Heads up (Netto) rubber matting

[George]

Netto have nice rubber matting @ 4.99 a pack, ideal for obsevatory floors.

Got 4 packs for mine today...lovely stuff, keep your feet warm in winter and no worries when dropping eyepieces etc

I have just been looking at the leaflet on this stuff. I am looking for something to cover my wooden floor in my newly created workshop.

It will need to be fairly robust, as it will be coping with swarf from both lathe and milling machine. Plus my constant back and forth walking about in there. Anyone who has bought some, I would appreciate an appraisal based on the usage for which I intend it.

Many thanks. Ron.

Dunno how well it would stand up to having stuff trampled into it but for the price its ideal for an observatory where to be honest your hardly roaming about. Anyhows I fitted mine today and here's a couple of piccys:

You can see how it interlocks

Hardest bit done (round the pier)

Finished!

Well they look great in you Ob. George, but maybe you are right, I think I may need ssomething a bit harder wearing for a workshop.

Thanks very much for the images. It looks very comfy in there.
