Rubber Backed Mats – Durable, Safe & Stylish Floor Protection
What Are Rubber Backed Mats?
Rubber backed mats are versatile and highly durable floor coverings designed for both commercial and residential environments. These mats feature a surface layer made from materials such as carpet, coir, or synthetic fibres, bonded to a strong rubber backing that ensures grip and stability on various floor types.
Whether you need reliable entrance mats, anti-slip solutions for high-traffic areas, or stylish indoor runners, rubber backed mats offer the perfect combination of safety, functionality, and appearance.


Benefits of Using Rubber Backed Mats
o Enhanced Floor Safety
- Rubber backing prevents mats from sliding on tile, wood, or vinyl floors, reducing accident risks in busy walkways, entrances, or wet areas.
o Protects Flooring
- Mats reduce scratches, wear, and stains on floor surfaces caused by shoes, trolleys, and spills.
o Cost-Effective Maintenance
- Minimise the need for frequent floor cleaning or resurfacing with protective matting.
o Improved Cleanliness
- Textile or bristle surfaces trap dust, debris, and moisture — reducing dirt tracked into homes or businesses.
o Professional Appearance
- Branded or stylish rubber backed mats enhance the aesthetic of your space while reinforcing professionalism.
