Commercial Floor Mats, Rubber Flooring & Floor Protection

Commercial Mats and Flooring for Different Environments

The On1shelf mats and flooring range covers workplace matting, floor protection, entrance dirt control, standing comfort, cable routing and specialist wet-area applications. Products range from individual floor mats and modular tiles to full rubber matting rolls and PVC flooring rolls.

Choose according to the location and the problem that needs solving. A mat intended to collect water and dirt at an entrance is not interchangeable with industrial flooring, kitchen drainage matting or a cable protector designed for pedestrian or vehicle traffic.

Choose the Right Type of Flooring or Matting

Rubber Flooring and Matting Rolls

Industrial rubber flooring provides continuous coverage for compatible workshops, garages, vans, storage areas and commercial floors. The range includes different widths, thicknesses and surface patterns.

Compare the full roll dimensions, rubber specification, surface finish and installation requirements. Check whether the flooring can be loose laid or requires an approved adhesive or fixing method.

PVC Flooring Rolls

PVC flooring rolls offer an alternative to rubber for compatible garages, utility rooms, storage areas and workshops. Available patterns and thicknesses should be compared according to the installation area and anticipated use.

Do not assume that every PVC roll is suitable for outdoor installation, chemical contact or vehicle traffic. These requirements must be confirmed from the individual product specification.

Entrance Mats and Dirt-Control Matting

The entrance mat range includes rubber scraper mats, absorbent barrier mats, drainage mats, coir designs and commercial dirt-control options.

Consider whether the mat will be positioned indoors, outdoors or inside a recessed mat well. Measure the available space and check the backing, edge profile, water capacity and recommended cleaning method.

Anti-Fatigue and Workplace Mats

Anti-fatigue mats are intended for selected standing workstations, while the broader industrial workplace matting range includes modular, drainage, ESD and specialist surface options.

Choose according to the standing task, surrounding floor, footwear, pedestrian traffic and contaminants present. Products used around oil, grease, swarf or chemicals require documented suitability for those conditions.

Commercial Kitchen and Wet-Area Matting

Commercial kitchen mats include selected grease-resistant, drainage and standing-comfort products for kitchens, bars and food-preparation areas. For changing rooms, poolside areas and other barefoot environments, compare the separate range of wet-area matting and roll-out duckboards.

Open-grid construction allows liquids and loose material to pass through the mat, but it does not make the underlying floor self-cleaning. Both the matting and the supporting floor require regular inspection and cleaning.

Floor Cable Protectors and Cable Covers

Floor cable protectors help route compatible cables across exposed floor areas. Options include low-profile PVC covers, rubber protectors and heavier cable-ramp systems.

Measure the cable bundle and compare it with the protector’s usable internal channel. Pedestrian covers and vehicle-rated ramps are different product classes, so any required traffic or load rating must be verified before ordering.

Stair Treads and Anti-Slip Floor Products

Rubber stair treads provide step-specific coverage, while the anti-slip flooring and floor-safety range includes safety tape, GRP stair covers, stair nosings, flat sheets, decking strips and related products.

Check the complete tread dimensions, edge profile, substrate and required fixing method. Where slip-resistance data is published, compare the named test method and conditions rather than relying only on general terms such as “anti-slip” or “non-slip”.

Gym, Outdoor and Vehicle Products

Gym and shock-absorption mats can provide targeted floor protection beneath compatible fitness equipment and activity areas. Check the material, thickness, equipment load and installation area.

For landscaped and pedestrian outdoor areas, see the outdoor safety and erosion-protection range. For stationary vehicles and trailers, use appropriately sized rubber wheel chocks rather than general-purpose floor matting.

What to Check Before Ordering

• Application: Identify whether the product is needed for an entrance, workstation, kitchen, wet area, gym, stairway or cable route.
• Dimensions: Measure the complete installation area, including edges, joins, corners and obstructions.
• Material: Compare rubber, nitrile rubber, PVC, foam and GRP according to the intended environment.
• Contaminants: Identify any water, oil, grease, chemicals, mud, swarf or cleaning products that may contact the surface.
• Traffic: Distinguish pedestrian use from trolleys, machinery and vehicle traffic.
• Installation: Check whether the product can be loose laid or requires adhesive, connectors or mechanical fixings.
• Maintenance: Confirm how both the product and the floor beneath it should be cleaned and inspected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best mat for a commercial entrance?

Choose from the commercial entrance mat range according to whether the mat must scrape dirt, absorb moisture, allow drainage or combine more than one function.

What is the difference between an anti-fatigue mat and a kitchen mat?

Anti-fatigue mats focus on standing comfort for compatible workstations. Commercial kitchen mats may also require drainage and documented resistance to grease, oils or cleaning products.

Should I choose rubber or PVC flooring?

The correct material depends on the location, traffic, contaminants, installation method and required surface. Compare the specifications in the rubber flooring and PVC flooring departments rather than choosing by appearance alone.

How do I select a floor cable protector?

Measure the number and diameter of the cables, then compare them with the usable channel inside the cable protector. Also check the floor surface, traffic type and any published load rating.

Can a floor mat prevent every slip?

No. Floor condition, contaminants, footwear, drainage, lighting, installation and cleaning all affect slip risk. Use suitable products together with regular inspection, cleaning and appropriate workplace controls.
