Abstract

A bath mat has a body provided with a coating of adhesive for attaching the mat to the floor of a tub or shower. The body includes a primary layer underlying two layers in which sand particles are embedded in vinyl. Additional vinyl covers the two layers to a substantially uniform thickness while conforming to the underlying rough surface configuration caused by the sand particles. 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.
