Tapete (MX) vs Alfombra (AR/CL)

Regional terms for a floor mat — specifically in the industrial context, an anti-fatigue mat, safety mat, or functional floor mat. In Mexico: "tapete" — "tapete antifatiga" (anti-fatigue mat), "tapete antiderrapante" (non-slip mat), "tapete dielectrico" (dielectric mat), "tapete ergonomico" (ergonomic mat), "tapete de hule" (rubber mat). In Argentina and Chile: "alfombra" — "alfombra antifatiga" (anti-fatigue mat), "alfombra de goma" (rubber mat). In Spain: "alfombrilla" (small mat) or "tapiz" may be used. In Colombia and Peru: "tapete" (like Mexico) is common. The distinction matters for B2B product marketing: a Mexican factory manager searches for "tapete antifatiga industrial" while an Argentine manager searches for "alfombra antifatiga industrial" — same product, different keywords. Products include: anti-fatigue mats (9-22 mm, for standing workstations), dielectric mats (ASTM D178, for electrical safety), non-slip mats (diamond/coin pattern, for wet areas), and ergonomic runners (for walkways). For pan-LATAM SEO: include both "tapete" and "alfombra" in product descriptions to capture traffic from all markets.
