Rubber Mats: Large & Thick, Indoor & Outdoor Home & Gym Mat

Deploying ours in standing work environments in manufacturing facilities is a smart idea. They are a great choice for anyone who must frequently stand on a hard surface. Please explore our huge variety of fatigue tilings to choose the best options for the area. When used as a runner, they are popular because of custom sizes, delivering economical benefits with safety and comfort. They make it an especially pleasant environment for workers.

Included in the anti-fatigue line are rubber anti-fatigue mats with diamond plate surface textures such as our 2x3 Cushion Comfort Mats.

Rubber Gym Flooring Rolls

It's important to remember that rolled rubber flooring will be quite hefty and will require multiple people to help with the install. But it does cover a lot of space quickly which is why this type of rubber mat is a best seller.

Each roll is 4’ wide and available in lengths up to 50’.

Those with a 1/2 inch or greater thickness option usually measure as a multipurpose 4x6 workout mat or stall mat. We have rubber products in large sizes with straight edges that allow them to be installed against walls or adjacent to others. It connects easily together for a beautiful surface.

Interlocking Rubber Mat

These DIY selections are most often found in a smaller 1x1, 2x2, or 3x3 foot size with interlocking edges to fasten them together. A system utilizing rubber tiles is ideal for tight spaces, since they are easier to maneuver and less product will be wasted.

Thick Rubber Flooring Mat

The thickness of a rubber mat will directly relate to its ability to absorb shock … and to protect the subfloor in the process. It offers extra protection and shock absorption versus thinner designs. Thick commercial-grade rubber mats outdoor are often used for in horse stalls, on patios, in the foot area of a vehicle, and underneath playground gear.

But they can be found indoors too to protect subfloors in weightlifting areas or beneath heavier workout equipment, as 1 inch large rubber mats for gym are great for heavy weight support. A shock absorbent sound reducing rubber mat for a weight room is available with proven results against dropped weights.

Rooftop patios should have 2 inch slip-resistant outdoor rubber mats for car or deck to ensure there is enough weight to keep them in place during strong winds.

Playgrounds should have a 2”-plus outdoor rubber mat to provide optimum fall protection. Keep in mind that vulcanized rubber matting will not require the same amount of thickness as non-vulcanized in order to yield the same durability, but it will have a stronger new smell.

Athletic Mattings

This has extreme durability, and its strength makes it a popular choice for athletic applications. Quite a few of our high quality gym floor mats are 4x6 feet in size and range from 1/4'' to 1” thick. These are useful for athletic high traffic areas, as well as for any space that will see significant impacts, like weightlifting rooms.

It is strong, so it offers excellent subfloor protections. Many opt to install them as garage flooring for home gyms where free weights may be dropped. Customers also may set them underneath hefty equipment to offer additional protections to the home gym flooring. Because it is dense, it won't be indented by this significant weight.

If looking for durability with more cushion, consider our plyometric units, which still have plenty of protections for the subfloor, but its composition is a bit less dense than what is found in traditional rubberized products. As a result, they have a little bit of give to them, making them comfortable.

Industrial and Fatigue Rubber Kitchen Mats

An industrial rubber mat roll or section can improve comfort and relieve tired legs for anyone who needs to spend long hours on their feet.

Industrial environments can have harsh elements, such as grease and oil, but many of ours are made to withstand those very elements that would damage cheaper models. Ours is resistant to grease and are designed to prevent slipping to improve safeness for employees. Others are designed to withstand welding sparks or to control static electricity for an electrically sensitive environment.

To cover wet environments, such as in kitchens or even a laundry room, perforations will keep employees' feet dry and out of the water. They let liquids run right through them, so the top stays dry. Some have designs that help to further maximize traction, like grit incorporated into the mat's top layer.

Look for a bright yellow edging to increase safety and visibility. Others have a beveled edge for easy accessibility with cart traffic. In addition to smaller individual units, some runners measure as long as 60’ to quickly cover the cement base in a warehouse.

Rooftop Matting

Rooftop floor protection is able to be placed directly over the rubbery membrane of a commercial roof or outdoors patio. It delivers slip resistance in all kinds of weather. It may even offer a fall height rating that makes for a safer surface.These are extremely resilient, even if exposed to the harshest weather conditions. They won't split or crack in the extreme cold, and they're weighty enough so that windy weather won't lift them.

Playground Mattings

Non slip exercise mat for playgrounds is often glued down, which gives the outside installation permanency. Ours help to maximize the safety of children at play. They are sold with fall ratings ranging from 6’ to 10’, so they're suitable for use with a variety of equipment.

Many of our rubber playground mats come in the form of interlocking tiles as the interlock system keeps the mats tightly held together for safety.

Entrance Mattings

Anti fatigue gym mat flooring also works in entryways. It is highly durable and is designed to offer great traction, even when it’s wet, while also preventing sand, dirt, and debris from being tracked into a building. It can minimize daily cleanup efforts, and it is available in many designs and colors to suit the building's decor.

If you're looking for a scraper door mat, Greatmats also offers rubber options for that, such as the Ridge Scraper Mat. These rubber door mats are great for enhancing traction for safety.

2. Place a 2x4 board under the rubber floor mat.
3. Set up a guide along the line.
4. Score along the straight edge guide with a sharp utility knife, allowing gravity to pull open the cutting over the 2x4.

Rubber Mats for Horses

FAQ Rubber Mat Q&A

What are the best rubber floor mats?

For covering a larger space, multiple rubber mat pieces are the smartest option. Or consider a thinner roll of 3/8 inch or less for ease of movement.

Is a rubber mat worth it?

Large sections deliver very few seams at a lower price per square foot, ideal both for commercial and residential spaces. These are particularly beneficial for high traffic spaces like stair treads, since the rubbery material is firmer and more durable than plastic or foam cushioned products. When used at work, they can transform hard concrete subfloors into a softer, safer spot, reducing tripping hazards.

What is the best way to cut rubber gym mats?

They can be easily cut to fit tight to the edges or around obstacles. Lay out a ruler or guide and score the rubberized materials, including EPDM tiles, with a knife. Set a 2x4 piece of wood under the area to be sliced open, and gravity will allow the cutting to pull apart, simplifying the process.

How do you attach rubber mat tiling in a stall?

The heavy duty stall mats with holes, which come in both straight edging and interlocking modular tiles, do not require a glue down installation. Most can be connected via connector clips, so they are easy to clean and easy to install, making them suitable as a DIY project. In certain conditions, they’re heavy enough for animal stalls that no attachment is needed.

Are rubber floor tiles toxic?

No. They do have an odd odor, similar to a new car smell, that some people find off-putting, but it dissipates over time. There have been no studies that have discovered a link between using recycled tires and other types or rubberized components in floorings and toxicity exposure in humans, children, or animals.
