There is a specific type of rubber floor mat that can be used outdoors, this is the exclusive outdoor rubber floor mat, which is capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions such as strong rain, UV rays and snow storms. Despite this harsh environment, these outdoor rubber mats retain their unique features: slip resistance, abrasion resistance, shock absorption, noise reduction and durability. In addition, our outdoor mats are available in different colours for you to choose from, which can add a personal touch to your outdoor space. In this blog post we will look at some of the reasons why rubber flooring is the best choice for your outdoor training area and we will also look at some of the different colour options available.
1. What are the advantages of using rubber mats in an outdoor fitness area or playground?
The abrasion resistance of rubber mats is one of the main reasons why they are so widely used, especially in outdoor sports areas. In addition, outdoor rubber mats are suitable for any flat surface and you can easily place them on any flat surface.
In addition, their anti-slip properties are recognised by many consumers, especially in outdoor areas where climatic conditions generally cause other types of flooring to slide easily, whereas outdoor rubber mats do not. In addition, this anti-slip feature is also effective in reducing the risk of accidental injury.
In addition, outdoor rubber mats are also shock absorbent, which is an important consideration for anyone, especially those who work out in outdoor sports areas. Shock absorption helps to protect people from injuries caused by sports such as jumping and falling.
In addition, the sound-absorbing properties of rubber mats are also effective in reducing the noise generated during training or activities, which is an important factor for those who wish to engage in outdoor activities in a quiet environment while reducing noise disturbance to neighbouring residents.
Finally, outdoor rubber mats are water resistant, which is an important factor for those who wish to continue their outdoor activities in the rain. The water resistance will help people to continue their outdoor activities in the rain.
In addition, these outdoor rubber mats are UV resistant, meaning that they can be exposed to the sun for long periods of time without warping or fading. This is a boon for those who wish to spend time in sunny outdoor spaces.
Finally, outdoor rubber mats are fire resistant, which effectively prevents fires from occurring.
2. What conditions do rubber mats need to meet to be used outdoors?
The ground must be a flat concrete surface or a hard and level surface. If the ground is not flat or hard, the outdoor rubber mats will have a sunken and uneven surface, which will greatly reduce the experience. A flat and hard surface is the only requirement for an outdoor rubber mat.
3. Do coloured rubber mats fade? In what way is the colour covered on the rubber mats?
We use a special process developed in-house to cover the rubber mats with colour, which effectively solves the problem of fading. After destructive tests and outdoor tests in all kinds of weather, the coloured mats do not fade due to bad weather. And the durability, weather resistance and slip resistance remain the same as ever. So, an outdoor rubber mat with colour adds colour to your outdoor space as well as providing quality performance.
You must be wondering, in what way exactly is the colour covered on the rubber? We have bespoke machines that cover the rubber mats with pigments, allowing the pigment coating to co-exist amicably with sunlight, rain or other weather.
4. How are outdoor rubber mats installed?
Before installing an outdoor rubber mat, the ground needs to be kept dry and free from water. It should not be installed before or after a rainy day, but preferably when the weather is sunny. Clean the ground before installation, then brush the ground with waterproof polyurethane glue, then lay the outdoor rubber mats neatly on the ground.

Do not use the rubber mat immediately after installation, leave it for 24 hours before moving around on it.
