Rubber sheet is used across engineering, manufacturing, and construction for gasketing, sealing, vibration damping, lining, and insulation. Common applications include pipe flanges and joints, machine anti-vibration pads, pond and tank liners, worktop and bench protection, electrical insulation matting, and weather sealing. The correct material depends on chemical exposure, temperature range, and mechanical requirements.

EPDM rubber sheet excels outdoors — it resists UV, ozone, weathering, and temperatures from -40C to +120C, making it ideal for roofing, pond liners, and exterior seals. Nitrile (NBR) rubber sheet is the go-to for oil, fuel, and hydraulic fluid resistance — essential in automotive and industrial engineering. Neoprene offers balanced performance: good oil and weather resistance, moderate temperature range, and excellent flexibility — commonly used for gaskets, seals, and marine applications. SBR is a cost-effective general-purpose option for light-duty applications where chemical resistance is not critical.

EPDM rubber sheet is the best choice for outdoor applications. It offers excellent resistance to UV light, ozone, weathering, and extreme temperatures. It does not crack or degrade when exposed to sunlight long-term, unlike SBR or Neoprene. EPDM is widely used for pond liners, roofing membranes, outdoor seals, and weather stripping in the UK.

Rubber sheet pricing depends on material and thickness. SBR general-purpose rubber sheet starts from around 8.99 per linear metre. EPDM sheet typically costs 12.99 to 24.99/m depending on thickness (1mm to 25mm). Nitrile oil-resistant sheet runs 15.99 to 35.99/m. Neoprene and specialist grades are priced on request. All orders include free UK delivery with no minimum order.

Yes — we offer a free cut-to-size service on all rubber sheet orders. Specify your exact length and width and we cut it before dispatch. Rubber sheet can also be cut on-site using a sharp knife or scissors for thin gauges, or a jigsaw for thicker material. Standard sheet widths are typically 1.0m or 1.2m, with thicknesses from 1mm to 25mm available.

Not all rubber sheet is oil resistant. Nitrile (NBR) rubber sheet is specifically engineered for oil, fuel, diesel, and hydraulic fluid resistance and is the correct choice for engineering environments with oil contamination. Standard SBR and EPDM rubber sheet have limited oil resistance and should not be used in direct contact with petroleum products.

Thickness depends on the application. For gaskets and seals, 1mm to 3mm is typical. For vibration damping pads under machinery, 6mm to 10mm provides adequate isolation. For heavy-duty lining, flooring protection, or impact resistance, 10mm to 25mm is recommended. Our rubber sheet thickness guide covers all common applications in detail.

Yes — free delivery on all rubber sheet orders to UK mainland addresses. No minimum order required. Orders placed before 2pm Monday to Friday typically dispatch the same day, arriving within 2-3 working days. Cut-to-size orders are dispatched within 24 hours of order placement.
