Why Rubber Mats Matter

Rubber matting offers unmatched durability and versatility, making it an essential choice for a wide variety of environments.

Whether it’s preventing slips in industrial workshops, cushioning gym floors, or protecting outdoor spaces, rubber mats provide a practical solution to enhance safety and functionality. Their non-slip properties, weather resistance, and shock absorption make them ideal for creating safer, cleaner, and more comfortable spaces.

How to Choose the Right Rubber Matting

Selecting the ideal rubber matting depends on your specific requirements:

  • Application: For industrial use, choose mats with anti-slip and swarf-trapping properties. In kitchens, opt for oil-resistant nitrile mats. Gyms benefit from thick, durable mats designed to absorb impacts.
  • Environment: Outdoor spaces require weather-resistant mats, such as rubber grass mats or mud control mats, while indoor spaces often need cushioned or textured mats for comfort and safety.
  • Material: Natural rubber is durable and flexible, but nitrile rubber offers enhanced resistance to oils and grease, making it ideal for kitchens and food production.
  • Style and Texture: Choose from ribbed, studded, or honeycomb patterns for added grip and drainage.

How Does Rubber Matting Work?

Rubber matting is a versatile solution that enhances safety, comfort, and cleanliness across various settings. Its slip-resistant properties make it ideal for preventing accidents in industrial workshops, gyms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. By providing cushioning, rubber mats reduce fatigue and protect floors from heavy impacts, ensuring durability and performance over time.

In outdoor applications, rubber mats help manage mud and water, keeping indoor spaces cleaner. Textured surfaces, such as ribbed or studded patterns, provide extra grip, while perforated designs improve drainage in wet conditions.

Rubber matting is trusted for its resilience and adaptability, making it a reliable choice for industries, homes, and public spaces. From swarf-trapping mats in workshops to shock-absorbing gym flooring, rubber mats offer practical benefits that enhance safety and functionality.

Not Sure What Kind of Rubber Mat You Need? Here's What We Recommend:

  • For Industrial Workshops and Factories:
    Choose Rubber Swarf Mats or Oil-Safe Interlocking Mats. These mats trap swarf and debris, provide anti-slip surfaces, and enhance worker safety by reducing fatigue.
  • For Commercial Kitchens:
    Opt for the KrossMat Oil-Resistant Kitchen Mat. It’s tailored for oily environments with anti-fatigue support and slip resistance properties
  • For Gyms and Fitness Centres:
    Choose rubber matting tiles designed to protect floors from heavy weights while offering shock absorption for safety.
  • For Outdoor Use:
    Use Mud Control Mats or EntraGuard Rubber Door Mats. These weather-resistant options scrape dirt and debris while allowing water to drain, keeping indoor floors clean.
  • For Playgrounds or Recreational Areas:
    Mats with a honeycomb design ensures effective drainage, safety, and fall protection for children.
  • For Stables or Farms:
    Consider Equine Stable Mats, which provide comfort and insulation for livestock.
  • For All-Purpose Use:
    FineRib Rubber Rolls or PennyDot Textured Mats are versatile options suitable for general anti-slip applications, workbench linings, or covering large areas.
