This agent is easily removed with a mild detergent and will wear off naturally through short-term use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStable Size Requirement Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse the following table to calculate how many 6ft x 4ft mats are required for your specific stable dimensions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol width=\"89\"\u003e\n\u003ccol width=\"117\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStable Size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMats Required\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10' x 8'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10' x 9'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12' x 8'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9' x 13'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10' x 10'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12' x 10'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12' x 11'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12' x 12'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14' x 10'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14' x 12'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e16' x 12'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14' x 14'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e17' x 12'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e17' x 13'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy choose EVA instead of solid rubber?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEVA foam is significantly lighter and provides superior cushioning for horse joints.

This is a standard manufacturing compound used to prevent the rubber from sticking together during production and transit. To remove it quickly, simply scrub the mat with a household detergent or washing-up liquid and warm water, then rinse it down. If left alone, this agent will naturally wear off on its own within a short period of regular foot traffic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan these rubber mats be used outdoors on a patio or walkway?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes, these heavy-duty safety mats are fully designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The natural rubber material is highly resilient against changing British weather conditions, frost, and direct sunlight. Because the mats feature built-in holes, rain and surface water drain through immediately. This leaves a slip-resistant surface that stays secure and safe even during heavy downpours, making them excellent for patios, external walkways, and entrance areas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhich mat size is best for a single commercial workstation?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor an isolated workspace, such as a packing desk, retail till, or single bar station, we recommend using a mat with bevelled edges. The 1.5m x 0.9m (12mm thick) or the 1.2m x 0.9m (16mm thick) options are ideal. The integrally moulded bevelled safety edges slope gently down to the floor, allowing staff to step on and off safely without catching their boots, while also allowing small wheeled trolleys to roll over them easily.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow do I cover a long, narrow run behind a bar or workshop bench?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo cover a long, continuous walkway, you should choose our straight-edged mat options. The 1.2m x 0.8m or 1m x 0.5m sizes (available in heavy-duty 16mm and 22mm thicknesses) feature straight sides. This design allows you to butt the mats tightly up against each other end-to-end. They form a stable, continuous run of anti-fatigue flooring without creating gaps or unlevel seams behind your bar counter or assembly bench.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAre these safety mats suitable for use around animals or stables?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes, these natural rubber mats are completely safe for use around pets, livestock, and horses. The high-quality rubber formulation is entirely non-porous, non-absorbent, and urine-proof. It does not retain moisture, animal waste, or foul odours. Additionally, because the material does not create or trap dust, spores, or common allergens, it provides a clean, hygienic, and highly cushioned surface that is healthy for both humans and animals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is the advantage of the interlocking mat option?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 0.9m x 0.9m (12mm thick) interlocking mat version is designed for modular flexibility. If your workspace has an irregular shape, a non-standard width, or requires a temporary flooring setup, the interlocking edges allow you to snap multiple mats together like puzzle pieces. This lets you create custom-sized floor protection that stays locked together firmly during use but can be taken apart easily for deep cleaning or relocation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow do anti-fatigue mats reduce muscle strain and injuries?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStanding on hard floors constricts blood flow and causes muscles to overwork to keep the body balanced. Natural rubber anti-fatigue mats provide subtle, microscopic flexibility under pressure. This causes the calf and leg muscles to expand and contract gently as you adjust your weight. This movement promotes healthy blood circulation, reduces spinal compression, and significantly lowers joint fatigue, keeping workers comfortable and productive throughout the day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan these mats prevent items from breaking if dropped?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes, the natural elasticity of 12mm, 16mm, and 22mm natural rubber provides a highly effective impact-cushioning barrier. If delicate items like glassware, bottles, or precision hand tools slip out of a worker's hands, dropping onto a rubber safety mat significantly limits breakages compared to striking bare concrete or ceramic tiling. This makes them a smart investment to cut down on breakages for busy pubs, restaurant bars, and industrial engineering workshops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAre these mats easy to clean and sanitize daily?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCleaning these mats is straightforward because natural rubber resists chemical penetration from mild disinfectants and standard detergents. For daily maintenance in kitchens or workshops, you can roll the mats up to sweep underneath, or wash them down directly using a hose or a pressure washer. Their non-absorbent, non-porous structural design means they dry quickly and will not swell, rot, split, or lift at the corners after washing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo you offer free delivery across all parts of the United Kingdom?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe provide standard free delivery to all addresses across England, Wales, and the vast majority of mainland Scotland.
