Perfect for high-traffic commercial kitchens where staff stand for hours or outdoor playground spaces needing fall protection, these versatile tiles pair brilliantly with other safety equipment for comprehensive protection. After 50 years in the business, we've seen how proper rubber flooring doesn't just prevent accidents—it dramatically improves operational efficiency and reduces liability!

How Commercial Rubber Paving Tiles & Matting Work

The magic of rubber paving tiles lies in their clever composition—typically made from recycled or virgin rubber combined with binding agents that create a balance of firmness and flexibility. The surface texture provides crucial slip resistance even when wet, while the density of the material (usually 900-1200kg/m³) absorbs impact energy, protecting both people and surfaces underneath. Most installations use interlocking edges or connecting pins that create seamless joins, preventing tripping hazards while allowing for thermal expansion. This system also makes individual tile replacement a doddle if damage occurs—simply pop out the affected tile without disturbing the entire floor!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Rubber Paving Tiles & Matting

To maximise your rubber flooring investment, ensure the substrate is properly prepared—level, clean and dry before installation. For outdoor areas, consider a slight gradient (1-2%) for water run-off, and use a commercial pressure washer for periodic deep cleaning. In high-UV areas, apply a UV protectant spray annually to prevent premature aging. For kitchens, pair with proper drainage systems to handle spillage, and use manufacturer-approved cleaning agents to avoid damaging the rubber's integrity over time.
