 2-layer, custom-cut mats that contour to the shapes of the climbing walls. The multi-foam design was comprised of a soft upper layer for comfort and a dense bottom layer for shock absorption.
BENEFITS
Custom cut mats protect with no gap between wall and mat.
Dual-density foam design allows for both comfort and protection.
Panel-style perimeter mats provide extra coverage and are easily removable.
PRODUCTS USED
18 oz. V650 FR Royal Blue Vinyl;
2" M45 open-cell urethane foam;
2" VA35 closed-cell foam.
