Installation Guide – 3 Simple Steps
Step 1: Prepare Your Surface (10 minutes)
- Clean floor thoroughly – sweep and remove all dust, oil and debris
- Ensure surface is dry and level (minor imperfections are fine)
- Measure your space and calculate metres needed (add 5% for trimming)
- For permanent installations, consider using double-sided tape at edges
Step 2: Lay the Rubber Flooring (15 minutes)
- Unroll matting and let it acclimate to room temperature for 24 hours (optional but recommended)
- Decide which side to use: studded for maximum grip, smooth for easier cleaning
- Lay first section along longest wall, ensuring it's straight
- Butt additional sections tightly together (no gaps or overlaps)
- For 2.2m width, you may need 2 people to handle the roll
Step 3: Trim & Secure (5 minutes)
- Use a sharp utility knife and straight edge to trim around obstacles
- Score the rubber multiple times rather than trying to cut through in one pass
- For temporary installations, the mat's weight holds it in place
- For permanent installations, apply double-sided tape every 30cm around perimeter
- Walk over entire surface to ensure good contact with floor
Pro Installation Tips:
- Install in temperatures above 10°C for easier handling
- For large areas, start from the centre and work outwards
- Use a roller to flatten any air bubbles or wrinkles
- Allow 24-48 hours before driving vehicles over new installation
- Trim conservatively – you can always cut more, but can't add back
How Studded Rubber Flooring Works
The raised penny dot pattern creates hundreds of contact points that channel liquids away from the surface while maintaining grip. Each stud acts as a micro-traction point, increasing friction by 40% compared to smooth rubber.
The science behind the performance:
- Slip Resistance: Raised studs create air pockets that prevent hydroplaning on wet surfaces
- Drainage: Channels between studs allow water, oil and debris to flow away from foot traffic
- Cushioning: Dense rubber absorbs 30-40% of impact force, reducing fatigue and joint strain
- Noise Reduction: Rubber dampens vibration and sound by up to 25dB compared to bare concrete
- Durability: Recycled rubber content provides flexibility while virgin rubber adds strength

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which thickness should I choose – 3mm, 4mm or 6mm?
A: 3mm is perfect for light foot traffic and van lining. 4mm suits home garages and workshops with moderate use. 6mm is ideal for gyms, heavy machinery areas and commercial applications requiring maximum cushioning and durability.
Q: Do I need adhesive to install this rubber flooring?
A: No. For most applications, the mat's weight (5-8kg per metre) keeps it securely in place. For permanent installations or areas with heavy vehicle traffic, you can use double-sided tape around the perimeter.
Q: Can I use this outdoors?
A: Yes. The rubber is weather-resistant and handles UK rain, frost and sun. However, prolonged UV exposure may cause slight fading over 3-5 years. We recommend using in covered areas for longest lifespan.
Q: How do I clean studded rubber flooring?
A: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove debris. For deep cleaning, mop with warm water and mild detergent. For oil spills, use a degreaser. The studded pattern is self-draining so water doesn't pool.
Q: Will this damage my concrete floor underneath?
A: No. Rubber flooring protects your concrete from stains, cracks and wear. It's completely removable and leaves no residue (unless you use adhesive).
Q: Can I drive a car over this matting?
A: Absolutely. Our studded rubber flooring is designed for vehicle traffic. The 3mm thickness handles cars and light vans. For heavier vehicles or frequent traffic, choose 4mm or 6mm thickness.
Q: How many metres do I need for a standard UK garage?
A: A single garage (2.4m × 5.5m) needs approximately 13-14 metres of 1.2m wide matting or 6-7 metres of 2.2m wide. A double garage (4.8m × 5.5m) needs 26-28 metres of 1.2m wide or 12-13 metres of 2.2m wide.
Q: Is the penny dot pattern the same on all colours?
A: Yes. All colours feature the same raised penny dot (coin) pattern with identical slip resistance and performance characteristics.
Q: Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
A: Yes. We offer 30-day returns on unused, uncut matting. If you've cut it to size, we can't accept returns, so measure carefully before cutting.
Q: How long will this rubber flooring last?
A: With normal use in a home garage or workshop, expect 10-15 years. In high-traffic commercial environments, 5-10 years. The reversible design effectively doubles the lifespan.
