ABSTRACT:
A safety bath mat has a layered body with a base layer provided with a coating of adhesive for attaching the mat to the floor of a tub or shower. The body of the mat further includes a second layer in which polycarbonate particles are embedded in vinyl. Additional vinyl covers the first two layers to a substantially uniform thickness while conforming to the underlying rough surface configuration caused by the polycarbonate particles. The upper two layers are transparent, allowing artwork on the upper surface of the base layer to be seen through the two upper layers. An optional thermometer indicates the ambient water temperature, to aid in prevention of stalling. The adhesive has a protective sheet that is removed for installation. The mat is permanently bonded to the tub and provides a durable, slip resistant surface.
