What is industrial rubber flooring?

Industrial rubber flooring is a heavy-duty floor covering made from vulcanised SBR or EPDM rubber, designed for factory, warehouse, workshop, and commercial environments. It provides anti-slip safety, durability under heavy machinery and foot traffic, and anti-fatigue properties for standing workers.

What thickness industrial rubber flooring do I need?

For light industrial use and walkways, 6mm rubber flooring is sufficient. For heavy machinery, forklifts, and high-traffic areas, use 10-15mm. For areas with heavy dropped loads or chemical exposure, 15-20mm provides optimal protection. Anti-fatigue mats should be 12-20mm.

Is industrial rubber flooring slip resistant?

Yes. Industrial rubber flooring has a high coefficient of friction, providing excellent slip resistance even when wet. For areas with oil or grease, specify Nitrile rubber flooring which offers enhanced resistance to petroleum-based substances.

What rubber is best for factory floors?

SBR rubber is the most widely used for factory and warehouse floors due to excellent abrasion resistance and cost-effectiveness. For chemical or oil environments, Nitrile rubber is preferred. For food production, specify food-safe EPDM or Neoprene rubber flooring.

How long does industrial rubber flooring last?

Quality industrial rubber flooring in a factory or warehouse environment lasts 10-20 years. Heavy-duty SBR rubber rated for forklift traffic can last 15 years or more. Regular cleaning extends service life significantly.

How do you clean industrial rubber flooring?

Clean industrial rubber flooring weekly with a mop and pH-neutral degreaser. For heavy contamination, scrub with a stiff brush and diluted industrial floor cleaner, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid solvent-based cleaners, bleach, and petroleum products which degrade rubber.

Can industrial rubber flooring be installed over concrete?

Yes. Industrial rubber flooring can be installed directly over concrete, as long as it is structurally sound, clean, dry, and level. For permanent installations, use contact adhesive. For removable layouts, loose-lay or interlocking tile systems are preferred.

Does industrial rubber flooring meet UK safety standards?

Quality industrial rubber flooring from Slip-Not meets BS EN ISO 10140 for slip resistance and EN 1081 for flooring safety. Anti-fatigue mats comply with ergonomic guidelines under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992. Electrical safety rubber matting meets BS EN 61111.

What are the benefits of rubber flooring in a warehouse?

Rubber warehouse flooring reduces workplace injuries by providing anti-slip surfaces, cushions dropped loads to protect floor integrity, reduces noise levels from machinery and foot traffic, and provides anti-fatigue benefits for workers who stand for long periods.

Why Choose Rubber Flooring?

Rubber is naturally slip resistant, even when wet, which is why it is specified for commercial kitchens, pool surrounds, changing rooms and HSE-audited workplaces. It is dense enough to stop forklift wheels and dropped dumbbells marking the subfloor, yet soft enough underfoot to reduce fatigue and impact noise. Unlike vinyl or laminate, rubber flexes rather than cracking, resists most oils and chemicals, and keeps its grip as it wears. A quality rubber floor typically lasts 10 to 20 years in commercial use and is one of the few floor coverings that can be lifted, cleaned and re-laid.

Rolls, Tiles or Mats: Which Rubber Flooring Is Right?

Rolls are the most economical way to cover large areas and give the cleanest finish with the fewest joins. They are bonded with rubber flooring adhesive or loose laid with tape. Interlocking tiles need no adhesive, can be lifted and re-used, and are the easiest option for home gyms, garages and rented premises. Mats are pre-cut for specific zones, such as under a squat rack, at a workstation or inside a horse box, and can be moved as your layout changes. Our rubber flooring thickness calculator and coverage calculator help you size the order.

How Much Does Rubber Flooring Cost in the UK?

Thin ribbed and studded rolls for workshops and vans start from under £20 per square metre. Gym-grade 15mm to 20mm rubber flooring typically costs £25 to £45 per square metre, and 30mm to 40mm commercial tiles sit above that. Buying by the linear metre and ordering full rolls brings the price per square metre down, and trade accounts unlock further volume discounts. Read our full rubber flooring cost guide for a line-by-line breakdown including adhesive and fitting.

Rubber Flooring FAQs

Is rubber a good choice for flooring?

Yes. Rubber is one of the most durable, slip-resistant and low-maintenance floor coverings available. It suits any space that needs grip, impact protection or sound reduction, from gyms and garages to kitchens and classrooms.

What are the disadvantages of rubber flooring?

New rubber can carry a mild odour for the first few weeks, dark colours show dust more than patterned surfaces, and some compounds are not suited to heavy oil exposure. Choosing the right compound, such as nitrile for workshops or EPDM for outdoors, avoids most of these issues. Our EPDM vs SBR guide explains the differences.

Can you lay rubber flooring over concrete?

Yes. Concrete is the ideal base. Make sure it is dry, clean and level, then loose lay tiles or bond rolls with a suitable adhesive. Full steps are in our rubber flooring installation guide.

How thick should rubber flooring be?

3mm to 6mm covers walkways, vans and general workshops; 10mm to 20mm suits home gyms and commercial fitness areas; 30mm to 40mm is used for Olympic lifting platforms and heavy drop zones.

Can rubber flooring be used with underfloor heating?

Most rubber flooring is suitable for underfloor heating up to a surface temperature of around 27°C. Let the material acclimatise in the room for 24 hours before fitting.

How do you clean rubber flooring?

Sweep or vacuum grit, then mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid solvent-based products. See the rubber flooring maintenance guide for full care advice.
