Can I Use a Rubber Work Mat In My Rented Art Studio?

Very few people are fortunate enough to have their very own personal art studio space. Most of the time, aspiring as well as established artists have to resort to renting studio space in order to create their masterpieces. And more often than not, these spaces tend to be large industrial places. These are usually large shared spaces, which will more than likely consist of large cubicle sized area and hard concrete floors. A rubber work mat can provide much needed relief from cold concrete surfacing, while providing many other functions. And with the added worry of having to carefully care for a rented space, a rubberized workshop floor will grant you more freedom without the worry of damage to the buildings flooring, such as permanent paint spills, or accidental chipping. Any number of well-placed rubber workbench mats will give you peace of mind, allowing you to really get into the creative zone. With rubber products coming in a variety of styles, such as industrial tile, or more colorful and bright interlocking puzzle design, there’s something for everyone. Whatever the case may be, a rubber work mat is definitely something you can use in your art studio.

  1. Safety First
    First and foremost, you should always think of safety in whatever environment you happen to be in. But nothing could be truer than in the art studio. Whether you’re working with paint, or on the potter’s wheel sculpting some amazing vases—having a reliable workshop floor is going to ensure that you’re able to continue creating for years to come. With the possibility of water or paint spills, or if you’re moving around heavy art pieces or equipment, you always want to have a slip-resistant rubber work mat under your feet. A good example of safety features can be seen in the industrial tile floor design, which comes with drainage holes to keep water from pooling and becoming a hazard.

2. Comfort

Rubber floors mats also offer natural comfort and warmth. A rubber mat can relieve stress and fatigue on backs, legs, and joints due to its elasticity. As a result, our rubber mats will increase physical comfort and allow you to focus on your work instead of your aching back. Again, this quality is especially seen in the thicker design of industrial tile, which has an original intended purpose of being used inside of large restaurant kitchens where employees can be on their feet for hours on end.

3. Surface Protection

A rubberized workshop floor also provides a layer of protection for the original surface of your art studio. So whether you’re fortunate enough to work from home, or if you’re renting out a specific space, protecting the original flooring should be a high priority unless you want to end up with costly repairs. Strategically placed workbench mats will protect floors from any heavy machinery that you may be using as well as from the severe impacts of falling tools, and vibrations. However, if you’re working with paint— a perforated tile may not be the best choice for this particular application do to its drainage holes, in which case there are still many other styles to choose from.

4. Ease of Maintenance

A rubber work mat is also incredibly easy to clean! This means less time worrying about cleanup and more time with your Muse. Usually all that is required is a broom and mop, but if your workbench mats ever need a bit more TLC they can easily be hosed down with water without any fear of damaging the product. And due to their natural resistance against water, there’s no fear of mold or bacteria growing.

5. Affordability

Many rubber mats are made from recycled material. Without having to use brand new resources every time, which require production and refinement, the savings are passed down to consumers. Eco-friendly products aren’t just good for the environment; they’re also very good for your wallet. Not to mention that a rubberized workshop floor save you a lot of money on repairs!

6. DIY—Easy Installation and Removal

Rubber mats are incredibly easy to install and remove. These mats can be purchased in rolls or interlocking pieces (such as industrial tile), for fast installation. This gives you the benefit of being able to put down your own workshop floor, which can easily consist of just one work mat or any number of workbench mats. With this amount of freedom you can cover any surface, regardless of shape or size. And rubber matting is just as easy to remove for cleaning or replacement after wear and tear starts to show. Not to mention you’ll be able to leave your space exactly as you found in the event that you’re renting.
