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.

    • Hello,  Does anyone know of a garage to rent in the East Dulwich area?  Best,  Anthony 
    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
    • Glad this is back on, looking forward to seeing you all tonight
