Jaymart Rubber & Plastics Ltd, established in 1967, has been supplying the London Underground for over 20 years, since the King’s Cross fire disaster in 1987. After the disaster, London Underground contacted Jaymart to develop and produce an entrance matting to their exacting specification, and they were supplied with Jaymart’s “Grime-Rail Firefighter” specialist fire-resistant low smoke emission Vamac 7300 ribbed rubber/aluminium entrance matting system. This product is particularly suitable where fire safety, low smoke and toxic fume emission are of critical importance, and Jaymart has recently relaunched the Open Construction variant with the specialist fire retardant strips also on the underside to accommodate the London Underground’s special drainage grid system.
“Grime-Rail Firefighter” is the specified entrance matting for all London Underground section 12 stations. Recently supplied Underground stations include:
