General
What is Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting used for?
It’s a general-purpose matting ideal for walkways, worktops, lining drawers, vehicle trailers, kennels, and many other applications.
Is the Fine Ribbed Rubber Mat suitable for outdoor constant use, for example laid on concrete as a walking path for a small dog?
Yes, Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting can be used outdoors and will provide a safe, slip-resistant surface for light applications like a dog walking path. It’s durable, easy to clean, and offers good grip underfoot. For long-term heavy outdoor use, we also offer tougher outdoor-grade rubber mats - such as our Utility mat, designed to withstand constant exposure to the elements.
Do you know the tensile strength of this matting?
Yes, the tensile strength is as follows: Tensile (N/mm²) 2.5 ISO 37
How does the fine ribbed surface help?
The finely ribbed design improves traction, providing slip resistance on floors and stability when used as a liner on work surfaces.
Can Fine Ribbed rubber matting be used outdoor?
Yes, the matting is made from natural rubber that is waterproof and UV resistant, making it suitable for use outdoors.
What sizes are available?
It’s supplied in 10m rolls with widths of 90cm, 100cm (6mm only), and 120cm, or it can be cut to your required length for a tailored fit.

What thickness is the Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting available in?
Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting is available in 3mm or 6mm thicknesses.
What widths does Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting come in?
Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting is available in standard widths of 90cm and 120cm.
What is the difference between fine ribbed rubber matting and smooth rubber sheeting?
Fine ribbed rubber matting has a finely ribbed surface that improves traction on floors and work surfaces. Smooth rubber sheeting has a flat surface and is typically chosen where a plain rubber surface is needed rather than extra grip from ribs.
Can the Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting be cut to size at home?
Yes — the Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting can be cut to size. The 3mm version is easier to cut, while the 6mm version is heavier-duty and will be more difficult to cut.
Can Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting be trimmed to fit a table exactly?
Yes — although we supply it cut from the roll, our Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting can be trimmed on site to fit a table exactly. If it needs to sit inside the table edges, we recommend cutting it slightly smaller for the best fit.
Can Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting be cut to a custom length?
Yes — Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting can be cut to the exact length required from the roll. It is supplied in fixed widths of 90cm or 120cm.
Do you offer any samples of Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting?
Yes — if you would like to assess the material first, a sample of the Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting can be arranged.
Do you have a non-ribbed version of Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting that is non slip?
If you need a smooth rubber sheet rather than the ribbed finish, the closest alternative is our General Purpose Natural Rubber Sheet. It has a smooth surface and is suitable for general commercial and industrial uses, but it is not as robust as Fine Ribbed Rubber Matting.
