The B&Q Coin Rubber Flooring Matting excels in environments where durability, safety, and floor protection are paramount. Its heavy-duty natural rubber construction makes it ideal for areas exposed to tools, machinery, vehicle traffic, and potential spills.
Workshops: Place under workbenches or in high-traffic areas to reduce fatigue, provide anti-slip benefits, and protect the underlying floor from dropped tools or chemical spills.
Garages: Use to cover concrete floors, preventing damage from hot tires, oil leaks, and providing a more comfortable surface for working on vehicles.
Sheds: Line shed floors to protect stored items from dampness, provide a clean surface, and enhance stability for walking.
Vans: Install in cargo areas to prevent items from shifting during transit and protect the vehicle's floor from scratches and impacts.
The coin pattern is particularly effective in wet or greasy conditions, channeling liquids and maximizing grip. Its robust nature means it can handle significant wear and tear, maintaining its integrity and protective qualities over time. This matting is designed to transform hazardous or easily damaged floors into safe, stable, and protected surfaces.
Preparation: Ensure the area where the matting will be laid is clean, dry, and free of debris. For best results, sweep or vacuum thoroughly.
Unroll: Carefully unroll the matting into position. It may be heavy, so consider having assistance. Allow it to relax for a few hours, or even a day, to flatten out any curls from packaging.
Trimming (Optional): If precise fitting is required, use a sharp utility knife with a new blade and a straight edge to trim the matting. Always cut on a scrap piece of wood or a cutting mat to protect your underlying surface and ensure a clean cut. Multiple shallow passes are safer and more effective than one deep cut.
Placement: Once trimmed and flattened, position the matting as desired. For permanent installations or large areas, consider using a suitable adhesive (e.g., rubber-compatible floor adhesive) to prevent shifting, especially in high-traffic zones.
This rubber matting is highly versatile and compatible with most hard, level floor surfaces, including concrete, wood, and existing linoleum or tile. It is suitable for indoor use in workshops, garages, and sheds, and for interior lining of commercial vehicles like vans. Ensure the underlying surface is stable and free of sharp protrusions to prevent damage to the matting.
Regular Cleaning: For general maintenance, sweep or vacuum the matting to remove dirt and debris.
Deep Cleaning: For spills or heavier soiling, wash the matting with warm water and a mild detergent. A stiff brush can be used for stubborn areas, especially in the coin pattern grooves.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
Drying: Allow the matting to air dry completely before heavy use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the rubber over time.
