Rubber floor matting

username000

Does anyone know where I could buy rubber floor matting in Dublin?

I am looking for something like this:

www .floormats.co.uk/circular-studded-rubber-matting

(sorry had to add a space after the www as it wouldnt let me post a link or a pic)

I have tried Woodies, Argos, B&Q.

Wow, great find. I don't want a whole roll tho, just a metre or two.

Thanks all, I had found it on ebay alright but its too large for Parcel Motel lockers and most of them are too expensive to ship to Ireland - although I may revisit that.

Look up local flooring contractors. I know we tend to have tons of cut-offs of that stuff after we do any decent sized job.

Unfortunately I have none at the moment.

Thanks tenbob1.

I thought Id let ye know what I want it for then maybe people might have other ideas.

I live in a small enough apartment. I have an own front door hallway that I did not tile when I moved in, I put laminate flooring down. I want to get it tiled at some stage but dont have the money right now.

We keep a bicycle in the hallway and at this time of year particularly, there is water, oil, mud, dirt etc coming off it onto the floor. At this stage the laminate is getting damaged from it as its never getting a chance to dry out - besides it looking awful - I wash it down regularly but by the next evening there can be bike dirt there again.

Anyway, until Ive the money to get the area tiled I was thinking I could put down a large rubber mat to take the dirt, then I could just lift it out and wipe it down outside from time to time and itd stop the damage to the laminate.

I dont have any options for a garden or shed etc...

How about something like this

Argos I used to do these, and I would imagine any sports store selling home gym equipment would carry them. They are designed to protect your floor under heavy gym equipment

just put down a couple of rubber backed door mats (aka barrier mats) or a carpet runner.

How about this as a very cheap but effective solution: http://www.halfords.ie/motoring/garage-equipment/overalls-safety-equipment/rolson-6-piece-floor-mat-set-120-x-180cm ? Ten euro a set!!

Thanks, I had a look at these but theyre too "thick", I need to be able to open the front door inwards over whatever I use, but thanks for the idea. Theres actually something that might do it on that site though:

I looked at these but we used to use these in a supermarket I worked in and if they get wet continuously they get smelly. I really wanted something I could wash down easily.
