Why Choose Rubber Matting?
When you’re looking for a dependable floor surface for factories, workshops, animal stables or entrances, rubber matting is ideal. Its anti-slip surface improves safety in wet or greasy conditions while its shock-absorbing properties protect floors and equipment. High-density rubber mats are durable enough for heavy foot traffic and heavy machinery yet comfortable to stand on all day.
Types of Rubber Matting
Fine Ribbed & Coin Matting
Fine ribbed and coin rubber mats are popular for industrial workspaces and public walkways. Their textured surface improves traction and water drainage. Browse our rubber matting collection to choose from various thicknesses.
Ring & Honeycomb Mats
Ring or honeycomb mats have large holes that allow mud and liquids to fall through, making them ideal for doorways, catering kitchens and playgrounds. See our honeycomb mats for details.
Anti-Fatigue Matting
For areas where staff stand for long periods, anti-fatigue mats provide cushioning to reduce joint strain. Our anti-slip matting section includes both single-piece and modular anti-fatigue mats.
Installation Tips
Installing rubber matting is straightforward. Measure your area and cut mats to fit with a utility knife. For temporary applications, loose lay the mats edge to edge. In heavy-duty industrial settings, secure mats with double-sided tape or adhesive. If you need drainage, choose mats with holes and leave a small gap between them for expansion.
Care & Maintenance
Rubber mats are low maintenance. Sweep or vacuum daily to remove debris, then mop with warm, soapy water. For stubborn grease, use a mild degreaser. Regularly inspect for wear and replace mats that have become excessively worn or compressed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness of rubber matting should I choose?
For light foot traffic, 3–6 mm thick mats are sufficient. For workshops and industrial areas, 10–15 mm heavy-duty mats offer better shock absorption.
