Warehouses and retail spaces need practical flooring that’s safe, long-lasting and easy to maintain.
Rubber flooring is a great solution for retail spaces, warehouses, storage facilities and other commercial and industrial sites.
Flooring challenges in retail spaces and warehouses
Retail spaces and warehouses need a tough flooring that can stand up to the rigours of extensive foot traffic and heavy machinery, such as forklifts. They also need to be easy to clean and maintain.
Concrete is a popular and inexpensive flooring choice for warehouses, but it offers no impact absorption and can be damp and cold.
Van Dyck’s interlocking honeycomb rubber mats are ideal for warehouses, storage areas and retail spaces that need practical, durable flooring.
Epoxy floors are often used in these spaces because they’re hard-wearing, but they can be slippery. They are also time-consuming and disruptive to install with long curing times.
Other flooring options, like tiles, can’t handle the level of wear and tear that busy warehouses and retail spaces experience.
The benefits of rubber flooring for retail spaces and warehouses
Rubber flooring can solve many issues in retail spaces and warehouses that are caused by less ideal floor coverings. Different spaces may have different needs – such as drainage – but the benefits of rubber flooring apply to most retail and warehousing areas. Rubber flooring is:
- easy to install – quick to lay and won’t disrupt operations
- temperature resilient – handles hot and cold temperatures
- flexible – won’t crack or warp with prolonged use
- low maintenance – easy to clean and disinfect
- non-slip – offers a safe surface
- noise reduction – absorbs vibrations and impacts
- aesthetically pleasing – neat, tidy and available in different colours
- Insulating – protects properties against cold and heat
- protective – soft surface for machinery with less wear and tear of equipment
- good drainage – when installed on the right surface.

Why choose Van Dyck rubber flooring
