Rubber Sole Board
R82.11 incl. VAT
We offer sole boards made of recycled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) with the following dimensions:
- thickness: 30 mm
- size: 230 mm x 500 mm
- weight: 3.4 kg per unit (steel reinforced).
The boards are engineered to provide superior stability and meet or exceed industry standards for safety and performance.
RUBBER SCAFFOLDING BOARDS FOR SALE
Unlike timber scaffolding boards, our recycled rubber sole boards won’t sag, splinter or deteriorate. They are water- and UV-resistant, non-conductive and extremely durable.
The inherent elasticity of rubber provides superior shock absorption. This reduces impact on overlying structures and provides better stability for scaffolding than either timber or plastic options.
Made from recycled truck tyres, our PermaFlex® rubber sole boards also contribute to sustainable building practices and reduce environmental impact.

Use of sole boards in construction
Sole boards – also called sole plates, sole pads or scaffolding base boards – are used under scaffold base jacks to prevent the base plates from slipping or sinking into the underlying surface material.
One sole board is placed under each base plate. This makes scaffolding much sturdier and safer.
Typically, sole boards are required where scaffolding is:
- supported directly by the soil or subgrade
- on concrete slabs or block paving
- on asphalt or tarmac.
Advantages of rubber for scaffolding base boards
Traditional timber sole boards are vulnerable to water damage, which can result in sagging and deterioration. They may also crack or splinter, especially after prolonged exposure to water and/or extreme temperatures.
Plastic sole boards are more water-resistant. However, because they’re entirely rigid, they may offer less protection against impact and slippage. Plastic options also aren’t always an environmentally responsible choice.
By contrast, our rubber sole boards are:
