Rubber matting encompasses a range of floor coverings primarily composed of rubber, which can be either natural rubber or a blend 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 designs and styles of rubber matting are specifically tailored to enhance performance and functionality, catering to the unique requirements of each application.
Our rubber matting is available in various forms to suit different purposes. Here are the most popular types:
Standing Mats: Commonly utilised 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 Matting Rolls: These versatile mats serve many purposes, including floor coverings, workbench linings, seals, and shock absorption. You can select from ribbed texture matting for improved grip or opt for smoother studded rubber for various floor surfaces.
Heavy-Duty Rubber Mats: Assess the usage intensity and environment before selecting your rubber matting. In high-traffic or demanding settings, consider more durable options such as nitrile rubber blend mats for enhanced longevity.
Outdoor Rubber Mats: While most mats are suitable for outdoor applications, some offer better performance in direct sunlight. To ensure suitability, consult product descriptions or contact us for expert guidance.
By carefully considering the specific requirements of your space, you can confidently choose the most suitable rubber matting to meet your needs.
Using floor mats of any kind can bring many benefits to your business, and at First Mats, we cater for a diverse range of industries and applications.
Workshops and factories 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:
By ensuring safety, maintaining cleanliness, and improving productivity, rubber matting serves as an invaluable asset across various industries.
Our recommendations;
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 further enhance hygiene and safety, ensuring a suitable environment for food production.
Our Recommendations;
Rubber matting is also prevalent in gyms and leisure centres, where its exceptional durability makes it ideal for handling heavy weights. Proper matting protects both the floors from damage and gym users from potential injuries, ensuring a safe and well-maintained workout environment.
Our Recommendations;
Increasingly, horse owners opt for rubber matting in stables, as it reduces the need for frequently replacing hay or straw, resulting in significant cost savings over time. Rubber matting offers a comfortable surface for horses and owners, and its natural insulating properties provide protection against the winter cold. Additionally, rubber mats are suitable for other agricultural applications, such as housing cattle and various livestock.
Our Recommendations;
Our rubber matting range extends to recreational areas, particularly children’s play areas. Safety is at the heart of the First Mats range; that’s why we now offer mats which have been tested for critical fall heights to ensure they can help protect children from serious injuries. Our products in these areas feature a pattern of holes, which helps drain water away and allow grass to grow through them.
