Checker Plate vs Other Rubber Flooring - Comparison Guide
Checker Plate vs Fine Ribbed Matting: Checker plate offers multi-directional grip (ideal for turning/pivoting). Fine ribbed provides directional grip. Choose checker plate for areas with movement in all directions.
Checker Plate vs Studded/Penny: Both offer excellent slip resistance. Checker plate is more comfortable underfoot and easier to clean. Studded provides maximum grip in extremely wet/oily conditions. Choose checker plate for general industrial use.
Checker Plate vs Smooth Rubber Sheet: Checker plate provides far superior slip resistance. Smooth rubber is easier to clean but offers minimal grip. Choose checker plate for safety-critical areas.
Checker Plate vs Broad Ribbed: Checker plate offers multi-directional grip. Broad ribbed provides aggressive directional grip. Checker plate is more versatile for varied traffic patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is checker plate rubber flooring used for?
Checker plate rubber flooring is a heavy-duty anti-slip surface used for industrial floors, workshops, garages, wet areas, walkways, and commercial spaces. The raised diamond pattern provides multi-directional grip, making it ideal for areas where slip resistance is critical.
What thickness checker plate for a workshop?
For home workshops and light commercial use, 3mm thickness is ideal. For professional workshops with heavy tool use, machinery, and high traffic, choose 4mm thickness for maximum durability and longevity.
Does checker plate matting need to be glued down?
No, the anti-creep impression finish on the reverse side prevents movement in most applications, allowing loose lay installation. However, for permanent installations or high-movement areas, contact adhesive is recommended for edges and seams.
Can checker plate rubber be used in wet areas?
Yes! Checker plate rubber flooring is excellent for wet areas. The raised diamond pattern provides superior slip resistance when wet, and the rubber is waterproof. Ideal for wash bays, cleaning stations, and wet workshops.
How do I cut checker plate rubber flooring?
Use a sharp utility knife with a fresh blade and metal straight edge. Score the rubber multiple times along your cutting line. For 3mm, you can cut through in 2-3 passes. For 4mm, score from both sides for clean cuts.
Is checker plate rubber oil resistant?
Checker plate rubber has good resistance to light oil exposure, making it suitable for workshops and garages with occasional oil spills. For heavy oil/fuel environments, consider our nitrile rubber products.
Can I use checker plate rubber in my garage?
Absolutely! Checker plate rubber is one of the most popular garage flooring options. It provides slip resistance, insulates against cold concrete, is easy to clean, and withstands vehicle traffic. Choose 3mm for car garages, 4mm for heavy vehicle/workshop use.
What's the difference between 3mm and 4mm thickness?
3mm is suitable for light-medium traffic and residential use - more economical. 4mm provides 33% more material, offering better durability, cushioning, and insulation for heavy-duty industrial and commercial applications.
How wide is checker plate rubber matting?
Our checker plate rubber flooring is 1200mm (1.2m / 4ft) wide. This standard width is ideal for walkways, aisles, and work areas. For wider coverage, lay multiple strips side-by-side.
Does checker plate rubber insulate against cold floors?
Yes! Rubber provides excellent thermal insulation, making it ideal for cold concrete garage and workshop floors. The thicker 4mm option provides maximum insulation and comfort in unheated spaces.
