rubberised flooring

Jan 19, 2005 10 Replies

I am looking to source some rubberised flooring suitable for a bathroom. The stuff that i have in mind has a 'dimple' in it about every 3 inches on centre. I have spotted some like this in a few places but it seems to be very expensive. Does anyone have any idea of where i could get some at a reasonable cost? Oh, it has to be cream-ish in colour!



Thanks Gerry

sounds like Altro safety flooring, not cheap though, they are based in Welwyn Garden City, Herts

I came very close to putting a lot of this in last year in a shower room and even though it was not in the shower cubicle the manufacturers would not recommend it as it became very slippery when walked on if it got wet. Sort of defeats the object if you ask me!

That is an industrial flooring and there is no such thing as industrial flooring at reasonable cost, unless you are comparing it to other industrial flooring. ISTR it usually comes in black grey red and blue, possibly green too. However, my experience of the tile version of this flooring is that it becomes slippery when wet, so it may not be a good choice for a bathroom.

I thought this would be good to fit in my last kitchen but the company that I was trying to buy it from talked me out of it. They said that it would always look crap cos it is designed for use in places where there is someone on a sit-on washer/vacuum machine going round cleaning it the whole time. In a kitchen, crud would settle between the dimples and be a PITA to keep clean

I used Unibond bathroom and shower sealant from the local shed. Expensive at 8 quid a go but it's so bloody waterproof it's v.difficult to smooth it after application 'cos it sticks to

*everything*. Flexible too, the only thing that broke it in our case was for some reason the shower tray managed to drop a few mm (don't ask why, I dunno yet!) and the stuff stretched and broke the grout on the surrounding tiles resulting in much leakage.....

The moral to this tale is if yer tray doesn't drop this stuff is good! IMO obviously.
