Rubber Mats vs Rubber Matting Rolls

Another factor to consider when buying rubber mats is whether to choose rubber mats or rubber mat rolls. Rubber mats are pre-cut pieces of rubber that have a fixed size and shape. Rubber mat rolls are continuous sheets of rubber that can be cut and customised to fit your space. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, depending on your needs and preferences.

Some of the advantages of rubber mats are:

• They are easy to install and remove. You can simply lay them on the floor without any adhesive or fasteners.
• They tend to have finished edges, such as ramped borders for safety and appearance.
• They are easy to replace and repair. You can swap them out if they get damaged or worn out.
• They have a uniform and consistent appearance. You can choose from various colours, patterns, and finishes to match your style.

Some of the disadvantages of rubber mats are:

• They have limited sizes and shapes. You might not find a rubber mat that fits your space perfectly or covers the desired area.
• They have seams and gaps between them. You might need to use connectors or edging to join them together and create a smooth and seamless surface.
• They can curl or shift on the floor. You might need to use tape or glue to secure them in place and prevent them from moving or lifting.

Some of the advantages of rubber mat rolls are:

• They are flexible and customisable. You can cut and shape them to fit your space and cover the desired area.
• They have no seams or gaps between them. You can create a smooth and seamless surface without any connectors or edging.
• You can cover large areas or runs quickly and easily.
• They can usually be rolled up for cleaning or storage.

Some of the disadvantages of rubber mat rolls are:

• They are more difficult to install and remove. You might need professional help or special tools to cut and lay them on the floor.
• They may be more difficult to handle and store. Long rolls can be heavy, so you might need a lot of space and equipment to roll them up or store them when not in use.
• They are difficult to replace and repair. You might need to replace or repair the whole roll if it gets damaged or worn out.
• They have a plain and simple appearance. You might not find a rubber mat roll that has the colour, pattern, or finish that you want.
