Rubber flooring: types, sizes and uses
Rubber flooring is a rubber floor covering laid over the existing floor to cover work, walkway and loading surfaces. All our models are made of black SBR rubber and, depending on the pattern, provide slip resistance, vibration damping, sound insulation, drainage or relief for people who work standing up.
Types of rubber flooring by pattern
The surface pattern determines the use. These are the seven models in the range:
| Flooring | Width (mm) | Thickness (mm) | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circle pattern | 1000 · 1250 · 1500 | 3 | Covering many types of surfaces |
| Pyramid pattern | 1000 | 3 | Non-slip covering of surfaces |
| Triangular pattern | 1250 | 3 | Goods handling, with textile insert |
| Rectangular pattern | 1400 | 2.5 | Goods handling, with textile insert |
| Square pattern | 1000 | 8 | Stables and livestock transport lorries |
| Spike | 1400 | 16 | High-traffic entrances, cleans shoe soles |
| Honeycomb | 914 · 1500 | 19 · 22 | Workstations (anti-fatigue) and wet areas (open) |
How to choose rubber flooring
To cover surfaces with a thin layer, the circle and pyramid patterns are the most versatile option. Where loads are moved and there is vibration or noise, the triangular and rectangular patterns have a textile insert, resist wear and absorb shocks. In wet areas, open honeycomb flooring drains the water away; at workstations where people stand, anti-fatigue honeycomb flooring reduces tiredness. Circle pattern flooring can be ordered in other colours.
