What is Rubber Matting?

Rubber matting encompasses a wide range of floor coverings primarily composed of rubber, either natural rubber or blended with nitrile, to yield a more robust compound. Owing to its remarkable versatility, rubber matting can be found in diverse settings, including gyms, kitchens, and factories.

The various rubber matting designs and styles are specifically tailored to enhance performance and functionality, catering to the unique requirements of each application.

Rubber Matting Types Available

Our rubber matting range includes products to suit a variety of applications and purposes. Here are the most popular types:

Standing Mats: Commonly used in workshops, these mats often incorporate a hole pattern to effectively trap and contain swarf or debris, promoting a cleaner and safer work environment.
Rubber Flooring Rolls: These versatile mats serve many purposes, including anti-slip rubber flooring, workbench linings, seals, and shock absorption. You can select ribbed texture matting for improved grip or smoother studded rubber for various floor surfaces.
Heavy-Duty Rubber Mats: Rubber is naturally hard-wearing, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as gym floors, commercial buildings and industrial settings.
Outdoor Rubber Mats: While most mats are suitable for outdoor applications, some offer better performance in direct sunlight or are designed specifically as rubber grass mats. Check the product descriptions for the full list of applications.
Textured Rubber: Choose from a wide range of mat textures, including the PennyDot Rubber Matting with its coin or studded pattern, and the ribbed surface FineRib or Broad Rib rubber rolls.

You can confidently choose the most suitable matting by carefully considering your space's specific requirements.

Rubber Matting Buying Advice

Using floor mats of any kind can benefit your business, and at First Mats, we cater to a diverse range of industries and applications. The most common applications include floor mats for factories and industry, entrance mats for homes and commercial buildings, gyms for equipment and floor protection, and a variety of other outdoor applications.

Rubber Matting for Industrial Workshops and Factories

Workshops, factories, and other industrial settings pose potential hazards, but the right rubber matting significantly enhances worker safety and minimises accidents. Rubber mats, typically placed in front of machines or lathes, offer numerous benefits:

Comfort: Rubber anti-fatigue mats provide a cushioned surface, reducing discomfort and pain from prolonged standing.
Slip Resistance: Mats with an anti-slip surface reduce the risk of slips caused by oils, water, and other liquids on the floor.
Cleanliness: Rubber mats with holes trap swarf, the debris produced during machining, preventing it from spreading.

Rubber matting is an invaluable asset across various industries, as it ensures safety, maintains cleanliness, and improves productivity.

Rubber Mats for Commercial Kitchens

Kitchens and food production facilities share challenges with industrial workshops, such as worker fatigue and slip risks. However, rubber matting for these areas must be specifically tailored to maintain hygiene and drain away spilt liquids.

While natural rubber performs well on dry or wet floors, it is incompatible with oil or grease. Nitrile compound mats are a more resilient option, offering a longer lifespan. Rubber matting for kitchens is often treated with antibacterial properties to enhance hygiene and safety further, ensuring a suitable environment for food production.
