FAQs

Is this matting suitable for outdoor use?

While highly durable, this matting is best suited for indoor environments like workshops, garages, and sheds, or covered outdoor areas where it is protected from prolonged direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions. Direct, continuous exposure to harsh elements may reduce its lifespan.

Can I cut this matting to fit a specific shape or area?

Yes, the matting can be custom-cut to fit your exact dimensions. We recommend using a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty shears. For best results, measure carefully and use a straight edge as a guide, scoring the material multiple times until cut through.

What is the thickness of this matting?

This specific Coin Rubber Flooring Matting has a thickness of 3mm.

Is the matting truly urine-proof for pet areas or animal enclosures?

Yes, due to its non-porous and non-absorbent natural rubber construction, this matting is urine-proof. Liquids will not soak through, making cleanup easy and preventing odors from permeating the material. It's also allergy-friendly.

How do I get rid of the initial rubber smell?

The initial scent is characteristic of natural rubber products. To help it dissipate quickly, ensure the area where the mat is installed is well-ventilated by opening windows or doors. The smell typically fades significantly within a few days to a week.

Can heavy machinery or vehicles be parked on it without damage?

Yes, this matting is designed to be tough and long-lasting, making it suitable for workshops, garages, and vans. It can handle heavy tools, machinery, and regular vehicle parking, providing a protective and resilient surface.

Will the matting protect against cold from concrete floors?

Absolutely. The natural rubber material provides effective insulation against cold concrete floors, making the area more comfortable to stand or work on, especially during colder months.

Troubleshooting

Matting won't lie completely flat after unrolling.

Allow more time for the matting to acclimate to the room temperature, especially in warmer conditions. Placing heavy, flat objects (like plywood or books) along the edges overnight can help flatten stubborn curls.

Persistent rubber smell in the area.

The initial rubber scent is normal for natural rubber products. Ensure adequate ventilation in the installation area by opening windows or doors. The smell typically dissipates significantly within a few days to a week. Cleaning the mat with a mild soap solution and airing it out can also help.

Matting slides or shifts on the floor.

Ensure the subfloor is perfectly clean and dry before placement. For better stability, consider using a non-slip underlayment designed for floor mats, or, for a more permanent solution, use a suitable rubber-compatible adhesive.

Stains or marks are difficult to remove.

For tough stains like oil or grease, try a diluted degreaser specifically designed for rubber or garage floors. Always test any new cleaning product in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using abrasive brushes or scrubbers, which can damage the surface.

Edges of the matting are curling up over time.

This can happen if the mat was not fully acclimated or due to traffic patterns. Re-flatten by applying weight to the edges. For a long-term fix, consider securing the edges with a rubber-compatible adhesive or trimming them if they are in an awkward position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Unroll and Acclimate: Carefully unroll the matting in the desired area. Allow it to lay flat for 24-48 hours. This helps the material relax and flatten out any curls or ripples from packaging.
  2. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the subfloor is thoroughly clean, dry, and free of any debris, dust, or grease. A clean base will prevent slipping and allow the mat to lay flatter.
  3. Trimming (if needed): For a custom fit, measure your space accurately. Use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty shears. For straight cuts, score the matting multiple times along a sturdy straight edge. For complex shapes, create a template first.
  4. Placement: Position the matting as desired. For larger installations or permanent placement, consider using a rubber-compatible adhesive (such as a contact adhesive or specific floor adhesive) for secure bonding. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility

This matting is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of surfaces and environments:

  • Surfaces: Suitable for concrete, wood, metal, and existing tile floors.
  • Environments: Ideal for indoor use in workshops, garages, and sheds. Also excellent for vehicle interiors like vans and trailers. Can be used in covered outdoor areas where protection from direct, prolonged harsh weather is available.
  • Usage: Designed for high-traffic areas, heavy tools, machinery, and vehicle parking.

Care and Maintenance

  • Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum the matting regularly to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills, wipe immediately with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid letting liquids sit on the surface for extended periods.
  • Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, use a non-abrasive floor cleaner or mild soap and warm water. Rinse the matting thoroughly with clean water. Allow it to air dry completely before returning items or vehicles to the surface.
  • Disinfection: The non-porous surface can be easily disinfected using standard rubber-safe cleaning agents. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or solvent-based cleaners, as these can degrade the natural rubber over time.
  • Storage: If you need to store the matting, roll it tightly (coin pattern facing out) and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
