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.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
