Description
Broad ribbed rubber matting for horsebox floors, kennels and benches
If you need a hard-wearing covering for a horsebox, trailer, kennel run or workshop bench, this is the straightforward choice: black rubber matting with a broad ribbed face, supplied in the width and length you order. It comes in 3mm and 6mm, in widths of 0.9m, 1.2m and 2m, and in lengths from 1m to 10m, so you can order close to the size of the area and keep waste down.
Horsebox owners, transport firms, kennel operators and workshops choose this profile because it is simple to lay, quick to clean and easy to trim around wheel arches, partitions and bench legs. Choose your thickness, width and length above and the price updates to match.
Why a ribbed rubber surface works
The face of the sheet carries a regular pattern of closely spaced flat ribs running along the length of the roll. Those ribs give hooves, paws, boots and stored items something to bite against, and the grooves between them give water and dirt somewhere to go, so the surface stays usable when it gets wet. The matting is sold as non-slip in wet conditions, although no formal slip rating is published for this line, so treat it as a practical grip surface and not as a certified safety floor.
The compound is a blend of SBR and natural rubber at around 70 Shore A. That is firm enough to hold its shape under foot traffic and flexible enough to follow a floor that is not perfectly flat. Rubber is also kinder underfoot than a bare metal or timber deck. The reverse has a cloth-impression finish. The listed working range is -30°C to +70°C, so an unheated trailer or outbuilding will not trouble it.
- Broad ribbed face with a cloth-impression reverse
- 3mm or 6mm thick, in 0.9m, 1.2m or 2m widths, from 1m to 10m long
- Easily cut to size and shape on site
- Low maintenance and simple to wash down
Where it is used
Typical jobs include horsebox and trailer floors, kennel runs, workbench tops, workshop walkways and vehicle load areas. It suits anywhere you want a firm rubber surface with some grip that can be taken up and cleaned. On a loading ramp, fix it down securely along every edge so it cannot creep under hooves or wheels.

Choosing the right size
For most horsebox and trailer floors, 6mm is the better choice because it gives a more substantial layer under hooves and heavy loads. The 3mm sheet suits bench tops, shelf linings and light walkways, where you want grip and protection without the extra weight.
The 6mm thickness comes in 1.2m and 2m widths only, while 0.9m is available in 3mm. If your floor is wider than one sheet, lay two lengths side by side with the ribs running the same way, and trim the outer edges to fit. Measure the longest run of the area and allow a little extra for trimming. It is also worth comparing a 9m and a 10m length, because the full 10m is priced lower than the 9m in every width.
Installation, use and care
Sweep the floor clean and make sure it is dry. Unroll the matting and let it relax flat before you cut it. Trim with a sharp knife against a straight edge, using several light passes. In vehicles, secure the edges with trim or a suitable adhesive so the sheet cannot move. Wash down with water and a mild detergent, and lift it from time to time so the floor beneath can dry. The largest 6mm rolls weigh around 180kg, so plan for lifting equipment or several people.
Frequently asked questions
Is this matting suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The compound has a listed working range of -30°C to +70°C, so it copes with outdoor temperatures. Lay it on a firm, drained base so water does not sit beneath it, and fix the edges where wind or traffic could lift them.
Can this matting be cut to size?
Yes. You order the length you need, and any further trimming is easy to do on site with a sharp knife and a straight edge. Several light passes give a cleaner edge than one heavy cut, particularly on the 6mm sheet.
Which way do the ribs run?
The ribs run along the length of the roll. If you would rather have them running across a floor or ramp, order a width that covers the run of the ribs and lay the cut lengths side by side across the area.
Can I get 6mm in a 0.9m width?
Not as a listed size. The 6mm sheet comes in 1.2m and 2m widths, so the simplest route is to order 1.2m and trim it down to 0.9m on site with a sharp knife and a straight edge.
What is the warranty on this product?
