Default Can anyone recommend anywhere for cheap rubber floor matting?

As title. Looking for rubber floor mats for a workshop space. Ideally two mats with bevelled edges to not trip up on, roughly 1.5m x 2m and 6mm thick or more if possible. Even looking online places seem to cut off rolls (so not all bevelled edges) or are crazily expensive. I'm sure I've seen places do cheaper individual mats before but can't find anything now.

There's a few around that are all holes, but I'm looking for something solid with a textured or lined surface.

Any leads appreciated if anyone has any?

what your looking for is called anti fatigue matting, it comes with safety edges.

in the workshop that i frequent we use old professional yoga/tumbling mats at the punch/press machines but they have a square edge, the edge is soft so even if you do kick it your foot does not cause you to trip.

if its to stop cold from concrete floors then get yourself some cork foot beds for your boots. them and anti fatigue matting is superb.

Let me ask my colleagues at the TV company who do the cricket as they lay these over the cables so the wheelchairs can roll over them easily. May take a few days to get an answer.

Thanks. Just to stress they do need bevelled edges... public liabilty for visitors, insurance etc.

We have them in another workshop I work in but can't find out where they got them. They're also for padding components that we have to hammer parts on to so that they aren't hammered onto the hard floor, as well as for comfort, isolation from cold floor.

I got a couple of bevelled fatigue mats for my workshop several years ago, 99% certain it was from http://www.langdeanrubber.co.uk/services/
They are 5'x3' like the items shown in the gallery on the "services" page link above, cost a touch over £30 for the two (admittedly several years ago, and I did collect them). They are very heavy rubber so postage could be significant. They have stood up extremely well to swarf etc.
Not quite what you want but worth an ask to see what else they do.
