What thickness rubber matting do I need?

For light foot traffic, 3-4mm is sufficient. For gyms and workshops, 6-12mm provides cushioning. For heavy machinery and industrial use, 15-25mm is recommended. Our team can advise on the best thickness for your specific application.

Is rubber matting slip resistant?

Yes, all our rubber matting is slip-resistant. Products marked R11 meet the highest commercial slip-resistance standards and are suitable for wet, oily, and high-traffic areas. We supply NHS trusts, councils, and commercial kitchens.

Do you offer free UK delivery?

Yes, we offer free UK delivery on most orders. We dispatch same-day from our UK warehouse for orders placed before 2pm. Trade and bulk orders over £500 qualify for additional discounts.

Can rubber matting be used outdoors?

Yes, many of our products are suitable for outdoor use including playgrounds, patios, walkways, and equestrian areas. Our EPDM and recycled rubber products are UV-stable and weather-resistant.

What is the best flooring for a home gym?

For home gyms, we recommend 12-18mm interlocking rubber tiles or gym mats. They protect your floor from weights, reduce noise, and provide cushioning for exercises. Our Classico and Durasof ranges are popular choices.

Do you supply to trade and businesses?

Professional-Grade Equestrian Flooring — Engineered for Performance

Our heavy-duty interlocking rubber stable mats represent the gold standard in equestrian flooring. Manufactured from premium recycled rubber compound, each mat delivers exceptional durability, superior grip, and lasting comfort for horses of all sizes.

Unlike inferior alternatives that crack, curl, or degrade within months, these mats are specifically engineered to withstand the unique demands of equine environments — concentrated hoof weight, moisture exposure, urine, and cleaning chemicals.

The 18mm thickness provides optimal cushioning to reduce joint stress and fatigue, whilst the non-slip bubble-pattern surface ensures secure footing even when wet. Precision-engineered interlocking edges create seamless coverage that eliminates gaps where bedding waste accumulates, dramatically reducing mucking-out time and improving stable hygiene.
