Key Benefits & Features

🛡️ Exceptional Durability
Engineered to withstand heavy loads, constant foot traffic, and vehicle movement. Our SBR rubber maintains its integrity even in the harshest industrial environments, providing years of reliable service.

💧 Water & Oil Resistant
Excellent resistance to water, weak acids, alkalis, and mineral oils. Perfect for workshops, garages, and manufacturing facilities where spills are common.

🔇 Noise & Vibration Reduction
Natural dampening properties reduce noise transmission and absorb vibrations from machinery and equipment, creating a quieter, more comfortable working environment.

⚡ Anti-Slip Surface
The textured surface provides excellent grip, even when wet, reducing slip hazards in busy work areas and improving workplace safety.

✂️ Easy to Cut & Install
Can be easily cut to size using a sharp knife or scissors. Install with contact adhesive, double-sided tape, or leave loose-laid for temporary applications.

🧹 Low Maintenance
Simple to clean with standard industrial cleaners. The non-porous surface resists staining and doesn't harbour bacteria or odours.

Installation Guide - How to Install Rubber Sheet

Step 1: Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and debris. For permanent installation, the surface should be smooth and level.

Step 2: Cutting to Size
Measure carefully and mark cutting lines. Use a sharp utility knife and straight edge for clean cuts. For thicker sheets (15mm+), score multiple times.

Step 3: Installation Methods
• Loose-laid: Simply roll out for temporary applications
• Adhesive: Apply contact adhesive to both surfaces, allow to become tacky, then press firmly
• Double-sided tape: Quick installation for lighter applications
• Mechanical fixing: Use washers and screws around perimeter for permanent fixing

Step 4: Finishing
Roll with a heavy roller to ensure full contact and remove air bubbles. Allow adhesive to cure for 24 hours before heavy use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SBR and natural rubber?

SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) offers superior abrasion resistance and better aging properties than natural rubber. It's more resistant to oils and chemicals, making it ideal for industrial applications. Natural rubber has better elasticity but degrades faster in harsh environments.

Can I use this rubber sheet outdoors?

Yes, our heavy duty black rubber sheet can be used outdoors. However, prolonged UV exposure will cause gradual degradation. For permanent outdoor installations, we recommend our UV-stabilized rubber products.

Is this rubber sheet food safe?

This is industrial-grade rubber and is not certified for direct food contact. For food industry applications, please contact us for food-grade rubber options.

How do I clean rubber sheet flooring?

Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove debris. Mop with warm water and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents which may damage the rubber.

What thickness do I need for a garage floor?

For domestic garages with car traffic, 10mm is ideal. For commercial garages or areas with van/light truck traffic, choose 12-15mm. For forklift traffic, opt for 20-25mm thickness.

Can I get this cut to a specific size?

Yes! We offer a cut-to-size service. Contact us with your exact dimensions and we'll provide a quote. Standard linear metre pricing applies - you only pay for what you need.
