Van Rubber Flooring UK
Rubber van flooring protects the cargo area of your van from scratches, dents, chemical spills and wear. A properly fitted rubber liner also prevents loads from sliding during transit, reducing damage to goods and improving safety when loading and unloading.
Why Use Rubber Van Flooring?
- Protects the van floor: Prevents scratches and corrosion from metal tools, boxes and equipment
- Prevents load shift: Anti-slip surface grips cargo and prevents sliding in transit
- Easy to clean: Sweep or hose down — liquids drain through studded or perforated patterns
- Reduces noise: Rubber absorbs vibration and road noise from the cargo area
- Maintains van value: A protected floor maintains residual value at resale

Cutting to Your Van Dimensions
Rubberco supplies all van flooring rubber cut to your specified dimensions. Standard van cargo areas range from 1.2m to 1.4m wide and 1.8m to 2.8m long. Measure your van floor accurately and order the exact size — rubber sheet cuts cleanly with a Stanley knife and steel rule on-site for final fitting.
What thickness rubber should I use for van flooring?
For general van use with tools and boxes, 3mm to 4mm studded or ribbed rubber is sufficient and remains lightweight. For heavier loads — scaffold boards, building materials, heavy equipment — use 6mm to 8mm. Nitrile rubber at 4mm to 6mm is recommended if you regularly carry items with oil or fuel leakage risk.
How do I fix rubber flooring in a van?
Most rubber van liners lie loose and are held in place by the weight of the rubber and cargo. For a permanent installation, use contact adhesive along the edges and corners. Always clean the van floor thoroughly before gluing — oil, dirt and old adhesive residue will prevent bonding. Cut around wheel arch housings and fittings with a sharp knife for a neat finish.
