Need a 6.5m roll (or longer) X 2.5m - workshop flooring, and heavy duty. Not looking for alternatives, just can't find a suitable supplier 😬
Any one know?

I wanted some for a horsebox ramp, had to wait until a Scotland trip as we could only get it from someone near Birmingham.

Heavy duty...I think it was a 15*2 metre roll and it took two people to lift, I used half and the second half was still almost impossible to pick up due to its awkward shape.

I think it was advertised on eBay but collection only

Horsey supplies place. As said ^^ it's surprisingly heavy in 10mm flavour

Our workshop has 16mm deep rubber mats from a gym which went bust and was selling off their flooring. 2x1m ish sizes mats.

My lbs has rubber matting with circles in so when you drop a bolt or ball bearing they get caught and don't roll away so you can find them. It's come in useful many a time

Yep - horsey supply places.

It’s widely used for stable flooring.

I’ve got 18mm horse stall mats throughout my garage for workshop/gym use. They weigh an absolute ton! A horse supplier is best place for that stuff. There’s a few online but can’t remember what delivery charges were for mats or rolls

Have you considered one of the click together workshop flooring options?

If it's for business you can also get clever and mark out workstations/walkway with different colour flooring too, and much easier to courier/handle/install than heavy matting.

I was looking for a similar width for my workshop and couldn’t find anyone who did anything wider than 1.5m bar one or two places that were astronomically expensive (sorry, don’t have the links anymore). Went for 1.5m and just did an extra run. Cut neatly and with suitable adhesive at the join your can’t tell and hasn’t caused any issue in a couple of years of use

I used these guys, hardwearing flooring although only 3mm thick (fine for my usage. does have an odour (not unpleasant)which takes a while to dissipate and makes your kit smell faintly of rubber!
