Rubber Matting UK — Industrial & Commercial Grade
Updated June 2026 — Rubberco is one of the UK's leading suppliers of heavy duty rubber matting for commercial, industrial and residential applications. From anti-slip rubber matting for workshops and factories, to entrance matting, stable matting and gym flooring — our range covers every requirement with products built for long-term performance.
What is Rubber Matting Used For?
Rubber matting is one of the most versatile industrial and commercial floor products available. Common applications include:
- Workplace safety matting — anti-slip rubber matting reduces slip accidents in wet and oily environments
- Anti-fatigue matting — reduces strain on workers standing for prolonged periods, improving comfort and productivity
- Garage and workshop flooring — protects concrete floors from oil, chemicals and impact damage
- Gym flooring — absorbs impact from weights and equipment, protecting the subfloor and reducing noise
- Stable and equestrian matting — provides cushioning and grip for horses in stalls and walkways
- Entrance and threshold matting — traps dirt and moisture at entry points, protecting interior flooring
- Outdoor matting — slip-resistant surfaces for wet outdoor areas, ramps and external walkways
Types of Rubber Matting
Rubber Matting Rolls (Sold by the Metre)
Our most popular format — rubber matting sold by the linear metre in standard widths (typically 1m and 1.4m wide). Order exactly what you need with no wasteful pre-cut sizes. Available in plain, ribbed, studded and anti-fatigue profiles from 3mm to 25mm thick.
Rubber Matting Tiles
Interlocking rubber tiles for easy installation without adhesive. Ideal for areas where flexibility matters — home gyms, portable anti-fatigue stations, temporary event flooring.
Specialist Rubber Matting
Including acoustic/soundproofing rubber, electrical insulation matting (BS EN 61111), anti-static ESD matting, stable mats, entrance matting and drainage/wet area matting.
Rubber Matting Compound Guide
| Compound | Best For | Key Property |
|---|---|---|
| SBR (General Purpose) | Workshops, gyms, general floor protection | Hardwearing, cost-effective |
| EPDM | Outdoor areas, pool surrounds, UV exposed areas | UV and weathering resistant |
| Nitrile (NBR) | Garages, fuel stations, engineering workshops | Oil and fuel resistant |
| Natural Rubber | High-grip applications, stable mats, conveyor | Maximum grip and elasticity |
| Anti-Static ESD | Electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, server rooms | Static dissipative |
Rubber Matting Buying Guide — What to Consider
- Thickness: 3-6mm for light commercial; 10-15mm for heavy industrial; 17-20mm for stables and gym
- Surface profile: Ribbed for grip in wet areas; studded for heavy duty; smooth for clean rooms and food production; anti-fatigue domed for standing workstations
- Width: Standard rolls come in 1m and 1.4m widths — measure your space and minimise joins
- Compound: Match compound to the environment — oil, UV, temperature and chemical exposure all affect compound selection
- Colour: Black for industrial; grey and coloured for commercial; safety yellow for hazard marking
Frequently Asked Questions — Rubber Matting UK
How long does rubber matting last?
Quality rubber matting in normal commercial use typically lasts 10–20 years. The service life depends on the application, compound and maintenance. Anti-fatigue mats in high-traffic commercial kitchens may last 3–5 years with heavy daily use; heavy-duty industrial rubber matting in a light-use environment can last 25+ years. SBR rubber outdoors will deteriorate in 3–5 years from UV; EPDM compound lasts 15–25 years in outdoor conditions.
Is rubber matting safe for food production areas?
Standard SBR rubber matting is not food-grade. For food production, catering and kitchen environments, specify rubber matting that is food-grade approved — typically nitrile or EPDM compounds manufactured to food safety standards, with smooth closed-cell surfaces that do not harbour bacteria. Check product specifications for EC 1935/2004 or FDA compliance where required.
Can rubber matting be cut to size?
Yes — rubber matting rolls are sold by the linear metre and can be cut to your exact length. Most rubber mats up to 10mm can be cut with a sharp Stanley knife and straight edge. Thicker mats (15mm+) are easier to cut with a jigsaw. Rubberco can also supply pre-cut mats to your specified dimensions for bulk orders.
How do I fix rubber matting to the floor?
Light-duty rubber mats typically stay in place without fixing due to their weight and rubber-on-floor grip. For permanent commercial installations: use rubber flooring adhesive (contact adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive) on clean, dry subfloors. In wet areas, perimeter taping and drain recessing prevents water ingress under the mat. Heavy-duty anti-fatigue mats often have bevelled edges specifically to prevent trip hazards without fixing.
What is the best rubber matting for a workshop?
For automotive and engineering workshops: specify nitrile rubber matting for oil and fuel resistance. Standard thickness is 6-10mm for floor protection and anti-fatigue benefit. Coin pattern provides the best grip in oily conditions. For dry workshops handling heavy items, studded SBR matting at 10-15mm offers the best value and durability. Anti-fatigue rubber mats at workbench stations significantly reduce operator fatigue on long shifts.
Does rubber matting reduce noise?
Yes — rubber is one of the most effective materials for impact sound reduction. Rubber matting under gym equipment, machinery and in high-traffic corridors measurably reduces both airborne noise and impact sound transmission. For acoustic applications, specify mass-loaded rubber barrier mat or purpose-designed acoustic rubber underlays with high density (minimum 5kg/m²). See our acoustic rubber range for specialist noise reduction products.
Is rubber matting environmentally friendly?
Much of Rubberco's rubber matting range is made from recycled SBR rubber — typically sourced from end-of-life vehicle tyres. Recycled rubber compounds deliver comparable performance to virgin rubber for most flooring applications, while significantly reducing landfill. Recycled rubber matting carries the same hardwearing characteristics and anti-slip properties as virgin rubber. EPDM-based products are generally manufactured from virgin polymer for consistency of compound properties.
