It will come as no surprise therefore that you will see rubber roll matting frequently used in a multitude of industries.
The main benefits associated with this matting include the following:

Slips are a real hazard in many workplaces, particularly in wet areas, or where oil and grease may be an issue. Rubber mats can provide that added bit of safety underfoot which can help prevent an accident or injury.
- Provides Warmth
Workers who have to stand or walk around on cold, hard floors throughout the day will experience a chill underfoot in colder weather, which can make working long hours a great discomfort. Rubber matting placed in these areas adds a layer of thermal insulation which can help improve worker productivity and morale.

Rubber mats provide cushioning underfoot which can help reduce fatigue amongst those who would otherwise have to stand or work on hard floors. This can help to reduce injuries amongst staff and reduce absenteeism as a consequence.

Rubber roll matting is not only versatile and durable but also offers several other benefits that make it an excellent choice for various applications. One of the key advantages of rubber roll matting is its ability to provide a safe and secure footing in environments where slips and falls are a concern. This is particularly important in workplaces where wet conditions, oil, or grease are present. The high-traction surface of rubber matting helps to prevent accidents by providing a stable and slip-resistant surface.
In addition to safety, rubber roll matting also contributes to the comfort and well-being of workers. Standing or walking on cold, hard floors for extended periods can be uncomfortable and even painful. Rubber matting adds a layer of thermal insulation, helping to keep feet warm and reducing the discomfort associated with cold floors. This can be especially beneficial in unheated warehouses, outdoor work areas, or any environment where cold floors are an issue.
Another significant benefit of rubber roll matting is its anti-fatigue properties. Workers who spend long hours standing on hard surfaces can experience fatigue and discomfort, which can lead to decreased productivity and increased absenteeism. Rubber mats provide cushioning underfoot, reducing the strain on muscles and joints and helping to alleviate fatigue. This can result in a more comfortable and productive work environment, with fewer injuries and less time off due to discomfort or fatigue.
Rubber roll matting is also highly practical for covering large areas quickly and easily. Available in various widths, these mats can be cut to the desired length, making them more versatile than fixed-size mats. This flexibility is particularly useful in industrial settings, where mats need to cover long production lines or corridors. The ease of installation and customization makes rubber roll matting an efficient solution for protecting floors and providing a safe, comfortable surface for workers.
In high-traffic areas, floors can become damaged over time due to constant wear and tear. Rubber roll matting provides an additional layer of protection, helping to preserve the underlying floor and extend its lifespan. This can be particularly important in areas such as entrances, hallways, and production lines, where the floor is subject to heavy use. By using rubber matting, businesses can reduce maintenance costs and keep their floors in better condition for longer.
Noise reduction is another important benefit of rubber roll matting. In environments where noise can be a distraction or a nuisance, such as offices, gyms, or residential buildings, rubber matting helps to absorb sound and create a quieter, more comfortable space. The sound-dampening properties of rubber make it an excellent choice for reducing noise levels and improving the overall acoustics of a room.
Rubber roll matting can be used in a wide range of applications, from industrial locations to food production areas, walkways, and corridors. In factories and warehouses, rubber matting is commonly used along production lines and in picking and packing areas to provide comfort and safety for employees. In food production areas, such as kitchens, rubber matting helps to maintain a safe and hygienic workspace by providing a non-slip surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
For walkways and corridors, rubber roll matting offers floor protection, traction, noise reduction, and warmth underfoot. This makes it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor use, providing a durable and practical solution for a variety of environments.
