Coverage Calculator & Sizing Guide

Each tile covers [X] square metres. To calculate how many tiles you need:

Measure the length and width of your area in metres
Multiply length × width to get total square metres
Divide by [X] and round up to the nearest whole number
Add 5-10% extra for cuts and wastage

Example: A 3m × 2m decking area = 6m² ÷ [X] = [Y] tiles needed (plus 1-2 extra for cuts)

Why Choose Rubber Co Anti-Slip Matting Over Alternatives?

Solution	Pros	Cons
Our Rubber Matting	Instant installation, removable, no surface prep, works on any surface, long-lasting	Initial investment higher than paint
Anti-Slip Paint/Coating	Low initial cost, invisible solution	Wears off quickly, requires surface prep, messy application, needs recoating annually, doesn't work on damaged surfaces
Grip Tape/Strips	Very cheap, easy to apply	Peels off in weather, looks unsightly, limited coverage, adhesive damages wood
Decking Grooves/Ridges	Built into decking boards	Only works on new installations, grooves fill with algae, expensive replacement, limited effectiveness when wet

Installation Guide – Simple 3-Step Process

No tools or adhesives required. Anyone can install in minutes.

Prepare Surface: Sweep area clean and ensure surface is dry. No other preparation needed—works on wood, composite, concrete, metal, or stone.
Lay First Tile: Position your first tile in a corner or starting point. The interlocking edges should face the direction you'll be expanding.
Connect Remaining Tiles: Simply align the next tile and press the interlocking edges together until they click. Continue across your area. For edges and corners, tiles can be easily cut to size with a sharp Stanley knife or jigsaw.

Pro Tips: Start from the most visible corner and work backwards. For curved edges, create a cardboard template first. Tiles can be lifted and repositioned at any time.

Maintenance & Care Instructions

Regular Cleaning: Hose down with water or use a stiff brush with soapy water
Deep Clean: Use a pressure washer on low setting (max 1500 PSI)
Algae Prevention: Apply diluted patio cleaner twice yearly in shaded areas
Winter Care: No special treatment needed—fully frost and ice resistant
Storage: Can be lifted and stored during winter months if desired (interlocking design makes this easy)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop my decking being slippery in winter?

Our anti-slip rubber matting provides immediate traction even in ice and snow. The deep grip pattern and rubber compound remain effective down to -40°C, unlike paint or tape solutions that become ineffective when frozen. Simply lay the mats over your existing slippery decking—no permanent modifications needed.

What is the best anti-slip matting for wooden decking in the UK?

Rubber interlocking mats are superior to alternatives because they don't require surface preparation, won't damage your decking, and can be removed for cleaning underneath. Our mats are specifically designed for UK weather conditions and meet British building regulations for slip resistance.

Will this work on composite decking?

Yes, absolutely. Our matting works on all decking types including composite, wood, PVC, and aluminium. The interlocking design means no adhesives that could damage your composite surface, and the mats can be easily lifted for seasonal cleaning.

How do I make my garden path less slippery?

Lay our anti-slip matting directly over your existing path surface—whether it's paving slabs, concrete, gravel, or decking. The rubber grips the surface underneath while providing maximum traction on top. Perfect for shaded paths that develop algae or moss.

Is this suitable for wheelchair ramps?

Yes, our matting meets Part M of UK Building Regulations for accessible ramps. The surface provides excellent grip for wheelchair tyres and walking aids whilst remaining smooth enough for comfortable rolling. Ideal for both permanent and temporary ramp installations.

Can I cut the tiles to fit awkward shapes?

Yes, the rubber tiles can be easily cut with a sharp utility knife, Stanley knife, or jigsaw. We recommend creating a cardboard template for complex shapes, then transferring to the mat and cutting. Always cut on the reverse (flat) side for cleanest results.

How long will these mats last outdoors?

With proper care, expect 5-10+ years of service life. The UV-resistant rubber won't crack, fade, or degrade in sunlight, and the material is designed to withstand constant exposure to British weather including frost, rain, and temperature fluctuations.

Do I need to fix them down or will they move?

The interlocking design and rubber weight keep the mats securely in place under normal use. For very exposed locations or high-traffic commercial areas, optional edge fixings are available. Most residential installations require no additional fixing.

What's the difference between this and cheaper anti-slip mats?

Our mats use premium recycled rubber compound with higher density and superior UV stabilisation. Cheaper mats often use lower-grade materials that become brittle, crack in frost, or lose their grip texture within 12-24 months. We hold UK stock for immediate dispatch and provide technical support.

UK Building Regulations Compliance

Our anti-slip rubber matting meets the following UK standards and regulations:

Part K (Protection from falling): Slip resistance requirements for ramps, walkways, and external surfaces
Part M (Access to buildings): Accessibility requirements for disabled access ramps and pathways
BS 7976: Pendulum test for slip resistance—achieves high slip resistance rating when wet
HSE Guidance: Complies with Health & Safety Executive recommendations for workplace slip prevention
