Dalsouple rubber flooring - help

Recommended Posts

Hi All,


We are looking at having some rubber flooring installed in our basement. We have narrowed it down to the Dalsouple rubber tiles but then someone told me they had some issues with the sealant that was laid on it making it very dusty and slippery. Has anyone had that experience using Dalsouple rubber tiles too?


Thank you for any knowledge you may have

I've speced it on many jobs in the past


It's used extensively by the NHS and local authorities


Being pure rubber it's static free pretty much, so dust won't be an issue if the building is dust free


Just make sure the sealant type and guidelines are adhered to fastidiously, it performs well after that


Lastly, The Tate at St Ives has this down in many spaces


I'd advise you go for the smooth finish

Dalsouple is a very good product but it is pricey, especially for a laundry room and 'other stuff'. I once bought some rubber floor tiles for a Utilty room from this company, including the sealant, although with the studded tiles you are supposed to get anti-slip qualities... http://www.rubberflooringco.co.uk/product/Rubber-Tiles

Expect to get dust as it's a laundry room, but it will tend to gather away from where you walk, i.e. corners, along skirtings, nothing a quick hoover up can't remedy...

We have tiles from the rubber floor company, but assume issues are the same with Dalsouple.

We have studs, but I wouldnt expect smooth to be slippy. I can just about do a skid in my socks, but never have any worries with slipping, probably less slippy than lino/similar.


I think I understand the point about being "dusty": after polishing the rubber has a really nice shine to it, which it loses pretty quickly so looks slightly dull and "dusty" (but isnt actual dust). We dont think it's a problem, but it does look nicer when it gets its irregular polish.

    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead
