Rubber Mats as Flooring – Robust, Versatile and Cut to Size
Rubber flooring is often used where conventional floor surfaces are subject to greater wear and stress. Rubber mats can protect the underlying surface from abrasion, moisture, dirt, pressure marks or mechanical loads. At the same time, they create a durable usable surface that, depending on the surface structure, can also provide more grip and safety.
Typical applications for rubber mats as flooring include garages, workshops, storage areas, work areas, fitness rooms, basements, utility rooms, entrance areas and technical rooms. Suitable rubber mats can also be used in certain outdoor areas if the material and surface are appropriate for the application.
Which Rubber Mat Is Suitable for Which Floor?
Not every rubber mat is equally suitable for every floor. The intended use, load, desired surface and environment are decisive. Different mats are suitable for slip-resistant walkways than for fitness equipment, machinery, garage floors or outdoor areas.
Studded Mats for Garages, Workshops and Robust Floor Areas
Studded mats are a good choice when a structured and slip-resistant rubber surface is required. The studded surface provides better grip and is particularly suitable for garages, workshops, storage areas, work areas or heavily used walkways. A studded mat can also be useful as a rubber floor mat in private areas, for example as a protective underlay beneath bicycles, equipment or in areas that are regularly exposed to greater loads.
Fine-Ribbed Mats as Easy-Care Rubber Flooring
Fine-ribbed mats have a ribbed surface and are often used as a universal rubber floor covering. They are suitable for workshops, garages, storage areas, car boots, workbenches, shelving or walkways. The fine ribbed structure makes the surface grippy while remaining easy to clean.
If you are looking for a simple, functional rubber floor, fine-ribbed mats are a suitable solution for many standard applications.
Anti-Slip Mats for More Grip and Safety
Anti-slip mats are suitable for areas where slip resistance is particularly important. They are often used in workshops, garages, warehouses, on ramps, at workstations or underneath machinery. An anti-slip mat can also be useful as a protective mat on smooth surfaces.
For floor areas subject to increased loads or frequent movement, a slip-resistant rubber mat is often the better choice than a smooth standard mat.
Construction Protection Mats and Rubber Granulate for Cushioning and Floor Protection
Construction protection mats made from rubber granulate are particularly suitable where cushioning, protection and load-bearing capacity are important. They can be used as an underlay for fitness equipment, household appliances, speakers, machinery or other heavy objects.
Suitable construction protection mats can also be used outdoors, on terraces, balconies, flat roofs or underneath technical equipment as a protective or separating layer. For fitness rooms and home gyms, they are especially useful where equipment, vibrations or point loads could affect the existing floor.
