How to Measure for Cut-to-Size Matting

Step-by-Step Measuring Guide

  1. Clear the area - Remove obstacles and clean the floor surface
  2. Use a metal tape measure - More accurate than fabric tapes
  3. Measure in millimetres - Provides precision for cutting
  4. Take multiple measurements - Width at both ends, length at both sides (rooms aren't always square)
  5. Note obstacles - Mark position and size of pipes, pillars, door frames
  6. Create a sketch - Draw the shape with all measurements clearly labelled
  7. Add photos - Pictures help us understand complex requirements

Tips for Accurate Measurements

  • For doorways: Measure at floor level, accounting for door swing clearance
  • For irregular shapes: Break down into rectangles and triangles, measure each
  • For around obstacles: Measure distance from walls to obstacle centre, then obstacle diameter
  • Allow for expansion: In unheated spaces, leave 2-3mm gap per metre for thermal movement

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the minimum order for cut-to-size matting?

There's no minimum order quantity. We're happy to cut a single piece to your specifications. However, cutting charges apply to smaller orders—for pieces under £50 material value, expect a minimum £15 cutting charge. This ensures accurate, quality cuts regardless of order size.

Can you cut shapes from a drawing or template?

Yes. We accept hand-drawn sketches (with clear measurements), CAD drawings, PDF files, and even photos with dimensions marked. For very complex shapes, you can send us a cardboard or paper template and we'll cut to match exactly.

How accurate is the cutting?

Our cutting equipment achieves accuracy within ±1mm for straight cuts and ±2mm for complex shapes. For applications requiring tighter tolerances, please specify at quote stage and we'll advise if achievable.

Do you offer fitting services?

We focus on supply rather than installation. However, we can recommend trusted fitting contractors in many UK areas. Our cut-to-size matting is designed for straightforward installation—most customers fit it themselves without difficulty.

Can you match existing matting?

If you need additional pieces to match existing flooring, send us a sample or photo with dimensions. We'll identify the material and cut matching pieces. Note that rubber from different batches may have slight colour variation—this is normal for rubber products.

What if my measurements are wrong?

Cutting errors from incorrect customer measurements cannot be returned. We strongly recommend double-checking all dimensions before ordering. If you're uncertain about measuring, describe your project to our team—we can advise on best approach and flag common pitfalls.
