White mats are perfect for dark areas such as underneath bridges or in tunnels. This color will reflect and illuminate these areas for added safety.
Black is one of the more popular colors and is used in commercial construction and projects.

For Pedestrian Use
For installation where pedestrians will be walking then the plate can be bolted down for use. These bolts will take a little more time to install because you must connect the plate and ratchet them down to keep them safely in place. The benefits of the bolts are not noticeable but have less protrusion and there is no concern about someone tripping on them.
