Decking Mats: Essential Safety Solutions for Outdoor Spaces

Transform your outdoor decking area into a safer, more durable space with decking mats. Designed to tackle the common challenges associated with wooden decking surfaces, our collection of non slip decking mats provides superior grip and protection in all weather conditions. Whether you’re looking to enhance residential patios, garden decking, or commercial outdoor areas, our rubber decking mats offer practical solutions that combine safety with style.

Types of Decking Mats Available

Our range includes several versatile options to suit different spaces and requirements:

Compact Door Mats – Perfect for small entryways and doorways leading to decked areas, providing immediate slip protection where it’s needed most. A recommended choice here is the Rubber Ramp Mat.

Long Runner Mats – Ideal for creating safe pathways across decking, these runners offer extended coverage for high-traffic walkways and access routes. Options include Floorline Anti Slip Roll Matting and Heronair Roll Matting.

Interlocking Tile Mats – The most flexible solution for covering larger or irregularly shaped decking areas. These tiles connect seamlessly to provide complete coverage that can be customised to any layout. Our recommendation would be the Interlock Flow Rubber Tiles.

Decking Strips – These are secured in place with glue or nails. Their streamlined look is a major draw for those who want something less noticeable than bulky mats. They’re also the go-to choice for steps, where loose mats simply aren’t a safe or practical option.

Each option features the same durable, waterproof construction and drainage capabilities that make decking mats so effective.

How Rubber Decking Mats Enhance Safety and Durability

Rubber decking mats function as a protective, high-traction layer placed over existing wooden surfaces. The textured surface delivers exceptional grip underfoot, whilst holes allow water, dirt, and debris to pass through freely. A flow-through design, such as in Drainable Rubber Roll Matting, prevents puddles from forming and ensures the surface remains as safe as possible, even during heavy rainfall.

Beyond safety, these mats serve a protective function for your decking investment. Constructed from heavy-duty, weather-resistant materials, they shield the wood beneath from damage caused by foot traffic and adverse weather conditions. This protection extends to any paint or varnish coating, helping to preserve the finish and considerably prolonging the lifespan of your decking.

For wheelchair users, decking mats provide essential accessibility improvements. Wheels gain the traction needed on wet surfaces and access ramps, whilst the smooth mat surface eliminates issues with ridges and gaps between decking boards where wheels might otherwise become lodged.

Commercial Decking Mats

When it comes to commercial decking applications, accessibility and safety are paramount. These high-traffic environments require non-slip solutions that accommodate everyone, this included individuals using walking sticks or wheelchairs, or those wearing high heeled shoes. The surface needs to provide reliable traction without compromising mobility. This is where Frontrunner XT truly excels, specifically designed for commercial settings, it delivers robust slip resistance with a surface that’s also friendly to wheels, heels, and walking aids alike. It’s an ideal solution for restaurants, hotels, office buildings, and any public space where both safety and universal accessibility are non-negotiable.

Additional Benefits of Non Slip Decking Mats

Whilst safety remains the primary advantage, rubber decking mats offer several other practical benefits. They effectively smooth out uneven surfaces where decking planks have lifted or become damaged through wear, significantly reducing trip hazards. The flat surface contours to the existing decking, creating a more uniform walking surface.

Installation couldn’t be simpler. Unlike permanent modifications, decking mats can be laid directly onto your existing surface without adhesives or complex fittings. This means you can instantly upgrade your outdoor space with minimal effort and no specialist tools required.

Maintenance is equally straightforward. The durable construction resists moss and algae build-up better than bare wood, and the mats can be easily cleaned when needed to maintain optimal performance and appearance.

Creating Safer Outdoor Spaces

Whether you’re enhancing a residential garden, patio, balcony, or commercial decking area, investing in quality decking mats represents a practical, cost-effective safety upgrade. The combination of superior grip, weather resistance, and protective qualities makes rubber decking mats an essential addition to any outdoor wooden surface.

With quick installation, minimal maintenance requirements, and the ability to dramatically reduce slip and trip hazards, these mats deliver peace of mind alongside improved functionality. Protect your family, visitors, guests or customers whilst extending the life of your decking investment with our comprehensive range of anti slip decking solutions.

Choosing the Right Decking Mats for Your Space

Selecting the most suitable anti slip decking mats depends on several key factors:

Coverage Requirements – Measure your decking area carefully to determine whether individual mats, runners, or interlocking tiles will provide the best coverage for your specific layout.

Surface Texture – Look for mats with pronounced textured surfaces and adequate drainage holes to maximise slip resistance in wet conditions.

Aesthetic Considerations – Our decking mats are available in natural colours including black, brown, grey, and green, allowing you to choose options that complement your outdoor space rather than detract from its appearance.

Durability Needs – Consider the level of foot traffic and weather exposure your decking experiences to ensure you select mats that will perform reliably over time.

Cleaning and Storage – Roll mats such as Floorline and Heronair can be lifted for thorough cleaning underneath and easily stored away during warmer months when they’re not needed. The compact Rubber Ramp Mat is also a great option for those who don’t want the mats down all year round.
