At 1.4m wide, each roll covers 7m² – perfect for single garages, workbenches, under machinery, or utility room flooring. Cut to size with a sharp knife for custom applications. Unlike rigid flooring options, our flexible rubber sheet conforms to uneven surfaces and provides cushioning underfoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this rubber sheet in my garage with cars driving on it?
Yes! We recommend the 5mm or 6mm thickness for garages with vehicle traffic. The SBR rubber is designed to withstand the weight of cars and light vans without compressing or cracking. It also resists oil and petrol spills common in garage environments.
How do I cut the rubber sheet to size?
Use a sharp Stanley knife and a metal straight edge. Score the rubber with firm pressure, then make 2-3 more passes to cut through completely. Always use fresh blades – rubber dulls knives quickly. For curves, use heavy-duty scissors or tin snips.
Do I need adhesive to install rubber sheet flooring?
Not always. For most workshop and garage applications, the weight of the rubber (31-63kg depending on thickness) keeps it in place. For high-traffic areas or if edges curl, use rubber flooring adhesive for permanent installation or double-sided tape for a removable option.
What's the difference between 3mm and 6mm rubber sheet?
Thickness affects durability, cushioning and suitability: 3mm is ideal for bench tops and drawer liners where flexibility matters. 6mm provides maximum durability for heavy foot traffic, vehicles, and under machinery. For most garage floors, 5mm offers the best balance of performance and value.
How long will SBR rubber sheet last?
With proper care, SBR rubber flooring typically lasts 10-20 years in workshop and garage environments. The exact lifespan depends on traffic levels, chemical exposure, and maintenance. Our rubber is cut from fresh stock – not old or degraded material that's been sitting in warehouses.
