Factory Flooring

Rubber rolls suit brewery walkways, platforms, packing and storage areas, where they add grip and protect the floor. Brewhouse floors that are hosed down with hot water and cleaning chemicals every day are usually sealed resin with built-in drainage. Rubber can then go on top at standing positions and walkways.

No, the rubber rolls in this collection are not stated as food grade, so they are not intended for direct contact with food. They can still be used as walkway and standing surfaces in food factories, away from open food. For rubber that touches food, look for food grade rubber sheeting with that stated on the listing.

A cushioned anti-fatigue mat at each standing position helps staff who stand for long shifts. The 3ft x 5ft x 12mm mat in this collection suits a single workstation. More shapes, sizes and thicknesses for standing work are in anti-fatigue mats.

Choose a smooth top for dry, clean areas where easy sweeping matters, and a coin, willow or fine ribbed top where the floor gets dusty or occasionally wet. Low-profile patterns such as willow and fine ribbed are comfortable to walk on and easy for trolleys to cross.

Yes, a rubber roll can run under a conveyor to protect the floor from dropped parts and make sweeping easier. Under heavy or vibrating machines, a thicker solid mat or anti-vibration mat is better, because a thin roll will not absorb much vibration. Leave access to machine feet and fixings.

Interlocking rubber tiles for factory floors, including 90cm x 90cm x 14mm tiles with edge strips, are in the industrial flooring collection. Tiles suit work zones where sections need to be lifted for cleaning or access. Rolls are better for long walkways, where fewer joins matter more.

The rolls in this collection come in 1m, 1.2m, 1.8m and 2m widths, depending on the pattern. Choosing a width close to your walkway means fewer cuts and less waste. Each listing shows the width and length options for that roll.

Yes, rubber flooring that is fixed down can be cleaned with a scrubber dryer using a soft brush or pad and a neutral cleaner. Loose rolls and mats may move under the machine, so fix them or clean them by hand. Avoid harsh solvents, which can dull or soften rubber.

Rubber softens the noise of footsteps, dropped parts and trolley wheels on concrete. It will not reduce the noise of machinery running, which travels through the air. Under machines, a thick rubber or anti-vibration mat reduces the rumble passed into the floor.

Yes, rubber rolls make good temporary protection for a floor during building or refit work. They take dropped tools and rolling equipment, and can be lifted and reused once the work is done. Tape the joins so dust and debris do not get underneath.
