The thickness depends on your workout type:

• 12mm: Light cardio, yoga, and stretching
• 15-18mm: General weightlifting and most home gyms
• 20mm+: Olympic lifting, CrossFit, and commercial gyms

Our 18mm rubber gym mats are perfect for most applications.

Measure your space (length × width) and add 5% for cuts and future repairs. Our 6ft x 4ft mats cover 24 sq ft each. Example: a 12ft x 10ft space (120 sq ft) needs 5 mats minimum. Check our complete gym flooring calculator guide.

Yes! Our interlocking gym mats work perfectly over concrete, providing cushioning and protection. Ensure the concrete is clean, dry, and level. No adhesive required for our interlocking gym tiles.

New rubber mats may have a mild odour that dissipates within 24-48 hours in a well-ventilated space. This is normal and not harmful. All our mats are made from high-quality, non-toxic materials.

Our standard 6ft x 4ft stable mats fit most UK stables. A 12ft x 12ft stable typically needs 6 mats. For larger horses or foaling boxes, consider 12ft x 12ft spaces with 9 mats for full coverage.

Our stable mats have textured surfaces that allow liquids to drain through gaps between interlocking pieces. The rubber surface prevents ammonia build-up and makes mucking out easier compared to bare concrete.

Yes, our stable mats are specifically designed for equine use. They provide cushioning for joints, are non-slip when wet, and contain no harmful chemicals. The 18mm thickness offers excellent comfort for standing and lying down.

Our 15mm grass protection mats distribute weight across the surface, preventing rutting and soil compaction. The open design allows grass to grow through while providing a stable surface for vehicles and foot traffic.

Yes! Our heavy-duty grass mats support vehicle weights including cars, vans, and tractors. They're ideal for temporary access roads, caravan pitches, and gateway protection. The interlocking design spreads load effectively.

Installation is simple: level the ground, lay mats in a brick pattern, and interlock the edges. No tools or fixings required. For permanent installation, use ground spikes around the perimeter. See our complete installation guide.

Yes, our mats are fully reusable. Simply lift and stack them for storage. The grass underneath will typically recover within a few weeks, making them perfect for temporary events or seasonal use.

SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) offers excellent durability and oil resistance at lower cost. Natural rubber provides superior elasticity and tear resistance. Our industrial SBR sheets are perfect for most workshop and flooring applications.

Yes, our SBR rubber products resist oils, fuels, and most chemicals. Our nitrile rubber workshop mats offer superior oil resistance for automotive and industrial applications.

R11 is a slip resistance rating meaning the surface provides grip on slopes up to 27°. Our R11 studded flooring meets commercial safety standards for wet areas and industrial applications.

Most applications don't require adhesive. Interlocking mats stay in place through weight and friction. Use adhesive for high-traffic areas, slopes, or where mats might shift. We recommend contact adhesive for permanent installations.

Regular cleaning: sweep and mop with warm water and mild detergent. For deep cleaning: use a pressure washer or scrubbing brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the rubber. See our complete maintenance guide.

Yes! Use a sharp Stanley knife, jigsaw, or circular saw with a fine blade. Score thin mats (under 10mm) multiple times and bend to break. For thicker mats, cut completely through. Always wear safety equipment when cutting.

Quality rubber mats typically last 10-20 years depending on use and environment. Our heavy-duty commercial mats are designed for decades of use. UV, extreme temperatures, and chemicals can affect lifespan, but our UV-stabilized products resist outdoor degradation.

Yes, we offer free UK mainland delivery on all orders. Most products qualify for next working day delivery when ordered before 1pm. Highland and island deliveries may take 2-3 days.

Products sold per metre come from rolls of fixed width (typically 1.2m or 1.5m wide). You order the length needed - e.g., ordering "3" gives you 3 metres of length. Perfect for custom-sized installations where tiles don't fit.

Our mats support substantial weight when properly installed on firm surfaces:

• 15mm grass mats: Vehicle traffic including tractors
• 18mm stable mats: 800kg+ horses safely
• 20mm+ gym mats: Olympic lifting (200kg+ dropped weights)

Contact us for specific load requirements for your application.

Most of our standard mats are not fire-rated as they're designed for external, industrial, or non-public use. We do stock fire-rated options for specific applications like public buildings. Contact us to discuss fire rating requirements for your project.

Yes! Our mats are UV-stabilized and weather-resistant. They won't crack, fade significantly, or become brittle in UK weather. Perfect for outdoor gyms, patios, walkways, and playground areas. See our outdoor matting guide.

Our commercial kitchen mats are food-safe and designed for restaurant use. They resist grease, provide anti-slip properties, and are easy to clean. Not all rubber products are food-safe, so check specifications or contact us for food service applications.

Yes, we can custom-cut many products to your exact requirements. This includes shaped cuts, holes, and specific dimensions. Custom cutting typically adds 3-5 working days to delivery. Contact us with drawings or measurements for a quote.

• Reduced injury claims (anti-fatigue, slip resistance)
• Lower maintenance costs
• Equipment protection (gyms, workshops)
• Increased property value
