What are storage mats and when are they the right choice?
storage mats– in technical jargon also Q mats (square mesh size) or R-mats (rectangular mesh size) – are standardizedstructural steel mats, which in specified dimensions and reinforcement contentDIN 488 part 4produced and kept in stock. The default format is6.00m × 2.30m; The area-related mass (weight per square meter) is normalized for each mat type.
UnlikeCustom made list matsIf storage mats are not created on a project basis, they are prefabricated in large series and are therefore ready for quick acceptance. This makes them ideal for projects with standard reinforcement grades, tight schedules or when cutting on the construction site is economical.
Technical overview: Q mats and R mats according to DIN 488
The standardization distinguishes between two product groups, which differ in the rod distribution:
| Designation | Type | longitudinal Ø (mm) | cross Ø (mm) | mesh (mm) | kg/m² |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q 188 a | Q mat | 6.0 | 6.0 | 150 × 150 | 3.01 |
| Q 257 a | Q mat | 7.0 | 7.0 | 150 × 150 | 4.07 |
| Q 335 a | Q mat | 8.0 | 8.0 | 150 × 150 | 5.34 |
| Q 424 a | Q mat | 9.0 | 9.0 | 150 × 150 | 6.73 |
| Q 524 a | Q mat | 10.0 | 10.0 | 150 × 150 | 8.32 |
| R 188 A | R mat | 6.0 | 5.0 | 150 × 250 | 2.57 |
| R 257 a | R mat | 7.0 | 5.0 | 150 × 250 | 3.14 |
| R 335 A | R mat | 8.0 | 6.0 | 150 × 250 | 4.17 |
| R 424 a | R mat | 9.0 | 6.0 | 150 × 250 | 4.95 |
| R 524 a | R mat | 10.0 | 6.0 | 150 × 250 | 5.79 |
All information according to DIN 488-4. Weight information rounded. Version in B500A (ductility class A) or B500B (ductility class B) on request.
Q-Matte vs. R-Matte – Which one to choose?
Q matshave identical rod diameters and distances in the longitudinal and transverse directions – ideal for two-axle clamped plates (e.g. floor plates, ceilings with similar loads in both directions).R matshave weaker rods in the transverse direction and are suitable for uniaxially clamped components or as an economical solution if the main stress is clearly in one direction.
Typical areas of application of storage mats
Standard mats for the most common reinforcement tasks in structural and civil engineering.
Detached Houses & Floor Plates
Q 335 A and Q 188 A cover the typical static requirements for basement walls and floor slabs in residential construction.
Industrial Halls & Commercial Spaces
Large floors with even reinforcement – storage mats in 6 m lengths can be quickly laid and re-decorated.
Paths, access roads & parking decks
Traffic-loaded areas benefit from the uniform crack distribution through standardized mat geometry.
Basement Walls & Retaining Walls
R-Mats offer economical, single-axis reinforcement for earth-pressure-concrete concrete components.
Terrace Panels & Screed
For swimming screeds and patio slabs, thin Q mats are the proven solution for avoiding cracks.
Repair & Supplementary Reinforcement
Available at short notice as a repair material or supplementary reinforcement – without waiting for special production.
