I'm on a concrete floor and after a full day my feet can get a bit achy, Thought this might help.

I take it this non-slip?!
I don't fancy skidding across the workshop if this flies out from under me! :shock:

 

[Blister]

Yes I have it

Does help slightly

Not easy to keep clean , and I keep tripping over the edge :roll:

I got the same sort of stuff from B& thingy last year and it was well worth buying. I have a concrete floor too and it would suck the heat out of you in no time, aside form the discomfort of standing on it all day. I have them at the lathe. I also use a length of butyl rubber from a conveyor belt at the bench and it is a good job too (heavy and stays in place).

My workshops have always had concrete floors and i've never had a problem- i always wear a pair of good quality toe cap boots and my feet are never cold or fatigued.

I use something similar from Machine Mart and they make a difference.
Warmer feet and less strain on knees and back.

yep I have it at the lathe and workbench and wouldn't be without it now. I notice the difference in my back

I have some I bought from that auction site. £13 for 6 interlocking mats with yellow edging total 2.23m2

I have carpet tiles on my garashop floor - much better than concrete.
Bought at auction for not a lot.

Might not be as good as the proper stuff, but much cheaper for the area covered.

Hello all,

Yes I also have matting bought in a sale from Maplin, much better than my cold concrete floor.

Yep definately worth getting if you have a concrete floor.
Not only does it feel better on you feet/legs but it protects your tools when you drop em,like i have done in the past :roll:

£13 something for 2.97sqm from Costco.

Si can you pick me a pack up next time you're in there please mate? No rush.

 

[Oryxdesign]

No problem, I've probably got an unopened pack somewhere so I can sort you out next time you're down.

 

[OldWood]

Great stuff - get it from Costco as Oryx says - and having such a covering has made me far more conscientious about keeping the floor clean.

Also good for a tent floor.

Cheers guys!

I've bought some so we'll see how it is!

(I only wanted somthing to bump my Axminster order from £40 to £50 to get postage. £120 later..... :shock: )

Anywa it can't hurt to give it a bash i reckon.
My girly little feet do get a bit cold and sore!

I've only got it in front of my workbench and I really notice the difference if I walk around to work from the side.
