Rubber Matting Rolls: The Complete Guide for Industrial, Commercial and Domestic Use

In today’s demanding commercial and industrial environments, finding the right flooring solution is crucial for safety, durability, and functionality. Rubber matting rolls have emerged as an exceptional option for a wide range of applications, from busy workshops and factories to gyms and stables. At Trusted Mats, we offer premium-quality rubber roll matting designed to meet the diverse needs of our customers while providing long-lasting performance in even the most challenging conditions.

What are Rubber Matting Rolls?

Rubber roll mats are versatile flooring products manufactured in continuous lengths to cover large areas efficiently. These durable sheets of rubber material come in various thicknesses, widths, and surface patterns, making them adaptable to numerous applications across different industries.

What are Rubber Mat Rolls used for?

Rubber mat rolls are versatile products that can be used in a variety of commercial and industrial settings, such as factories, warehouses, gyms, and retail spaces. They are commonly used as flooring to provide grip, traction, and insulation, and can help to improve safety in high-traffic areas.

Installation of Rubber Roll Mats

Installing rubber roll flooring is straightforward with these basic steps:

1. Preparation: Ensure the underlying surface is clean, dry, and level
2. Measuring and cutting: Measure your area carefully and cut the matting with a sharp utility knife, allowing for slight contraction
3. Positioning: Unroll the matting and allow it to relax for 24 hours before final positioning
4. Fixing (if required): For permanent installation, apply suitable rubber adhesive according to manufacturer instructions
5. Finishing: Trim edges as needed for a precise fit

How do you clean and maintain Rubber Mat Rolls?

To maximise the lifespan of your rubber matting rolls:

1. Regular cleaning: Sweep or vacuum loose debris regularly
2. Wet cleaning: Use a damp mop with mild detergent for routine cleaning
3. Deep cleaning: For stubborn dirt, use a scrub brush with diluted cleaning solution, avoiding harsh chemicals that may damage the rubber
4. Inspection: Periodically check for signs of wear or damage
5. Repositioning: For loose-laid mats, occasionally reposition to distribute wear evenly

Why choose Rubber Roll Flooring and what are the benefits?

Investing in quality rubber roll flooring offers numerous advantages that make it superior to alternative flooring options:

1. Exceptional Durability and Longevity

Our rubber roll mats are engineered to withstand intensive daily use in demanding environments. With excellent wear resistance, these mats maintain their functionality and appearance even in areas with heavy foot traffic or equipment use. This exceptional durability translates to lower replacement costs and better value over time.

2. Superior Slip Resistance to Improve Safety

Safety is paramount in any workspace, and our rubber matting rolls excel in providing reliable traction. With excellent slip resistance ratings, our mats significantly reduce the risk of accidents in both dry and wet conditions. The various surface patterns—from fine ribbed to drainable rolls with holes —further enhance grip and stability in all environments.

3. Versatile Application Options

Rubber roll matting adapts effortlessly to diverse settings:

• Industrial environments: Factories, warehouses, and workshops
• Commercial spaces: Retail floors, kitchens, and service areas
• Fitness facilities: Gyms, weight rooms, and sports centres
• Agricultural settings: Stables, barns, and equestrian areas
• Domestic use: Garages, utility rooms, and home gyms

4. Easy Installation and Maintenance

Unlike complex flooring systems, rubber roll mats offer straightforward installation options. They can be:

• Laid loose for temporary use or easy repositioning
• Bonded to the surface with rubber-suitable adhesive for permanent installation
• Cut easily to fit specific dimensions using basic tools

Maintenance is equally simple, requiring only routine cleaning with a damp mop and mild detergent to maintain appearance and functionality.

What are the different types of Rubber Mat Rolls available?

At Trusted Mats we offer a range of rubber mat rolls in different grades, patterns, and sizes, including:

Fine Ribbed Rubber Roll Matting

Our fine ribbed (sometimes called corrugated) rubber matting features closely spaced ridges that provide excellent traction while remaining comfortable to walk on. Available in both 3mm and 6mm thicknesses, this versatile option works exceptionally well in:

The wider channels allow for effective liquid drainage, maintaining grip even in wet environments.

Penny Dot Rubber Roll Matting

Distinguished by its raised circular pattern, penny dot rubber roll flooring provides:

• Excellent slip resistance from multiple angles

These specialised mats have been scientifically proven to improve productivity by reducing worker fatigue in standing positions.

Choosing the Right Rubber Matting Roll for Your Application

Selecting the optimal rubber roll matting depends on several key factors:

1. Environment Assessment
   Consider the specific conditions where your matting will be installed:

• Moisture exposure: For wet areas, choose drainage options with holes or deeply textured surfaces
• Chemical exposure: Select specialised rubber compounds for environments with oils or chemicals
• Temperature fluctuations: Consider thermal properties for extremely hot or cold settings
• UV exposure: For outdoor applications, choose UV-resistant formulations

2. Traffic Intensity
   The volume and type of traffic impacts your ideal thickness and durability requirements:

• Light foot traffic: 3mm thickness may be sufficient
• Moderate mixed use: 6mm provides balanced performance
• Heavy industrial use: 10-12mm offers maximum durability and protection

3. Surface Pattern Selection
   Different patterns serve specific functional needs:

• Fine ribbed: General-purpose traction with comfort
• Wide ribbed: Enhanced drainage and more aggressive grip
• Penny dot: Balanced appearance and functionality
• Diamond: Maximum traction for demanding environments

4. Size and Installation Method
   Consider how the rubber matting roll will be fitted into your space:

• Standard rolls: 10-metre lengths in various widths
• Custom cutting: We can provide precisely cut lengths to minimise waste
• Installation approach: Decide between loose-laying for temporary use or adhesive bonding for permanent installation

How thick should Rubber Mat Rolls be?

The thickness of rubber mat rolls can vary depending on the intended use and the level of foot or vehicle traffic in the area. Generally, mats with more depth provide better cushioning and insulation, while thinner mats are more suitable for areas with light foot traffic. Our rubber mat rolls range in thickness from 3mm to 12mm.

Can Rubber Mat Rolls be cut to size?

Most rubber mat rolls can be cut to size to fit any area using a utility knife or scissors. We also offer tiled rubber mats that can be easily configured to fit any size or shape of area.

How can Rubber Mat Rolls improve workplace safety and reduce the risk of accidents?

Rubber mat rolls provide a slip-resistant surface that can help to reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls in the workplace. They also provide cushioning and shock absorption, reducing the risk of injury from repetitive strain or impact. Additionally, they can help to reduce noise and vibration, creating a more comfortable and productive work environment.

What are the long-term cost benefits of using Rubber Mat Rolls in commercial and industrial settings?

Rubber mat rolls are a cost-effective flooring solution that can help to reduce maintenance and replacement costs over time. They are durable and long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Additionally, they provide a slip-resistant surface that can help to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, potentially lowering insurance and healthcare costs. Anti-Fatigue mats have also been scientifically proven to help improve productivity in the workforce.

In factories, warehouses, and production facilities, rubber roll flooring provides:
