Heavy-Duty Dot PVC Floor Matting – 2.5mm Vinyl Roll, 20m x 0.98m
Price shown updates with the option you pick.
The heavy-duty version of our dot matting: 2.5mm thick with larger raised buttons, for busy walkways, corridors and workshops where the 1.6mm grade would wear too fast.
This is a 2.5mm flexible PVC floor covering supplied in 20m rolls, 0.98m wide, so one roll covers 19.6 m². It is about 60% heavier than our 1.6mm small-dot matting. It also has larger raised buttons with a stippled top, set in a staggered pattern, which give more grip underfoot and stand up to constant foot traffic. It resists chemicals, oils and acids, and trolleys and pallet trucks roll over it easily.
It still lies flat, follows the subfloor and cuts to size on site with a sharp knife, so installation is as quick as the lighter grade. Choose from dark grey, blue or red. There is also a recycled black option, made from 100% reprocessed factory waste, at a lower price.
BUILT FOR HIGH FOOTFALL
At 2.5mm and 3.75 kg/m² it is the thicker, heavier grade, for walkways, corridors and work areas that see people and trolleys all day.
RAISED BUTTON GRIP
The larger buttons have a stippled top and sit in a staggered pattern. That gives a positive, even grip in every direction, and there are no channels to trap dirt.
QUICK TO LAY
Unroll it, let it relax, and trim it with a knife. Lay rolls side by side for wider areas. There is no adhesive to wait on.

INSTALLATION
Sweep the floor clean and dry. Unroll the matting and let it relax flat at room temperature, ideally overnight. Then trim it to size with a sharp knife against a straight edge. Loose-laying suits most areas. On busy trolley routes, or where you want a permanent floor, bond it down with a suitable flooring adhesive or double-sided tape.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Vacuum or sweep to remove grit. Mop with warm water and a neutral or mild alkaline cleaner, then let it dry. No special cleaning tools are needed.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is this different from the 1.6mm dot matting?
This grade is thicker (2.5mm against 1.6mm) and heavier (3.75 kg/m² against 2.35 kg/m²), with larger stippled buttons. It is made for busier areas. For lighter traffic or temporary cover, the 1.6mm small-dot matting costs less per m².
Will trolleys and pallet trucks run over it?
Yes. Hand pallet trucks, trolleys, roll cages and wheelchairs all roll over it easily. It isn't designed for powered forklift traffic. For vehicle routes, ask us about heavier matting.
Does it need gluing down?
Usually not. Its extra weight helps it stay put. Glue or tape it where wheels turn tightly or where it crosses a busy route.
Can I cut it myself?
Yes, with a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. Let it relax flat before you cut, and allow up to 2% for shrinkage.
Is it oil and chemical resistant?
It resists most acids, alkalis and oils, which makes it a good fit for workshops and garages. Ask us to check a specific chemical.
Why is black only available as recycled?
The recycled mat is made from reprocessed factory waste, and black is the colour it comes in. It is the same 2.5mm mat, and it costs less.
Is it suitable for wet areas or bare feet?
It isn't a drainage mat, so water sits on top. For showers, pool surrounds and other barefoot areas, choose ribbed barefoot matting. For wet workplaces, choose open grid matting.
