PVC and rubber are different materials. For a factory floor, an entrance, or a wet zone, specify the construction: cushion, drainage, scrape, or a factory approach. Softurf manufactures those PVC constructions in Bengaluru.
PVC vs rubber mats: quick answer
Choose the Softurf mat for the job. Cushion Maxx is the 15 mm standing mat. ENDURA is the 12 mm S mat for heavy drainage and grip. SMat Hydra is the 7 mm S mat for first-zone dust capture and for floors where water drains through. Rib mats are the scrape zone. Chain Mat is for muddy factory gates, ramps, and warehouse approaches, not a commercial entrance.
A commercial entrance uses cushion, rib, and S-mat together. Thicknesses are the ones published on each product page.

When to specify a Softurf PVC mat
Specify a Softurf PVC mat for factory standing areas, entrances, wet kitchens, retail floors, warehouses, and approaches that take dust, mud, or water. The format is a roll, most ranges 12 × 1.22 m, ENDURA 9.15 × 1.22 m, or a cut size.
Cushion, rib, S-pattern, and chain-link constructions are different tools. Pick the one that matches the floor.
Airports, lobbies, and factory floors
Airport and metro entrances are specified on transit and infrastructure: ENDURA or SMat Hydra, then rib, with cushion where people stand. Public entrances still use cushion, rib, and S-mat. Chain Mat stays on ramps.
Hotel guest entrances are specified in hotel lobby mats: SMat Hydra, rib, and Cushion Maxx.
Factory standing areas are specified in the anti-fatigue factory guide and on cushion mats for factories.
Wet floors
On a wet floor, structure decides the mat. An open-grid S mat lets water drain through. SMat Hydra and ENDURA are those mats. S-mat is also the first-zone dust-capture mat at a commercial entrance. It is not a wet-only mat.
Quick answer
Specify Softurf by the job and the published thickness. Cushion for standing, S-mat for drainage and first-zone dust, rib for scrape, chain for factory gates and ramps. A commercial entrance uses cushion, rib, and S-mat together.
