Rubber Matting Roll Types — Which Surface Pattern Do You Need?
| Surface Pattern | Best Application | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Fine Ribbed | Corridors, walkways, ramps, van floors | Directional grip, channels water away from underfoot |
| Diamond / Checker Plate | Industrial workshops, loading bays, garages | Aggressive anti-slip pattern, oil-resistant surface |
| Coin / Studded | Gyms, retail, entrance areas | Circular stud pattern, professional finish, excellent drainage |
| Smooth | Workbenches, seals, underlays, equestrian | Clean surface for precise cutting, gasketing, anti-vibration use |
| Open Mesh / Drainage | Wet process areas, washdown bays, pool surrounds | Allows water to drain through, remains grippy when wet |
| Stable Mat (Smooth Thick) | Stables, kennels, livestock areas | Extra thick, easy to clean, cushioned for animal comfort |

Rubber Compound Guide — SBR vs EPDM vs Nitrile
| Compound | Best For | Key Properties | Avoid If |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBR (Standard) | General indoor use — workshops, gyms, stables | High abrasion resistance, excellent grip, cost-effective | Prolonged UV exposure, oil immersion |
| EPDM | Outdoor areas, roof walkways, garden paths | UV stable, ozone resistant, weatherproof, won't crack | Heavy oil/solvent environments |
| Nitrile (NBR) | Commercial kitchens, workshops with oils, food areas | Excellent oil, fuel & grease resistance | General indoor use (costs more than necessary) |
| Neoprene (CR) | Chemical environments, refrigeration, marine | Resistant to mild acids, ozone, weathering | Strong solvents |
| Electrical Insulating | Switchgear rooms, electrical substations | BS EN 61111 certified, rated 3kV–36kV | Non-electrical environments (specialist product) |
Applications — Where Rubber Matting Rolls Excel
Industrial & Warehouse
Heavy-duty SBR or nitrile rubber rolls provide continuous anti-slip flooring across factory floors, loading bays, and production lines. The ribbed or checker-plate surface channels away liquids and provides R10–R11 rated slip resistance — meeting HSE Workplace Regulations 1992. Our industrial rolls withstand pallet truck and forklift traffic and resist the abrasion of heavy foot traffic on concrete.
Gym & Fitness Centres
Rubber matting rolls are the preferred solution for commercial gym flooring across CrossFit boxes, HIIT studios, and functional training areas. A continuous rubber roll eliminates tile join lines that can catch feet or equipment, creating a seamless floor. 10–15mm thickness absorbs impact from dropped barbells and protects the subfloor, while dense rubber construction significantly reduces noise transmission to floors below.
Stables & Equestrian Facilities
17–22mm smooth rubber stable matting rolls provide a hygienic, cushioned floor surface for horses. Unlike straw bedding alone, rubber rolls are non-porous, bacteria-resistant, and easy to pressure-wash clean. They insulate against cold concrete, reduce bedding requirements by up to 50%, and cushion the joints and hooves of horses in standing boxes. The British Horse Society recommends a minimum 17mm thickness for full-time stable use.
Commercial Kitchens & Food Production
Nitrile rubber matting rolls are the specification choice for professional kitchens, food preparation, and beverage production environments. Resistant to animal fats, cooking oils, and cleaning chemicals, nitrile rubber maintains its non-slip surface even in oily, wet conditions. Food-grade EPDM options are also available for HACCP compliance.
Garages & Automotive Workshops
Protect concrete garage floors from oil drips, dropped tools, and vehicle weight with heavy-duty rubber matting rolls. Diamond-plate patterned nitrile rolls resist automotive fluids and provide grip underfoot even when wet. Rolls can be cut precisely to fit around inspection pits, ramps, and workshop machinery.
How to Install Rubber Matting Rolls
- Prepare the surface — Clean, dry, and level. Repair any cracks or trip hazards in the subfloor.
- Acclimatise — Unroll and lay flat in the room 24–48 hours before fitting. Rubber is thermoplastic and relaxes to room temperature.
- Loose lay (light traffic) — Use double-sided carpet tape or rubber edge trim to secure perimeters. Suitable for most domestic and light commercial applications.
- Full adhesive bond (heavy traffic) — Apply rubber flooring adhesive to the clean substrate, allow to become touch-dry, then lay the roll and press firmly. Essential for forklift areas or high-traffic commercial spaces.
- Cut to fit — Use a sharp Stanley knife or hook blade, cutting from the underside for the cleanest edge. A straight edge or chalk line ensures accurate cuts around machinery and obstacles.
- Seal joints — Where two rolls meet, use rubber jointing tape or cold-weld adhesive for a seamless, trip-hazard-free finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What widths do rubber matting rolls come in?
Our rubber matting rolls are available in widths of 1.0m, 1.2m, 1.25m, 1.5m, and 2.0m. The 1.25m width is our most popular for commercial applications. All rolls can be cut to your exact required length — no minimum order applies.
What is the best rubber matting roll for a gym?
For gyms, we recommend a 10–15mm thick ribbed or smooth rubber matting roll in SBR compound. This thickness absorbs impact from dropped weights, reduces noise transmission, and provides excellent grip underfoot. For Olympic weightlifting platforms, 20mm+ rolls are advisable.
Can rubber matting rolls be cut to size?
Yes — all our rubber matting rolls are sold by the metre and cut to your exact required length. Whether you need 0.5m or 50m, we cut precisely to order. No minimum order, and you only pay for what you need.
What rubber compound should I choose for an industrial environment?
For industrial environments, choose nitrile (NBR) for oil and chemical resistance, EPDM for outdoor or UV-exposed areas, or SBR for general-purpose heavy-duty use. For electrical safety, specify our BS EN 61111 insulating rubber. If in doubt, contact us and we will match the correct compound to your application.
How do I install rubber matting rolls?
For light traffic areas, rubber rolls can be loose-laid and held with edge trim or double-sided tape. For heavy industrial use, bond the roll to a clean, dry concrete substrate using appropriate rubber flooring adhesive. Allow 24–48 hours to acclimatise to room temperature before cutting and fitting.
Are rubber matting rolls suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — EPDM rubber matting rolls are specifically formulated for outdoor applications. UV-stable and weatherproof, EPDM rolls will not crack, fade, or degrade in UK weather conditions. They are ideal for garden paths, roof walkways, playground surfaces, and outdoor ramps.
