What are Rubber Matting Rolls?
Rubber matting rolls are durable flooring solutions for residential, commercial and industrial use. Made from high quality recycled SBR and EPDM rubber these rolls come in various lengths, designs and thicknesses—2mm to 12mm—to suit all needs.
Some surface textures like gridded or raised coin pattern safety tiles enhance traction so rubber mat rolls are perfect for areas where there’s a need for slip prevention like factories or gyms.
With excellent traction and cushioning rubber flooring rolls are ideal for areas where people stand, walk or exercise for long periods. They also protect subfloors from damage caused by heavy equipment, spills or impacts adding an extra layer of safety and durability.
Types of Rubber Matting Rolls
There’s a rubber roll for every need, from anti-fatigue to grease-proof. Here’s a look at some of the most popular:
1. Anti-Fatigue Matting
Designed to reduce strain anti-fatigue mats are made from a mix of rubber and foam. Perfect for workstations or areas where people stand for long periods these mats distribute weight evenly, improve posture and reduce discomfort.
2. Shock Absorbent Rubber Matting
A gym and sports centre staple, shock absorbent rubber mat rolls protect against high impact movements. They protect the floor, gym equipment and the users themselves making them perfect for group classes, functional fitness and cardio zones.
3. Slip Resistant Rolls
In wet or high traffic areas like commercial kitchens, bars or warehouses slip resistant rubber matting rolls provide a grippy surface. Their anti-slip properties reduce the risk of accidents even in slippery conditions.
4. Drainage Mats
With built in drainage holes these mats are perfect for areas prone to moisture like stable stall flooring, bathrooms and utility rooms. They allow water to flow through easily keeping the surface dry and safe.
5. Grease Proof Mats
For areas with frequent exposure to oils and grease, grease proof rubber flooring rolls are a must. They provide a slip resistant surface, contain spills and prevent contamination of surrounding areas.
