Not every gym space fits a standard roll length — and that's exactly why we cut to your exact requirements. Our rubber gym matting rolls are available in any length you need, cut from 1m-wide stock before dispatch so you receive a piece that fits your space perfectly with zero off-cut waste. From a 1.5m strip under a rowing machine to a 15m run covering an entire cardio floor, we cut accurately to the nearest centimetre. Choose from 4mm to 12mm thickness to suit your application, and the continuous seamless surface means no joins to trip on or catch equipment feet.
Why Choose a Roll Over Tiles?
| Feature | Rubber Roll | Rubber Tiles |
|---|---|---|
| Joins / Trip Hazards | ✅ Zero joins — seamless surface | ❌ Joins every 0.5–1m |
| Narrow / Long Spaces | ✅ Ideal — rolls fit corridors & lanes | ❌ Awkward cutting required |
| Waste | ✅ Cut to exact length — zero waste | ❌ Off-cuts from borders |
| Weight per m² | ✅ Lighter than equivalent thick tiles | ❌ Heavier per m² at 12mm+ |
| Installation | ✅ Lay & cut — no locking required | ⚠️ Interlocking edges needed |
| Hygiene | ✅ No gaps for dirt or bacteria | ⚠️ Joins can trap sweat/dirt |

Ideal Applications
- Custom-length gym floor installations
- Single equipment bays requiring a precise fit
- Hallways and corridors requiring an exact length

- Replacement sections for worn areas of existing flooring

- Any gym space where minimising waste is important
How to Order & Measure
Ordering the right amount is simple:
- Measure your space: Length × Width. Our rolls are 1m wide, so for a 5m × 3m room you'd need three separate 5m lengths (covering 3m width).
- Choose your thickness using the guide above.
- Select cut-to-length or full 10m roll — cut-to-length is perfect for odd dimensions with zero waste.
- Add to cart and we'll cut your order to the nearest centimetre before dispatch.

Installation Guide
- Prepare the sub-floor: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, flat and free from dust, grease or debris.
- Acclimatise the roll: Allow the rubber to unroll and rest in the room for 30–60 minutes before fitting — this removes any curl from transit.
- Lay from one edge: Start at the longest straight wall and roll out, trimming to fit with a sharp utility knife and straight edge.
- Butt edges tightly: If using multiple rolls side by side, push edges flush together — no overlap.
- Secure if required: For permanent installations use double-sided carpet tape or rubber flooring adhesive along edges and seams. For loose-lay gym use, the weight of rubber is usually sufficient.
- Trim door thresholds: Use rubber edging strips or bevelled trim for a neat, safe edge at doorways.
- Final check: Walk the surface to ensure no bubbles or lifted edges before bringing in equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum and maximum cut length I can order?
We can cut from as short as 0.5m up to a full 10m roll length. For most applications, enter your required length in metres (e.g. 3.75m) at checkout and we'll cut to that precise dimension before dispatch.
How accurate is the cut?
We cut to the nearest centimetre using precision cutting equipment. For critical installations we recommend measuring twice and adding a small allowance (1–2cm) that you can trim on-site with a utility knife.
Can I order multiple different cut lengths in one order?
Yes. Add each cut length as a separate line item at checkout. We'll cut each piece to your specified dimensions and despatch in one shipment where possible.
Is cut-to-length more expensive per metre than buying a full roll?
The per-metre price is the same whether you order cut-to-length or a full roll. There's no premium for the cutting service. You simply pay for the metres you need.
Can I return or exchange a cut-to-length order?
Cut-to-length products are custom-cut to your specification and cannot be returned or exchanged unless the product is faulty or incorrectly cut. Please measure carefully before ordering.
How long does cut-to-length delivery take?
Cut-to-length orders placed before noon on weekdays are typically cut and dispatched same day, with delivery in 1–2 working days UK mainland.
